Thomas Rick, you wondered:
"why would a unique model have been offered for this minor change?"
Marketing?
Sextants are similar to scientific instruments, but they're bought and sold like other consumer products. Manufacturers and re-sellers make (or made) money by creating marketable differences. This one goes to eleven, but it costs less. It's "Special". Just a thought... :)
