Collectors prioritize this reference for its 41mm stainless steel \"Big Eye\" case and the manual-wind Venus 178 movement, which features a specialized fourth sub-dial at twelve o'clock for tracking a second time zone. The dial is characterized by a reverse panda configuration with tritium luminous plots and a rotating external 24-hour bezel. This reference represents the final evolution of the vintage Aero-Compax line before the brand's decline during the quartz crisis. On the secondary market, prices typically range from $15,000 to $25,000 depending on the preservation of the bezel and dial patina. A notable production detail is the \"MK1\" variant, which features a distinct red 24-hour hand, often commanding a premium at specialized timepiece auctions.", "score": 201}]}
