The dial showcases a matte black finish, with elongated luminous markers that enhance its striking design. The prominent \"5\" badge sits just below the Speed Timer branding, marking this as an early model with a 70m \"Water Proof\" indication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chronograph's \"flyback\" mechanism is an impressive feature, allowing the vivid orange sweep hand to reset to zero instantly, without needing to stop first. The original H-link bracelet, still bearing its factory sticker on the clasp, complements the watch perfectly, giving it a pristine, just-made feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition report\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chronograph is in exceptional condition, with the case retaining its original factory finishes, showing only minor, expected storage marks.
