24H Daytona

Based on the new patent we saw in an earlier thread where the underlying numbers in the sub-dial can change, rotate like a date-disc, thereby enabling measuring more minutes in the same minute dial without making readability worse.

That means in one minute dial we can measure one hour. The hour dial can then instead of being used to indicate half-hours be graded with 24 whole hours and voila.

Made an example how it can look here where first image is first 0-30 min and second is 30-60. Didn't do a 24h hour dial, put a date hand instead which is alternative use of the freed up space if you make a one-hour chronograph only.

Considering this Daytona is winner price for 24H Daytona it would be cool to make it 24H watch witch with this invention and adjusted movement is fully possible without changing the iconic design.

Under what pretense do you think that releasing ANOTHER steel GMT would make the the demand/supply issue better?

There is an article somewhere that puts the real world rating of the modern Milgauss at like ten times that, maybe I can find it later.

Sub already busy with 4 lines of text. Whereas it looks good on Explorer 1, I wouldn’t do this to the Sub

That would be great to read if you find it. I've been under the impression that it stayed at a "Mil". I would definitely believe that they increased it considering Omega are way past a Mil right now with a lot of their models.

new turn o graph

A 39mm explorer case with a very narrow Turn O Graph ceramic bezel and a very tasteful, simple dial in black, white,and silver. I see it as a modern interpretation of the early Turn O Graph from the 1950's. Beautiful! and easy to make out of existing parts (except the new ceramic bezel)

A non-chunky sport watch.
