Case
Excellent thick and sharp 42mm case that has very light wear from and but retains well defined original chamfers. The watch comes with the screw down caseback.
Comes with correct Calibre 11 automatic movement.
Bezel/Insert
Very nice bezel with well defined edges. The original black insert has some wear from use, primarily toward the outer edge.
Dial
Very nice original Mk 6 white "Jo Siffert" chronograph dial with lume that has aged to creamy yellow patina in the hour markers. The dial has black sub-dials and the left sub-dial reading 1-12 hours is how to discern it is a Mk 6 variation. The sub-dials have accrued some wear with age. The white portion of dial has aged to a creamy hue and there is aging around the outside edge, mostly showing near the 1 and 2 o'clock markers.
Hands
Excellent original blue insert hands with lume that has aged to the same creamy yellow patina as the markers.
Bracelet/Strap
Very nice Gay Freres stamped, Heuer 'beads of rice/grains of rice" bracelet with 17 links and HLF end links. The bracelet has very light stretch and wear for its age.
The clasp is stamped: GF 4 70
