Mark II Frog Foot Dial
Explorer II Frog Foot 1655 — Mark II Frog Foot Dial
Second dial, still “T SWISS T”, told apart by the “frog foot” coronet with thin, irregular points and a narrower PERPETUAL. Like the Mark I, it came with the off-centre thick-numeral bezel. Dated examples: papers April 1973 (with Mark I bezel and straight hand), case 3.77M (c. 1974), 3'913'260 (c. 1975) and 5'513'969 (1978, guarantee 1980).
Five production dial Marks plus two service dialer Jahre (tritium and Luminova), four bezel types and two seconds hands. Sold slowly; a 1983 example sat at its retailer for six years. Dated case numbers run from about 2.7M (1971) to about 8.27M (c. 1984).
