Selling a MKII Vantage automatic Explorer homage. The Vantage was an early MKII release featuring a 39mm stainless case, sapphire crystal, oyster style bracelet, ETA Swiss movement, screw down crown good for 200m water resistance. Drilled lugs make it an easy strap monster.

MKII’s take on the venerable Explorer was to take the iconic elements of the watch and add some design elements such a as a discrete date window at 4:30. It’s subtle but very useful.

This example has been worn as a daily driver and shows it. Usual surface blemishes on the case and bracelet. Crystal is clear. Matte dial/hands perfect. It’d be a great candidate for a light case polish, especially the high polished bezel which shows the expected rub marks, but I’m not one to polish my watches so the next owner can decide on that.

I’ve owned it about a year, service history unknown. Keeps good time as shown.

If you need more pics or video just ask, happy to provide.

Comes as watch, MKII warranty booklet, bracelet with extra links. No box. Currently on a NATO (included) which is how I’ve worn it since acquiring.

Great, rare piece looking for its next home.

Asking a fair and firm $850 shipped. No trades considered. Tons of positive feedback here.
Thanks for looking. Mark

This Vantage wears incredibly comfortably, looks terrific, and should scratch that 39mm Explorer itch at 1/10th the price. And frankly, it’s vastly rarer too.

Open to reasonable offers. Thanks for looking.
