A movie cameo!

My wife and I went to see "Ford v Ferrari" yesterday—a very good movie about Ford, race car designer Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon) and driver Ken Miles (Christian Bale) trying to win at Le Mans in the mid-'60s. The guy at Ford who gets things going, at least in the movie, is Lee Iacocca, and though I got just a glimpse of it, I saw right away what watch he was wearing: an Accutron 214. And it makes perfect sense that the go-getter, forward-thinking guy at Ford would be wearing that watch at that time. 

1940s Midshipman Vs. Minute Man

Hi, guys.

For the life of me I can't tell these watches apart.  

Midshipman:

Minute Man:

At first I thought it was just the watch face but then I came across this Minute Man example:

I must be missing something.  These cases look identical to me.

Thanks,
