Later replacement dial with Luminova lume, marked only “SWISS” at six. Collectors sometimes number it Mark VII. Like the tritium service dial, its “R” has a straight foot.
Five production dial Marks plus two service dials ( and ), four 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).
