This reference is highly coveted by elite collectors for its \"Proof\/Proof\" status—featuring the \"Water 70m Proof\" designation on both the dial and caseback, a hallmark of early production JDM models before the 1970 transition to \"Resist\" terminology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eThe architecture is quintessentially rugged, utilizing a flared \"chevron\" style stainless steel case with an external rotating countdown bezel that provides a commanding presence on the wrist. The matte black dial features a striking blue \"Sports\" logo and a specialized silver \"checkered\" minute track that offers incredible legibility and a sharp racing aesthetic. Flipping the watch over reveals the Daini lightning bolt logo, definitively confirming its authentic \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"468\"\u003eJapanese Domestic Market
