    Its a very nice looking watch - however, why does its say 5 atm on the front but then 100m water resistant on the back (which is 10 atm - or 9 atm depending if you want to allow surface as 1 atm)?

    I suspect that's because it's still being designed and so the draughtsman uses whatever is convenient. Once the design graphics are settled, then engineering and design aspects will be brought together and finalised.

    I think I'll remove the WR rating on the dial anyway.

    That will improve the symetry

    I like it a lot. The only doubt is about the day-date window, in the pic it looks to be a bit too close to the centre of the dial.

    Cheers,

    Is that because of the dial size maybe?

    I like it actually as it appears to be central between track and dial middle.

    The day/date window won't be there, just look at any other 40mm watch.
