SKX007 bezel insert

High confidence

Black 60-minute insert with a luminous pip. Interchangeable with SKX009, SKX013 and 5 Sports SRPD inserts, which is why an 'SKX009' can be an SKX007 with a red-and-blue insert fitted. The dial colour, which is not swapped so casually, is the more reliable identifier.
