The reference 1655 originally launched in 1971 and was specifically designed for cave explorers. This model features a fixed bezel with 24-hour display and a 24-hour hand that can be set to distinguish day from night hours. The inside of the case back is stamped II.71 indicating it is from the second quarter of 1971. This model is known as the "Steve McQueen" amongst collectors.
