Very nice, Chip....beauty. Just noticed that there's no luminova on the long minute hand except on the arrowhead!! Wonder why?

SLRdude · 10 March 2006, 05:23 PM

My guess would be... the shape of the minute hand.
If they would have put luminova on the hand, the difference in the luminova length between the hour and minute hand would be pretty small, and therefore harder to tell time at a clance.
This way you know. the stick is the hour and the arrow hovering over the minute chapter are your minutes.

Thanks, Chip....I had an AT once - not a Chrono, just the Automatic COSC certified one in 41 mm with that same gorgeous BLACK dial. I remember the watch giving the impression of being a lot of dial and very little bezel.

With pic's like that it's easy to see why

Very nice Chip the black dial is making me smile more,but for me the white dial is my favourite,its got to be those blue hands.

I can see why from those pics, Chip. Beautiful, once again.

Very nice shots indeed Chip. I was admiring the white dial version of that same watch earlier this week.
