This reference was the first one to feature two pushers to operate the chronograph and two subsidiary dials, one displaying the running seconds and the other one featuring a 30-minute register. The black dial, combined with the steel case, embodies the era in which it was produced, and boasts a timeless sportiness in its attractive appearance. The case is preserved in fantastic condition - the colour of the dial makes this particular example a rarity.
