Icon20 Was the 15550 White Dial the shortest produced 50th anniversary model?

Just a general question here. For some reason I remember the 15550 37mm white dial being removed from the website months before the others. Can anyone confirm this? Do you have anymore details as to why as well?

Just seemed odd only that combo was removed.

Thanks

It was removed after the 50th year was over. So yes it was the shortest produced 15550st but production time in terms of 50th was same as the other colors.

It seems the white dial is now reserved for the two tone. It’s a strange strategy, I personally love the white dial on steel. One of the best light dials ever on a watch.

Same for the 26240CE ROC, which was only introduced in late summer.
