Your playing round looks to have come up with something interesting, from little acorns and all that.
Version B looks very interesting indeed
Version B please
Looks the mutt's nuts!
Intresting looking watch.
I would be intrested in either version but I prefer the bi-compax version.
Yep, either of those please.
On a related note when do you expect the have the auto version of the 40 available?
I'd be at the front of an orderly queue for either of those.

Another vote for B.
F.T.F.A.
Very interesting, I bought the PRS40 because I was very keen on the shape, place of the crown and angles in the case.
Will there be enough space on top to make room for decent sized pushers?
Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!
B for me.

I prefer the bi-compax as the tri fills out the dial too much for me.
Both look nice though.
I would be very interested by the Version B. I like the proportions, the dial is well balanced.

+1 for B here.
I think if you could find a quartz movement with centre seconds chrono that would be great. Subdials seem to contradict the simplicity of the case design.
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
I like the idea of a central hand chrono a lot!Originally Posted by seikopath
Does something like this help the readability on the current design?
It certainly does, fingerlicking good :)

Looks good. Version B I reckon.
Would the 251.262 fit?
Looking good. Personally B option would be my choice!

^^^ Good shout from Tony!
I agree.Version B but with plain round hour plots, I reckon. The additional batons on the plots make the dial look too busy.

Version B for me feels like there is something missing on Verizon A

Version B or Version A with date at "6"

No date, just like the PRS40, dial is busy enough as it is.

Playing around with the seeds sown by Dave...
Nice OCD, but lose the 'target' and make the little aeroplane thing orange please.Playing around with the seeds sown by Dave...
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
If it helps, with a 60 minute sub-dial for the chronograpph, the 1/2 hour hashes for the 12 hour sub-dial can also be removed.
This is an even cleaner design
Dave
ps - I know we all know what you mean Dave, but you surely mean a centre-minute and second chrono, not just a centre second one, which all chronos are.
Details, details. I got a C in maths 'o' level.
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Thats just what I was thinking. It has to have a date and move the crown somewhere else.
Not going to happen.

I'm not bothered about the date on this design.
The crown where it is is what fundamentally MAKES this design, so damn right, it should be non-negotiable.
Overall, these renderings show this chronograph version of the watch to bring the bullhead style (which was looking very dated and 70s) into the 21st century with aplomb.
If it's a mission timer style, I'll be buying one, without any doubt. Less keen, otherwise, on multi dialled versions that my ageing eyesight can't read. But it seems this is an opportunity to create something amazing.
Which part ?
Bullhead pushers maybe contrasting panda dial
If we're using UG terminology, that's a Uni-Compax and a Compax in the OP. They both look a bit busy to me.
Like these a lot. I agree that the plain round hour markers help make the dial look less busy.
Eddie
Looking forward to see how this progresses.

Looks good. Prefer the 3 dial version - version A / VK67. Was Version A actually Version B originally?
Eddie
Contrasting grey sub dials perfect choice
Not for me. I prefer the cleaner aesthetics (to me) of the all black dial, but I get that the grey sub dials are more legible.
I agree, though an alternative might be the inverse.
That's it (the VK67 version) for me.
Eddie
In terms of the lume, I may well be alone in this, but has blue (BGW9for instance) been ruled out?
Ditto I think blue lume would look great and version A for me too
This. Version A VK67.
Eddie
I am usually drawn to bicompax chronos, but here there seems to be just too much unoccupied real estate on the lower half of the dial with the 6 o'clock dial omitted. I had the same problem with the original PRS-40, much as I love the case and tried to like the watch, I just couldn't come to terms with the sparse dial. THIS however, really looks sharp.
You’re knocking them out of the park lately Eddie!
Cheers!
For what it is worth (nothing most likely), I don't see a great deal wrong with Eddie's original renders, including the presence of the lines on the hour markers which I think add a great deal of distinctiveness to the dial design. I would suggest that he would be well served ignoring every suggestion for tweakerage (except mine of course, which is not a suggestion to tweak but rather not to tweak!).Like these a lot. I agree that the plain round hour markers help make the dial look less busy.
Looking forward to see how this progresses.

Choosing between the Chrono and the auto is going to be a real struggle!
3 sub dials looks the best
I seem to be in the minority here, but, while I prefer the idea of it, I think there's too much on the dial with the three subdial design...
Surprised me really as most people ramble on about busy dials on Breitlings, while I find them fine, but this is (to my eye) a case of trying to squeeze too much into too little area.
I like the concept though.

This is the one for me. Keep it simple with the PRS40.
Simple designs stand the test of time too (pardon the pun!)
