 Apart from the fact that the watch looks good, something about the movement:

The watch uses the Seagull ST19 - basically a Venus 175. This movement comes in 3 variants:

ST1901 (aka Ty2901)
"The original" - small second at 9 and a 30 min totalizer at 3.

ST1902 (aka Ty2902)
3 counter variant, small seconds at 9 and a 30 min totalizer at 3. Another subdial at 6. This movement is used here.
But what is that subdial at 6? This is not a 12 hour totalizer as it appears to be. This is just another 12 hour indication always linked to the main hour hand. IMO completely useless.

ST1903 (aka Ty2903)
3 counter variant, small seconds at 9 and a 30 min totalizer at 3. But what's the subdial at 6 in this variant? It's a 24 h indication (not seperatley adjustable) linked to the main hour hand. The movement is either used for chronos with a 24 h indication at 6, or (more interesting) a day/night indication window at 6.
