Tudor chrono bezel question

Hi all

Does anyone know why there is a slight variation on the tudor chrono bezel? Between the 5 & 6 o'clock postion on the bezel 130 seems to be missing on some. I thought it was to maybe seperate the Prince date from the Oyster date but the Oyster date's can have them missing as well.Anyone know why...?

Thanks in advance

Hmmm, your observation is correct. Just checked my 79260P (black bezel) and it is missing the 130 (although there is room for it)...

Could it relate to series? The watches you show as examples are a big block and the latest version (with 130), and the others are the last iteration of the sapphire crystal chronos (without 130) I did a quick review of my ref pictures and this was what I found.

Best,

A
