A date window replaces the 6 o’clock mark, likewise the Victorinox logo replaces the 12 o’clock marker.
The blue dial features a subtle guilloche design that forms a loped flange ring around the edge of the dial. In turn this creates a level of depth, that is made more visible through the reheat which is also home to the circular slide rule.
