AVI
TRANSITIONAL

Rare example noted in our Journal Click Here
Thought to be previously un-documented the Bezel of this piece has a serrated edge but with full 1-11 numbered increments (instead of a number followed by a ‘dash’ marker alternate) similar to the beaded edge bezel of the earlier All Black AVI’s.
Making for a very interesting and lesser seen version of an already iconic watch.
The Reverse Panda AVI is also commonly referred to as the ‘Raquel Welch’ due to this model featuring on her wrist in the 1967 film Fathom.
