Maybe I'm over-analysing the latest media surrounding the Autavia but from the examples(s) seen for sale-it does seem there is more than one version....or have they not finalised the design still, which seems quite 'late in the day' and also a little risky, if the design changes from what a customer orders to what the receive. Take these images along with the Esquire version-
Aside from now 3 strap choices, the controversial sweep hand is different, the pushers-round or fluted? , the lugs-squared or curvy? the bezel inner-tramline on the BoR version (which I really like!)-even the date wheel font is different. (which implies it is still 'in development'.) One other point I picked up on, these are each described as
'This timepiece is part of the new Autavia Collection.' now that is interesting......
