I think it was because originally it sold for a reasonable price, around $700 (only 200 were made) and there were not too many choices for similar large divers using the same/similar case over the following years. Today, the watches available that use the Fricker made case similar (or identical to) the Dreadnought are the Kenzo Nautilus, Alphatime Sawfish, Jacques Etoile Atlantis, and Muhle Rasmus, so its more of a pick and choose which dial/bezel you prefer now rather than being limited to just the Dreadnaught.
