Love the case back! Is that a huntsman case back or is that just a PP term?

If anyone has any more info on this feature on JLCs I would love to be educated.

As far as I’m aware

It’s called a Hunter case back. A feature missing on the current incarnation of this watch (probably to save some gold!)
