Produced from 1988 until about 2000, it introduced the Caliber 3155 movement, which brought the highly practical double quickset function to the lineup. This allowed both the day and date to be adjusted independently, a significant technical leap that defined the user experience for a generation. While many 18238s feature traditional champagne or silver dials, this example's factory black diamond dial offers a much stronger and less common look, shifting the watch's character from classic to assertive.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Dial With Perfect Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eWhat sets this Day-Date apart are the subtle details that reward a closer look. The factory black dial is flawless, providing a deep, clean backdrop for the diamond hour markers. The hands are also perfect. Adding to the character, the day and date wheels have developed an attractive, even tan patina. This warm tone softens the contrast against the black dial and gives the watch a unique visual signature that only comes with age.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Very Well Preserved Example\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis example is rated in Very Good condition.
