Nice try but the date is now covered by the sleeve assume people that buy this watch wear it on the right hand. Back to the drafting table.

I just wish they put the green on the top half of the bezel. Stoked that they are offering some different stuff though.

Looks slightly better .

Normal orientation would have been perfect .

Covering it entirely with a sleeve would solve all the issues to be fair. It hurts my eyes.

Wouldn't they still need to move their sleeve to see the time?

Nope, if they did date on right side, folks with left hand and right hand both can wear it. Now it looks very odd.

For Pelagos, it was never an issue!

Wow, Tudor nailed it. That looks great.

The black represents the night hours.

brandrea · 31 March 2022, 02:31 AM

Would it look better on a normal GMT if the date were on the left?

FYI, the bezel rotates so you CAN put green at the top

alphadweller · 31 March 2022, 02:39 AM

Better. I'm right handed but could wear this on the left wrist. I always take the watch off to operate the crown anyway, so crown placement doesn't matter, might even be better to prevent it from digging against the hand.

Still ugly and a complete miss. The designer of this one should be fired.

On the Pepsi, what does the red represent?

Not much rhyme or reason in my opinion. They should have put green on top.

Well, sometimes you just want to take a quick peek of the date and if you wear the watch on the right hand under layers of long sleeves, it makes more sense to have the date at 9 o’clock.

danicasi2002 · 31 March 2022, 02:56 AM

Sure many would buy this just to flip it …. Because it is new.

alphadweller · 31 March 2022, 02:56 AM

There's also this possibility

Srct · 31 March 2022, 04:03 AM

Looks less upside down with the date on the right - still need time to get used to the look - maybe it’s just because the shape is so iconic - do like the bezel.

Black is night, blue/green/brown is day. BLRO breaks that trend because the watch was developed way back with Panam airline who’s colors were Blue and Red known as Pepsi.
