Here we have a very close re edition of the icon, with some modifications, the most important being a see through case back and a modernized version of the movement.
You can get each of them separately, you are not obliged to acquire them in a set.
The retail is 19, 900 Euros each.
For the comparison, here is the original:
The case has the same size than the original, 38 mm.
I can't wait to see the re editions in the metal, for more details.
I just regret there is not a steel version available.
Best,
Nicolas
