拍品专文

The present watch displays two interesting and attractive features, one being the charismatically aged dial which turned from black into a warm chocolate brown colour over the years. Furthermore, it bears the engraved military marking "M.M. 036" for "Marina Militare" (Italian Naval forces) and the relevant unit number on the case back.

Other markings found on reference 6152 case backs include:

SMZ= somozzatori (divers)
M.M.= incursori della Marina (divers of the naval forces)
G.F. = somozzatori della Guardia di Finanza (divers of the Italian military police force under the authority of the Minister of Economy and Finance)
C.C. = somozzatori dei Carabinieri (divers of police forces)
V.F. = somozzatori dei vigili del fuoco (divers of the firefighters)
