It was just for marketing purpose. IMO it does not add to the value

In the ad, it is written just under the watch the following: "The star under the dial identifies the Teddington Model as the wrist watch with the very same caliber model that achieved the best precision result registered so far in Teddington".

/me speaks Brazilian portuguese.

Maybe not maestro, but it’s hard to find an oversize example with a clean dial😉
