1954 Zephyr with Unique dial

Has anyone ever seen this dial and this writing of the '50M 165ft' on the bottom like this before?

The cross hair is correct for for a zephyr but the rest of the dial has been badly repainted. Also, it looks as if it is from the early 60s.

They do exist with the depth rating. Actually there are a lot of models in the latter part of the 50s with a depth rating on the dial. Its just that this one is poorly refinished.
