A reference i would love to wear.

This is on the right next to the paler 1942, which was fully maderized. 1940 still had nice color. We would have guessed’70’s.

We all enjoyed it!

1940 530a sector with Barolo. Wine and watch have survived.

The only thing we know for sure is that mine (gold moon) is early in the production and my friend's is later. I guess they made parts from time to time and changed a bit over time. There was a prior discussion about how they changed one of the bridges at one point as well.

Eight of us gathered to celebrate was our friends' 60th. One attendee and I wore the same watch -- 5004p. Mine is more opaline with a gold moon, the other more silvery and with silver moon. Menu and wines continued with dishes of duck confit, then beef, and cheeses from the region.

Even though I have the Freccero in Uruguay, I am not 100% sure what you mean by tropical, other than that they could withstand the climate.

But I imagine it is a bit fragile with so many moving parts. It is not that old, but a bit, and feels somehow like an older design to me. I would not wear it exposed in rain or cooking. I have washed my hands wearing it will no ill effects so far.

I am tall yet have small wrists. The width is great and I don't mind the thickness.
