Consigned by a private collector, this double red Sea-Dweller is a very charismatic example. The lumes have aged to a very warm ivory which matches the hands. The dial is known as a MK4, which is distinguished by the red print of the 'Sea-Dweller' and 'Submariner' signatures as though it is made of tiny dots. The Coronet is large and the spikes are clearly defined.
