It was a two year run (1998/99) of 5000 pieces based on the original Premier (and Fred has them all :-) )
It came in two dial colours, this silver/champagne and black although I believe the silver was a bit more rare or so I read somewhere.
It was classified as a Navitimer for some strange reason or at least that's what the back case says. Fred will no doubt be able to explain it.
1999 models I believe had the date window added.
There was also a Grand Premier which had the sub-dials in the 6/9/12 config.
Here is the back:

Yeah, that ivory dial is growing on me a bit. I didn't initially see the light gold outlining of the markers. Looking good.
