There must be some history or reason that this style came about.
Thanks! :dude:


 

In the military and in the "pilot" world...........the precision reading of minutes, at a glance, is more important than the hour!

Note that the design of the Seiko "military/aviator" watch that pacifichrono posted the other day has the same basic dial design.   http://timetechtalk.com/forum2/3027.html
