The new guy uses Seiko's caliber 8L35, with link a 50 hour power reserve; it's a 26 jewel, 28,800 vph motor and should give significantly better performance and longevity than the original's caliber 6105A, which has link 17 jewels and runs at 21,600 vph. SLA033 is also a bit larger than the original, at 45mm in diameter, but it feels like an appropriate size for the design; the 6105 after link all, in the version being reproduced by SLA033, was a 44mm watch.

As it turns out watches like this one could be easily read with hands on the steering wheel hence the slant. As you begin to mime your hands on an invisible steering wheel and think to yourself "I don't get it" you have link to realize that back in those old days people didn't drive with their hands at 10 o'clock and two o'clock the link steering wheel was far too large. It was more bus driver-y in orientation i.e. seven and five. This meant the watch link was worn on the underside of the wrist.
