That really does look good. If the yellow deeper like amber it might help legibility of the hand on that sub-dial. But that splash of colour and the overall look together looks spot on to me.

Love the way the day/night indicator looks, if you want a less obvious but still colourful contrast, perhaps light blue/navy, or sand/brown (root-beer inspired)?
I like it.
But I love most chronos!
I still need a PRS 5 though.

Here it is with amber (Pantone 3514CP).

Agree^, amber looks stunning
Of all the colours I prefer the the Amber by some way

Amber is much nicer. It also provides much better contrast with the white hand.
I'd love to see a red central seconds hand, but i realise that might be a bit too far for some people.
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
It looks very good. The only thing that could keep me from buying it is the dimensions. Something like 40/41x47/48 would make i perfect, especially on the bracelet. I feel that it would be more refined in a smaller case..

I really like the amber colour... less jarring that the white and nice to have a splash of colour. I always wonder why the night indicator isn't lumed, to help reading that dial at night?
I think the amber looks good but instead of a red central I’d highlight the amber via the tip of or the counter /back end of the second hand. I’m not sure what it’s called but this should be clear enough.
Maybe I don’t know but I think the colour should be someplace else on the watch to pull it all together.

Amber looks perfect, as does the rest of the watch. I’ve started saving.
Apologies for the noobism.. I never considered a Precista, but I have to say, this concept looks Fantastic!! I’ll also do some research on the movement as I’ve never heard of it, thank you!

If the yellow on the 24-hour subdial is supposed to represent daytime ...then shouldn’t it be on the left side of the dial?
As it stands it is black (dark) from noon to midnight...

Oh, haha, yes - with all my thinking about appropriate colours I'd missed that. Would presumably be horizontal from 6 to 18?
Edit: returning to look at the Flightmaster, it had the indicator coloured the same way as the current drawing. I presume it depends how you split the day into halves, following the numbers or the daylight. Do think that from 6 to 18 would make more sense myself, but then Eddie may well disagree - perhaps on grounds of aesthetics?

Any chance lume can be added to the seconds hand(s)?
You can either have it as a AM/PM indicator (0 - 12 and 12-24) or day/night (6-18 and 18-6) depending how you print the subdial and apply the hand.

Sapphire bezel
Sapphire crystal
Amber subdial
42mm Case
Bracelet
All sounds perfect to me. I even like the idea of aged lume.
Personally I prefer the first images. I know the day/night indicator can add a bit of diversity and colour but really they're pointless; I always know whether it's day-time or night-time. For me it doesn't pass the 'so-what?' question:
Admirer - "that's a nice looking watch, what does the coloured section represent"
Wearer - "it tells me whether it's day-time or night-time."
Admirer - "do you often have trouble understanding the difference?"
Wearer - "er, no. Actually it is a bit pointless isn't it"
It's how I would feel anyway.
id love to see a touch of red on there .
maybe on the subdial hands?
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Have you a rough indication on pricing, Eddie?
Definitely drawn to this one, the amber sub dial certainly adds something and I like both the new clasp designs.
Have to say the day/night dial is a deal-breaker for me whatever the colour. It was just fine without.
As Dave says a splash of red, perhaps on the subdial hands even as tips to the hands (perhaps including the second hand) might work, but the iteration prior to the day/night dial looked great to me.

A quick and dirty phone pic of the prototype from the manufacturer. I should have the prototype next week and will post more pics.

Very nice, although I am not in the market for a chrono, but I especially like the bezel, very Blancpain 50 Fathoms.
Lovely. But may i ask why the day/night quadrant is illuminating midnight to midday, rather than the more usual 6 am to 6pm?
The counterpoise on the second hand looks a tad large too.....
Dave
That looks incredibly smart

Indeed. It’s a chronograph, not a GMT.
