IWC has the same issues with this miniature movement.
The dial layout is ok in the 42 mm version though but see for yourself. They tried to optically correct the awkward position of the date window by adding facets to the aperture but it didn't really help imo.
The P.9010 would have been the better choice but obviously the P.900 costs Panerai a lot less, so instead of downsizing the 47 mm version, they simply blew up the 42 mm watch.
