Black being the more desirable of the two ( as Leica collectors have always favoured the Leica BLACK items )
A very unique design with the OCULUS "aperture" bezel design where you can see only the time when the blades are closed, and you can open the OCULUS "aperture 16 blades" to show the 3 sub-dials, chronograph 30min and 12h sub-dials, constant seconds and date window. Powered by a Vajoux automatic, 25 jeweled movement, 3 ATM water resistance and all shown with a beautiful display back!
Date window at 3 oclock position, continuous seconds at the 9 oclock position. A 30 minute continuous chronograph subdial at 12 oclock feeding the 12 hour continuous chronograph at the 6 oclock position.
Really a unique watch with the aperture bezel to open and close the "lens like" aperture blades.
Come with its presentation case, papers, certifitcate marking # 31/50pc , box, soft black leather strap with the deployant clasp and the additional short extenstion leather strap with the clasp. Easily changed with the hexagon tool also provided all in MINT condition.

The watch is already an eye catcher but the subtly of the BLACK gives it that CLASSIC Leica" touch!...along with the RED chrono 60sec hand! NICE!
Really a beautiful watch in every respect. Originally very expensive and sold for approx $25,000-30,000 USD$ when released. A great deal and a great value. A must for any Leica collector or enthusiast.
