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. This model has a couple nicknames amongst collectors - "Freccione" referring to the orange AM/PM indicator hand and "Steve McQueen" because of an advertisement. The Explorer II reference 1655 remains an icon and this watch would be a great addition to a watch collection. Furthermore, this watch is offered with its original box and papers and is from the family of the original owner.
