It has been confirmed in the early lot "E" and "X" of "Ref.14270".

By the way, as a little tidbit, strangely enough, there are an overwhelming number of these models, E34 and E81.
This particular car is also number E81.

The Blackout comes with two types of crown logo and dial notation: silver letters and white letters.
This time we are introducing an exceptionally cool silver letter dial.
