PO 232.30.42 - different style boxes?

I am looking over a handful of Planet Ocean 232.30.42.21.01 and I'm noticing 2 different boxes.

A large wooden chest style box and a much smaller red leather box.

From what I can see on a few of the red leather boxes that include warranty cards, they are from ~2015, but I have not found a good enough image of a card from the wooden box.

Is the box any indication of the year, or is it something else I am missing?

Thanks!

Both are correct. Depends on what the dealer had in stock when it sold. In general the wooden box replaced the red box.

So safe to say the Wooden box is a later watch?

Not necessarily as there is overlap and an early watxh could have sat for awhile at an AD and got a later box.

I believe the wooden box was introduced circa 2015, but since it is up to the dealer to match watches with boxes at the point of sale, there were likely many watches sold from 2015-2017 that had the older red box as dealers got rid of stock.
