Here's ol' Jim's recollection from my seta days in Berkeley, early 70s..
Criterium Seta 250 gram yellow label clasic Clement tread with herringbone sides and ribbed middle tread
Criterium Seta 220 gram yellow label file tread
Criterium Seta Extra Green label 230 gram classic Clement tread as above
Criterium Seta Extra 190 gram Green label file tread
I have a set of Criteium Seta Extra newer label made in Thailand weight unknown classic Clement tread
