![]() Some evolutions are to be noted on the bezel and its proportions too. There’s a new, far more domed sapphire crystal too over the dial, once again enhancing the retro look of the watch. Finally, there’s a new conical screw-in crown and water-resistance, as you’d expect from the name, is still rated at 300 metres. The flat surfaces are polished while the casebands are brushed. The lugs are adorned with a nice polished bevel on the side too, but nothing new here. The case still shows the same angular design, with symmetrical casebands, no crown guards and flat surfaces top and sides.
