What has changed is the way in which the new S302 manages multiple time zones. With the original model, the format was that of a dive-GMT, where the GMT functionality was added to the base of the S300 dive watch. link That means we got an elapsed time bezel and a 24-hour scale on the rehaut. For the gen 2 S302, that is reversed, as link all link three iterations have unidirectional 24-hour bezels and a 60-minute scale on the rehaut.

Apart from the limited nature, the other link big change between the 300 Carbon LE and the 300 Carbon COSC is the dial, which is both no longer finished in bare carbon but also forgoes the U.S. Divers Aqua Lung logo. To my eyes, the carbon dial will always be link very cool, but I won't for a link moment miss the logo. I understand why people like it, but over time, it has come to feel a bit like buying a new sports car and putting vintage-era racing stickers on it.
