Unique case back, Chris

. Can you share what the index and numbers are for? Is it truly functional?

Hi Jeff, agree...the case back is unique on this one (and I always love stealing a peek at the beautiful Valjoux 7750 engine and nicely engraved Hamilton rotor on this one).

The index and numbers are functional if you are a pilot (but I would say not very practical to use in real life at all). The manual goes into a fair amount of detail on how you calculate crosswind with this timepiece. The index and numbers on the back are used in conjunction with calculated values from the rotating bezels on the front (The caseback graph denotes cross wind angles in degrees, the y-axis is crosswind component in mph, the left side denotes the headwind component in mph, and right side denotes the tailwind component in mph)....the detail on this goes on and on and, I have taken no effort to really understand how to do the calculations my friend...

...so functional, yes ....practical, definitely not happy.gif

That watch is certainly unusual and I find the huge sterile bezel is a very interesting focus point.

Thanks Graham! Yes the bezel stands out and I don't regret the fact that there is not numbers engraved insidewoohoo.gif

PRS3 LE for me again:)
have a great day. Cheers. B

I do like this one you have, its a lovely looking time piece and the hands are almost identical to the Artego.
Also I bet you do not have a bag to complement it.......

thanks! A beauty indeed!

Bag?? Well I do have a matching purse for each ofmy watch;)
