Description: XO Retro M1 Abrahams Tank DNA Rose Gold-tone Plated with Day, Date & Month on Blue Dial XO Retro Timepieces contain Authentic and Original metal or 'DNA' recovered from Automotive, Military or Historical machines. These specific 'genes' have been amalgamated into the 316L Surgical Grade Stainless Steel of the watch case or can sometimes be an individual part within the watch. Many of the watches are 'vintage' styled to symbolize the original article, its purpose and historical connection. They link the present directly to the past and each one embodies a famous legend, time or place.

The DAY is in the window opposite 10 o'clock The MONTH is in the window opposite 2 o'clock The DATE is read by the Red Tipped 'Crescent' Hand This reads the Date Scale from the very Edge of the Dial The 'Pusher' controls 'Month Set'UNFORTUNATELY BECAUSE OF THE POSITION OF THE HANDS WHEN PHOTOGRAPHED THE 'WINDOWS' FOR DAY & MONTH ARE OBSCURED - THEY ARE THERE....AND THEY ARE A GREAT AND USEFUL ADDITION! All is of course 316L Surgical Grade Stainless Steel - But with M1 Tank DNA. The Actual Steel from a 1991 Abrahams M1 Battle Tank is Incorporated into this Watch.It's one of XO Retro's 1991 Vintage Iraq 'Desert Storm' pieces. Almost all of the 'New Models' are 'based on' the 'object' but DON'T have the Actual DNA of the Original. These watches are exceptionally well styled, superbly finished and beautifully presented. They manage to look genuinely different in a 'clone' industry. This one is finished in Highly Polished & Brushed Rose gold-tone with Pusher & Flat Crown. It's most definitely a 'Military' watch with its 'Bund' Strap & pad in Thick Brown Leather. At 44mm diameter & 12mm thick - The real width & size is increased to 51mm with the pad. The strap has a 'textured' finish & is terminated in a Highly Polished Rose Gold-tone Buckle. The Dial is Very Dramatic and Easy to Read - Bright White on Bright Blue. The Hardened Crystal has received 18 coats of UV and anti-reflective protection. It's powered by an Excellent and Reliable Miyota 6P80 Quartz Movement. This will give Day & Month information. Both displayed in the dial's 'windows'. It will also track the date around the outer edge of the dial by the 'crescent' hand. I hope this is not too confusing but (everywhere) this piece is described as : Rose Gold-tone.. To me it looks more restrained and as standard 'Gold-tone'. I have to use the manufacturers description But please look at the pictures. They are accurate and you are seeing the actual colour of the watch I have. It also comes in some of the best packaging I have seen in a long time. Each watch is Double Gift Boxed, has a Certificate of Authenticity and 'Collectors Tag'. It has an Amazingly Comprehensive 36 page Instruction Booklet & Warranty. The care of your watch as well as every calibre & movement is explained in great detail You also have a COMPLETE PRESENTATION OF THE FULL 'XO RETRO' Watch Range. Presented in the Black XO Retro Gift Box & in Card 'Outer' Comprehensive Instruction & 1 Year Warranty Booklet Certificate of Authenticity & Collectors Tag A Collectors Dream Contains DNA from an Authentic 1991 M1 Abrahams Battle Tank Part of the distinctive XO Retro Historical Automotive Range This excellent & inventive range spans many decades and take's in key events in history.
