that it hardly ever rains in UK :-þ

It seems we're both afflicted with a similar pref: stark simplicity, with subtle contrasts beats-out the Swiss-knife with built-in tiniest-yet enriched-Pu reactor
to run the also-stored Library of Congress display and broadcast studio.

(Still run the 30+ yo *Seiko day-date whose dial is similarly uncluttered; its overall execution pales in comparison to this. It's way-too thick, for another demerit, though "thin" in-the-day)
Can even see that the minimalist timer functions, given the uncluttered max dial-area, would be used on occasion, and they don't destroy the umm, serenity?
Hey! maybe we gots a tad of cuth? (..or are just stubborn control-freaks.)

* ie the Bulova was it? you showed a while back, wherein they had refined basically the identical dial-layout, aka plagiarized Seiko's spot-on perspicuity.
(I never 'measured' that face via the Golden-mean ratios and such, but suspect..)
