I suspect the difference is the crystal. No bevel on subject watch or the Sky King Linebook entry. I am wondering by dates if the Pelham replaced Sky King with a different style crystal. The bevel line distortion of the dial in Pelham linebook entry is pretty obvious. Watch is a 1952 which predates the pricelist dates of 53, 55, 58 for Pelham . Sky King is marked as discontinued as of 1955 linebook, presumably ceased model production in 1953, switching crystal and name.
I would surmise that there was limited numbers produced as Sky King and they were discounted to get rid of them in conjunction with the Pelham release?
