DIAL: SO CLASSIC AND BOLD. I LOVE A GOOD VINTAGE BLACK DIAL, AND THIS ONE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT. THE APPLIED STEEL MARKERS WITH THE STRIPS OF LUME REMIND ME OF THOSE USED ON THE DEVIL DIVER DEEP SEA CHRONO. THE AGED TRITIUM ON THOSE STRIATED STEEL STICK HANDS MATCH NICELY WITH THAT ON THE DIAL. I REALLY DIG THE 24 HOUR SLOPING GMT CHAPTER RING WITH THE DAY/NIGHT 24 DIAL DIVISION. REALLY ADDS A NICE POP OF CONTRAST TO THAT DIAL. COOL 2-TONE DAY/DATE WINDOW IS A SWEET LOOK.
