    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.

    I've just been offered some ETA2830 for this watch, it's the forerunner of the 2836 and was used extensively in Bucherer chronometers and also by Eherhard.

    I'd be happy with an image of the Smiths speedometer dial that inspired the design on the case back, something like this...
