A rare model of TUDOR manufactured in 1940 has arrived. It is a rare individual with the name of the famous department store "SOLAR", which was a Rolex agent in North America. It is called "AQUA", but it is said that the high waterproof performance was not well known in North America at that time, so it seems that it was intended to promote sales. Details unique to this era are packed, such as the powder dial, oyster case, and old crown engraved with OYSTER PATENT that can be seen in Rolex of the same age. The dial and luminous elements show signs of aging over time, but the fact that they have been burnt into the shape of a needle over a long period of time is also an attractive point. There is a small scratch on the case, but it does not look excessively thin, and it still has a sense of volume. The belt is equipped with an accurate form nubuck leather belt.
