This 2025 Marine Nationale is spec-identical to the 2024 edition I catalogued elsewhere — same 42mm titanium case, same 200m rating, same navy dial and blue fabric strap, no date on either. That's worth naming plainly: when a yearly limited edition changes nothing measurable, the only real decision is which year's production number you want, not which watch performs better. Fixed spring bars, no-date dial, the full FXD minimalism carries over unchanged. On my scoring axes it's a tie with its immediate predecessor across every category — durability, legibility, water resistance — because nothing on the spec sheet moved between the two releases.
