The other scenario that exists link in a less-than-perfect world is as such: Somewhere along the line someone found link out that the 3417 dial fits inside the 2509 and simply installed it for the same reason; ideologically, an "Amagnetic" dial works on an amagnetic watch. But Patek didn't make that link decision.

I can get the appeal if you're traveling to go diving and want one watch that covers all the bases, but you're still going to be spending far more time link out of water than under. So while the new S302 has sort link of bucked the trend of the Supermarine line (which is otherwise concerned link with diving), I can understand the logical decision to refocus the watch toward a new core function: a pure travel watch.
