MK1–3 Red Subs feature “Meters First” dials, these are as rare as hens' teeth. The watch we have here has the first “Feet First” dial, the MK4. The Submariner text really pops on these thanks to its white backing. The lume plots have aged to a creamy patina, and upon close inspection, are all intact but show small signs of spotting. The hands have aged beautifully, matching the dial well. The silver date wheel is also correct, with open 6s and 9s. The MK3 bezel has retained most of its colour; it’s slightly muted, with the tritium pip still intact.
