I suppose the movement could have been designed just a tad smaller, which would have left more room.

Not sure about that, mate! Look at the 15202 - had they done it that way I would be the first to say I’ll flip my 15400 for the 15500. Even the 15202 uses the thinner and longer hour markers like the 15400 that are more elegant.
I’m not in the know but based on the articles I’ve been reading, they designed the caliber for the 11.59 and shoved it in the RO. Not sure it was designed for the 15500 in mind.
