Meanwhile, the bicompax dial with a date window at 6:00 remains true to Mr. Heuer’s iconic chronograph design. Just as on the original, it notably lacks a running seconds function, prioritizing two totalizers and leaving dial real estate for sponsors and partnerships.
Team Ikuzawa’s logo fittingly occupies that reserved space just above 6:00. Like the Carrera logo below 12:00, it is printed in red on a flat rectangle, raised above the Clous de Paris-textured dial, which reminds me of certain 1980s Seiko 5 Sports references.

This uncommon dial layout comes courtesy of the TAG Heuer Caliber TH20-10 automatic movement. It features a column wheel, vertical clutch and bi-directional rotor, beats at 4Hz, and provides an impressive 80-hour power reserve.
The modestly finished movement is visible through a sapphire caseback with the Team Ikuzawa logo printed in red and the Bamford Watch Dept. logo printed in white.
