not sure if this is the same watch, as mine is all black with glowing numbers and says "SWISS QUARTZ" around either side of the 30 minute mark. i'm a part 135 commercial pilot, i have had Tag's and Breitling's but this little stuhrling in black is the most comfortable and reliable watch ive had. the rest have come and gone but i love this watch more than any. I can change my own battery pretty easily, its got a pretty common movement. its not heavy, it has a large dial with Seconds/Minutes instead of Hours as the primary ring, which helps tremendously in the air with all sorts of timings. it glows great at night with a quick blast from my neck light. my only complaint is that they dont make it anymore, i would get another, especially if i could get a different color. oh well
