As Steve says, it looks extremely legible. Very nice. :thumbup:

Nice one!
I've often looked at these, as love the clean look of it. Much prefer this to the larger Day/Date version.

^^^^ I like that Breitling :thumbup:
...and I don't have a Breitling in the collection mainly because I find them too busy but that's nice.

I also prefer just the date version of the Oris.
It's the standard Canvas/leather backed Oris strap with clasp - very comfortable.
It's a lovely grey dial albeit I was contemplating the blue dial version which is also very nice.
Legibility is excellent which is great with my ageing eyes.
