2446 Jochen Rindt *PIC*

I just got this 2446 "Jochen Rindt" from the original owner who bought it new in the shop in 1968, Serial: 95XXX
I m not very experienced with these watches.
I think you would describe it as 3rd. execution? Correct?
I noticed that the central chronograph hand looks different to most other watches - but I m sure it is old - do you think it was an early replace?
Watch has a beautiful and authentic patina with a faded bezel turning into a light blue depending on the kind of light.
Luminous is original on dial and hands still lightly glowing under black light.
One of the push buttons should be replaced - are they available - thank you for any advice!
I guess the chance to find a second insert for the bezel is like zero?
Thank you for your comments, have a nice sunday
