I think it's so you can tell at a glance what generation watch you are looking at.

They did a similar change series 1 to 2.

There are people for whom that matters.

The non-LTE variants of Series 3 do not have the red dot.

Right… so if you’re up for some conspicuous consumption, you better shell out for the more expensive model.

You are right the red dot might be the first time. The dial varies all over the map series 1, 2, 3, depending on finish and material.

I can't discern a pattern that isn't just dependent on the finish of the watch.
