Will this be available?
and here it is brightened up a bit to show the digital display clearer

You are a bit of a Wrist-tease, aren't you?
Is this a multifunction quartz with backlight LCD? Something of a Breitling Aerospace?
Work started on this in 2007 but there were problems which would be difficult to overcome although I can't remember what the problems were now. I'll enquire whether it can now be made.

I'd hate screw down pushers on it, ignore what Richard says.

I'd forgotten it too, despite getting excited when I first saw it (was it really 13 years ago?!).
I'd love it if it comes to fruition.

I think going like hotcakes maybe appropriate.
its like a naval X-33
With the ETA E20.231? Is that still available? What other ana digi movements are available these days? Is it possible to get something closer to the current x33?
Orient did an interesting Ana - digi a few years ago, quite sought after second hand I believe.

Yes please, spotted it on the Facebook page yesterday, and immediately wanted one.

What movements do Tissot use in their T-Touch watches?
I had that Orient, a lovely watch and very accurate as I recall (no link between ana and digi). However it really bugged me that the lcd had no backlight and that was why I sold it. A major failing IMO.
How about the Miyota t241, as was used in the Boccia Tutima Bund?
Every watch a story.
It's a yes from me
It's not listed on their website but I just found this one

Apparently this chap has 137 NOS ETA's

Back in the day it was suggested to perhaps use these hands instead of the skeleton ones. What do the people think?

Alpine do a Analogue-Digital watch - I wonder if it would be possible to get hold of whatever movements they use? 🤔

It looks super sweet

I definitely be interested in an Ana-Digi Dreadnought.

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?

100% not my bag, but that’s the great thing about this hobby, one man’s meat is another man’s poison!
I still enjoy reading the thread and picking up on the excitement of those who are watching it develop.

Lug length a little long to me. Everything else looks v good. Would the lcd display be back lit?

Perhaps a more tachymeter style bezel would be more appropriate functional,

I like the tachymeter aesthetic also
Having looked at it again - I think you're right and its proportionate to the Baby Dreadnought. (Hence I think you meant to say Lug to Lug is 45mm and not 40mm which as Number 2 is suggesting - is probably case diameter?)
In respect of the tachymeter scale on the bezel - IMHO this is a dive watch infer the 'Dreadnought' family - and hence it should be left as per your current design - which is a classic 🙂
I think the hand shape and bezel style are Dreadnought DNA, and not to be changed.
I do think skeletons will make the digi readable, that minute hand could obscure a lot if it retains solid lume.
My google fu has failed me, can someone link us the spec for the Miyota T720 movement, so I can see what the spec is, in terms of function.
Thanks

It looks complicated

Thanks Eddie. That'll be why.
Great, a timer too.
Intended WR? 100m?
