Bespoke Dial, Made for Customer with Allergies

I'm only surprised that this watch was not listed as a "bespoke" dial, specially made for a customer who also had trouble with allergies . . . thus the strap.

Old style "Heuer" logo is also an interesting touch. Again, probably at the request of the customer.

: I don't quite see what they were getting at when they repainted the
: dial either. The 30 second register "starts" at 5,
: counts down to zero, but then starts again at 6-30. Can't have
: retrograde movement on that register, so it's a 5 second
: countdown I suppose but I don't recall seeing an original dial
: configured quite like that from any manufacturer. Perhaps that
: was the original reason for the redial, a request to have that
: dial layout. Not sure they would have been happy with the result
: mind...
