I had thought they did some new faces inc a cream one ?
They do. The original green is from the Alpinist line. The green was the OG I believe, uses the 6R15 movement, but they did do a cream variant at some point in the 14 year run, and a blue version late in production which was possibly a Hodinkee thing. They were £300 watches.
They killed the whole line off a few years ago but then merged it in to Proxpex and re-released it earlier this year. The new one has a date cyclops and comes in a few different variants with a see through case back.
Spendier at £650.
Does it actually work as a compass?
If you know the time and position of the sun you can set the direction with it, so yes I guess.
