Over the years, these were produced with a variety of dial and case configurations, with this example having been produced on the earlier side dating to circa the 1940s. It features what we refer to as a 'cylinder' case, coming in at 35mm in diameter with attractive 'faceted' lugs. It remains in very-likely unpolished condition and shows normal, honest wear from age and use. It retains its correct 'mushroom' pushers and 'domed' crown. Inside, the silver three-register dial shows wear and signs of aging throughout, largely on the outer edge around the tachymeter scale and the subsidiary registers, while the center area of the dial shows less aging and remains clean. This piece also retains its correct and desirable 'squiggle' hands in the sub-registers and the hour and minute hands have been professionally color-matched to the dial. M95’s have become extremely coveted by collectors and don't come to market as often as you may think... This example in its well-rounded, honest overall condition and that little signature on the top half of the dial is one of the more unique examples that we have come across. Condition: Case: Likely-unpolished, with visible and defined factory finishing and honest signs of wear throughout. Dial: Silver surface shows wear from moisture incursion with no signs of previous refinishing or tampering. The wear is more prevalent around the edges and the center of the dial is largely clean. The hour and minute hands have been professionally color-matched. Correct handset throughout, including 'squiggle' hands in the 6 & 9 subsidiary registers.
