Produced over a long period and in very large numbers, and worn by Elvis Presley — which is why the name is known well beyond the collector market. Its long production is the authentication problem: dial styles, hand styles and movement grades all changed across the run, so a feature that is correct for one year is wrong for another, and the movement serial number is what settles which year is being examined.
Some specifications for this reference require verification against manufacturer documentation.
