REF.14270

BLACK OUT DIAL

CAL.3000,S/S,1991’s

SOLD OUT...

Case: Excellent condition, partial hologram is still intact on caseback.

Dial: Original tritium dial and hands in excellent condition. Silver fonts on the dial, and black enameled 3-6-9 indexes. Hands are tritium and match the dial. *Spots in picture are dust. Dial is perfect.*

Bracelet: Comes on a 78360 solid link oyster bracelet with 558B endpieces.

Notes: Perhaps one of the lowest production and most desirable sapphire crystal sport Rolexes, the Blackout has a couple unique features distinguishing it from later versions. The black enamel on the 3-6-9 was subsequently replaced with white enamel, allowing for much better visibility. Also, the silver fonts on the dial were also subsequently replaced with white printing, also perhaps for improved visibility. Found in early serials such as "E" and early "X" serial watches.

Accessories: No.

Price: ASK…

這是一只勞力士公司發展新產品路線的意外,相信許多的朋友都看過或是買過正常版的Ref,14270 EXPLORER - I,它們最大的差異就是在於錶盤上的變化及設計,在一般常態款的數字時標內3,6,9是有填充螢光原料(Black Out則是填充黑色琺瑯原料,當然不具任何發光特質,看起來就是一片黑暗的質感),這是為了延續過去勞力士探險家的傳統,它們必須要有好的視辨性,以應付冒險者的惡劣環境;這一特殊的錶款,它們的生產期是短暫的,只在(E,X字頭1990's~1991's)中生產,若嚴格來看,它們的生產期只有一年半,這是包括其他不同型號的錶款,都在這一年半它們同時一起出貨給全世界的經銷商;我對於勞力士公司的產品策略是一直無法了解意圖的,當然也因為這樣的產品及市場策略,勞力士才會顯示出其有別於其他瑞士鐘錶品牌的珍貴性,我相信你們會認同我的觀點!!
