The matte black dial remains in excellent vintage condition. The "art deco" numerals have a classic vintage aesthetic. The lume plots are fully intact and have achieved a charming golden patina. The original hands remain in excellent condition and although a touch lighter in coloration is is a common occurrence with early Polerouter Sub's.
