Playing around with my CA M1 today, I pulled out the crown 1 click and pressed button 'B' to move the other large chrono hand around to the Regatta markings: If the other M1 without Regatta markings has the same movement - B73 - surely this can also be done with the other large hand? Therefore, does the Regatta dial make any difference to counting down from a set time? A little bit more legible perhaps, but anyone can count down 10 mins on a dial ! |

Marketing 101 - Market Segmentation. A few spots of paint and a pilot's watch becomes a yachting watch! eg How many men do you know with a pink phone? And how may women? Most people buy image, not function. |
