A Newman in perfect condition is not easy to find today, and one in truly superb condition is a hunt that demands patience.

We recently showed a Newman 6239 with white dial in perfect condition – the one once worn by Paul Newman himself. That watch is not for sale. Here is its counterpart: a 6239 Newman with black dial, again in perfect condition.

A great deal of work went into every Newman dial, and there are many details on these dials that come from the craftsmanship invested in each one. They deserve a closer look in a later post.
