boozedthis watch was discontinued as it was deemed old technology that was replaced. it is possible that they had a leftover inventory of movements and though to fabricate up a cheaper packaging and dial to sell them with. The old watch was really sharp had much more detail and quality numerals, it sold for 500-600.00 approximately. Mine is a lot nicer has better components and date box is not a simple cut out it is angled between the 4 and 5 numerals, the chronographs have more detail and look much more technical.

bgmdPresumably you're referring to the model below. If so, from the slight difference in subdial layout it looks like they've switched from an ETA movement to a Ronda movement. These movements are commodity items and there's nothing particularly special about them, nor has the ETA movement been discontinued because it is "old technology". Indeed, the ETA is slightly more advanced than the Ronda. It's far more likely that the one in this drop is simply a new model. Watchmakers aren't immune from the whims and vagaries of fashion, after all. If anything, the new one is more traditional.
If we want to be really pedantic, vintage infantry watches never had chronographs or date windows!

boozedYes you are correct, mine has a green dial looks very neat, but, I have seen them with a navy blue dial and this black face one here. I like the extra detail, it feels very solid on your wrist also.

bgmdThere's more than one Infantry Vintage model, and they change as years go by. Old stock is still available also in a lot of cases, they should have put up a part number though. If you type in Infantry Vintage Chrono into eBay or Google you will see a wide variety of models
