The Doppelchronograph reference 3713 pilot’s watch was produced between 1996 and 2005. It differs from its predecessor the reference 3711 in that it has a flat crystal instead of a domed one and SuperLuminova to the dial. However as you can see this example has still the tritium dial and is in fact one of the early transitional models.
