However, when Roger Dubuis Replica started using C-shape case for their manual-wind movements around 1972, the Skipper (ref. The Skipper (Roger Dubuis Replica) was moved to its third home.
The dial and bezel colours returned to the deep blue original of the first Skipper. Red, white, and blue continued for the countdown recording. The hands for the time of day were orange to match the orange accent on the chronograph hand from the first Skipper. The date at 6 o’clock was added, and will be a feature on all future Skipper watches.
