A picture I cannot remember where I found it, but I will credit upon request. Not a sandwich dial, but in this case, who cares? Minimalist, but strong looking, with these warm and juicy tritium indices... Perfect symmetry. Not much wording. I made a close

This is not a Mare Nostrum we see every day, with its extra " Slytech " line on the dial. The second specificity of this watch is Stallone's signature on the case back. Not many were made. From memory, I would say 50. Here it is. Credit picture: Antiquoru
