6350 Explorer 1

Ref. 6350 is often referred to as the Honeycomb dial, but still has the appearance of a watch. Anyway, it is a tentative mirror dial but the central honeycomb part, either because of it’s shape or that few of them have much lustre, looks quite low-key. Maybe that’s a good point.

There are roughly two types of hands—the ‘Benz’ and ‘Injection’. The second hand is pretty large and also carries a dot.

These are ‘pencil’ hands. This type carries a dot on the second hand’s tip. I think the dial in this image has more of a mirror feeling about it.

Models from around this generation match their belts really well, and the small-size feels really attractive. They are few in number, and have recently become quite hard to find when looking.
