It is a highly rare W-Bull's Eye dial Richard Automatic Chronometer SS Waterproof Model manufactured in the 1940s. It features a screw-back waterproof case with magnetic and shock resistance, and it is equipped with an AS company's early type bumper automatic Cal.275 with Incabloc. The rare two-tone color dial, known as the W-Bull's Eye, has an innovative design that includes not only the main dial but also the sub-dial with a two-tone finish. The outer perimeter features a silver-based rail track, showcasing the hidden gem's design and quality despite being relatively unknown. There are minor scratches, but the stainless steel case remains unaffected, and the dial retains the luminescence of that era. The vintage strap, which appears to be from the same period, adds to its charm as a one-owner piece with a natural appeal.
