Well now, I disagree, I don't think it overpowers at all.  I think there was some thought of a theme here. The temp guage and the second markers above it clearly keep an "archway" kind of look. I agree the date is out of sync with that look. I think if you stuck the date at 12 or 6 then off set the crown to 4 and moved the crown for the bezel to 8 then you'd have a nicely balanced watch. But that's just me picking at nits. Over all, I like the watch and would by one if it was just a tiny bit smaller.
