    1. Thin bezel
    2. Thin crown
    3. Tapered lugs
    4. Small case (32.5mm, to be precise)
    5. Train track markers
    6. 12 deck-style numerals
    7. "Extra heavy spade" hands*
    8. Manual movement

    How close can what the modern market offer come to 8 out of 8?

    But it does have a small subdial. And I actually like the subdial on this watch. It gives it a little minimalistic character.
