The present watch represents the first of the Tudor chronograph introduced in the 1970s . It is recognized by its bakelite or acrylic inserts and its grey dial with black registers . Tudor also upgraded their coding system in 1967 using 5 digits instead of 4 and the last digit identifies the case metal , in this case , ' 0 ' indicates steel . The present watch is a wonderful example of the Tudor Oysterdate Chronograph with 40 mm . case and a 14 mm . thickness , screw down pushers with milled design and its so-called ' Monte Carlotype ' dial , a nickname given as the dial represents the casino chips . The dial is also referred as a ' home-plate ' dial due to the dial design resembling a home plate in baseball .
