It has a couple of new features. The number one thing is the ceramic basel which is scratch-proof. It took 40 to 50 hours just to make this basel. It's etched out and is so tough and scratch proof. I think the numerals are etched with platinum, so that it will not fade. The casing is also new - it's a larger size. There's also a new clasp.
It's the first among the professional sports series. The stainless steel used is called 904L and it's special because it's also used in the space shuttle.
The watch is very hot in Asia especially Singapore and Hong Kong. It's being sold at list price without discount. The only place you can get it at a discount is through a parallel importer.
