...There are a lot of changes..

The crown guards are different

The lugs are fatter

It now has a Maxi Dial

the hands are fatter

The Glide lock Clasp

The numbers on the bezel are platinum PVD


... Then there are the things you can't see....

The integrated spring loaded pins that give the new design bezel it's familiar 120 clicks.

The movement contains the Parachrom hairspring

The bracelet is solid link all the way.

The new lume is Blue
