They're recorded as one model, with the caseback in each price's configuration. Both spec sheets: 42mm steel case, 11.5mm overall height, 52mm lug to lug, 22mm lugs, 95g on the strap, sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, 5 ATM, Super-LumiNova on the hour and minute hands, lumed polished hour indexes; ETA 2893-2 with 21 jewels, 42-hour power reserve, adjusted to +4 to +6 s/day. The exhibition listing adds Elaboré finish, rhodium plating, blued screws and a custom Côtes de Genève rotor, and a brushed main case section; the solid-back listing doesn't state a grade. Bracelet: polished and brushed or all polished, solid links with screws, deployant clasp. Not stated: steel grade, crown type, crystal shape, AR side.
