This latest release includes one new, limited-edition mechanical model and three similar quartz editions, each featuring the historical model?s recognizable, horizontally oriented ?surfboard? motif that stylistically brings together the watch?s two subdials and bestows it its nickname.

The mechanical model features a 38-mm steel case, with a red-and-blue bezel, and an off-white-and-blue dial with orange accents; the quartz editions use a 40.5-mm steel case and offer a red-and-blue bezel with white-and-blue dial; a red-and-black bezel with off-white-and-black dial; or an orange-and-blue bezel with off-white-and-blue dial. Each of the models includes pump-style chronograph pushers, a signed crown, and a vintage-style rotating bezel with a contrasting color on one of its quarters and topped with a small circle at the 60-minute position.

The watch with the mechanical movement features running seconds on its left and a 30-minute counter on its right, while the quartz editions are slightly different, hosting a 60-minute counter instead at the 3 o?cl...
