In addition, its [[EPSA Super-Compressor\|Super Compressor]] case offered an inner rotating bezel to securely time any dive. The "Ski" part of its name reflected the popularity of this sport, just one year before the Winter Olympic Games at Grenoble (and the famous ski ads made by the French designer Roger Excoffon).
