Evolutionary Deadend
Well, here we have a dive bezel without ant numerals - somehow this seems odd for a 1000 meter watch.
Also, in a 2 for the price of one ulgy/useless design - Crown guards offer many opportunities for the tastefully challenged to indulge their whims but this one seems wrong on so many points.
Why larger than the crown?
Why combine a bolt on guard with a protruding case design?
Why would the want to even protect a crown that looks like a poor post-service replacement?
Why add those things to a watch that is already 47mm? To increase wrist presence?

The answers are:
1. 'Cause it looks so cool.
2. See point 1.
3. In case you replace it with a crown that looks better and needs protecting.
4. Yes.

Threads like these, I always think of this Amilton. They're a brand that I like, but i can't believe this made it past the cocktail napkin stage. I mean, if you want to zap one of the 7750 subdials, nix the running seconds!
It is now my duty to completely drain you.

Actually I was thinking time is a secondary function on this watch. Date is the primary function?

Add blue second and blue pip for complete invisibility in blue water. I actually had a Fondale years ago, but it was quite different from this.
