Re: Trident 38mm GMT
The difference in the window placement on the C60 Pro 600 38 and 42mm is due to the difference in case size. Both models are using the same movement so the dial has a smaller diameter. The COSC is using the SH21 which has a different date wheel placement than the ETA/Sellita movements. Look at the C9 5day in a 43mm case with a larger dial and you will see the difference.

Re: Trident 38mm GMT
I don't notice the difference in angles as much on the 10 or 12. Maybe it is the photo or my eyesight!Amor Vincit Omnia wrote:If the letters are meant to align with a radius, then the tops of the numbers will be further apart than the bottom, no? They all look that way to me. A spacing of 1 minute would put 6 deg of arc between the numbers.
Re: Trident 38mm GMT
I think it looks v good. It's a potential for me, though I have other watches higher up the wish list to tick off first. I too like the placement of the date on the 38mm case; perfectly positioned. Much neater than the date placement on my mk2 aviator, which seems stuck in no-man's land:
Re: Trident 38mm GMT
It 's not just the window’s dates in my view makes problems ( date and window are badly proportioned, too large for the 38mm)
but there is also the second hand which is slightly different , less well defined and less pretty..
I apologize , but my job requires me a lot of observation and attention to detail ... I work in biotechnology and I also design talents and thus with photoshop.
In my mind and in my humble opinion , the dates window should be black with white numbers and in a discrete window.

Re: Trident 38mm GMT
For me the watch is really beautiful and the 38mm size is fantastic.
But...
I don't like the missing number on the bezel (2 - 4 - 6), I think this is a clamorous mistake: the bezel or acts as a diver or as a gmt, both ... is a poultice !
I'm puzzled....

Re: Trident 38mm GMT
Not a mistake, it was intentional. The decision was made to go with the same bezel across the line and allow the GMT to have flexibility. Right or wrong in anyone's opinion, it makes it different to other GMT's out there.Sinbad wrote: But...
