Clean Explorer II Macro Detail Comparison

The bar studs and printing show no visible differences to the naked eye, as a layer of black paint covers subtle polishing discrepancies. Viewed from the side of the bar studs, the Swiss-made version appears slightly more rounded. Font differences are negligible overall; however, the second-to-last orange letter ‘E’ exhibits a minor typographic variation—this stems from an authenticity issue with the genuine dial used for mold-making (see Fig. 8), as the original dial has long been decommissioned and scrapped. Frontal inspection reveals no discernible differences in hands’ three-dimensionality, tip sharpness, or luminous fill; the outdated ‘short-flat-convex’ criterion is no longer valid for authentication. On the side profile of the hands, the Swiss version shows more noticeable white paint overflow—yet Clean’s finishing here is comparatively cleaner. The bezel’s brushed finish on the Swiss version is marginally finer, while enamel (paint) filling shows no perceptible difference.
