Rare Citizen Ace Discus...

[hannover_dk]

Great vintage, never seen it before.
Funny, with the decoration on the reverse. A discuss fish - living in the area where Rio Negro runs out into the Amazone, making the water not very clear. Shallow water.

A, for tropical fish lovers, interesting fish, quite difficult to keep. Belongs to the cichlasoma family. Cares for its young, who can actually eat from the side of the parent fishes - from a secretion they produce. Now that has nothing to do with watches, but still, very interesting choice, a freshwater fish picture on the reverse of a watch, must be rare.

Beautiful hands as well, strange that this broad arrow shape which was not so rare around 1960 is not used much on new watches. I love it, but of course there is a big risk, that the tritium will fall out from the big open areas. I suppose it is Tritium or could it be radium?

Thanks for sharing.
