The weird part is they moved the date and cyclops too. Don’t recall that being done. This may become a ‘collectors’ watch if you can buy one at any dealer that is. Have a punt Wattie may do as well as gold mate. ‘This time next year we’ll be millionaires’
The dial and the date wheel are the only different bits I think. The case and the crystal with the cyclops are just upside down, or rotated through 180 deg if that makes sense. Even the dial blank is the same.
I quite like watches with the crown not in the usual place. Seikos are often at 4 o’clock.
I have a WWII Helvetia that was converted after the war in the US to be a ‘drivers’ watch with the crown at 6, or more accurately with the dial rotated by 90 deg. You wear it on the inside of your wrist so it is easy to read with your hands on the steering wheel.
