Object description

Dial and Case Construction

The watch is housed in a waterproof steel case characterized by its oversized pushers, which feature a distinct lateral opening. The black dial utilizes a gilt printing process, which involves applying gold-colored ink directly onto the surface. The layout is a two-register or bi-compax configuration, displaying chronograph functions and continuous running seconds.

The numerals and hands are applied with a luminous material referred to as 'puffy custard' due to its textured, aged appearance. According to the auction description, the dial remains in a condition without signs of wear, and the luminous markers have maintained their structure. The text 'RECORD GENEVE' is printed below the 12 o'clock position, while 'SPORT' is indicated toward the lower portion of the dial.
