Icon15 AP Diver Calendar Font change

A while, I was more into Rolex and Pam but never forget what I had with AP 15300. I briefly had it for months then switched to diver world. Anyway, classic and contemporary timepiece was on my wrist somewhat making me to think, "is it suitable for me" all the times.

After few years back and with many trades and saving, I'm getting my new AP forged carbon diver in next few days... Feels like kid again. Naturally many folks will question me about why forged carbon over ceramic... Guess it's more personal taste over yellow and awesome marble texture of carbon diver over ceramic. Worn Ceramic diver in boutique and it's phenomenal, can't say it's bad. But still the first feeling I had with forged carbon at boutique about a year ago, still got me. Maybe impression I had from bumble bee kept me running... (but don't like chronograph in my own nature... never use the function, so why should I have it ^^)

Anyway, before getting new FC diver in next few days, I found interesting thing about calendar font among models. Even between two same FC diver, I found two different font used in calendar date.

As you can see, far right is new ceramic diver with different font. But also found this same font in far left. Middle is what I often find in many member's FC diver pictures. Mine is the same as middle one. Personally I like Serif font in the middle which making me to think great match with brand images and character (well, we all may have different opinion about this).

But wondering which one is the latest (one of reviewers in watch blog says san-serif version you can find in far left/right pic) and any history or background info about it.

Cheers!
