This example dates to the early years of 79090 production in 1990. The case has been polished in the past, though not recently, and shows honest wear throughout from a life well enjoyed. The lugs and crown guards remain strong, and the original folded-link bracelet shows only minor stretch.
The blue dial is a highlight on these 79090s: the tritium lume on the markers and hands has aged to a rich, creamy hue, offering beautiful contrast against the blue backdrop and softly “ghosted” bezel.
