This reference is characterized by its 34.5mm to 35mm staybrite stainless steel case featuring a snap-on back and square chronograph pushers. Collectors prioritize this model for its use of the in-house caliber 285, a manual-wind column-wheel movement, and its \"Compur\" nomenclature, which signifies a dual-register layout. Dial variations often include multi-scale configurations with tachymeter and telemeter tracks in various colors. On the secondary market, examples typically trade between $4,000 and $8,000 depending on dial originality and case sharpness. A notable production detail is the \"Enversteel\" branding found on some casebacks, a proprietary stainless steel alloy used by the manufacture during this era. High-condition examples with rare \"tropical\" or black dials have occasionally exceeded these price brackets at specialized watch auctions.", "score": 200}]}
