In keeping with the cleaner dial look that you are going for here, I would say you could even pull back the length of the darts (triangles) to about half the length that they are shown above. Looks very cool!

That does look nice. I still think the Moray would look better without a date though. it just kind of sits out there in no man's land IMO.

I understand, without date it is even cleaner, but the fact is that most want a date, I use it everyday as well when I am signing in at the gym. If we removed the date for a few people, most would ask why there is not a date window. maybe we can order a few dials without a date window, that could be an option when reserving.

I completely understand where you're coming from Steve. I suspect it bothers me more on my BRG because of the black on green. I'd probably be a lot less bothered by it on a black dial.

Steve, Does Benarus have a military style dial for any of the previous released models?

I really like the look of this and a bronze version of the Moray would be a fantastic alternative to a very expensive Anonimo Polluce. I do have a couple of comments and will also chime in on the "do date" debate. Personally, I would prefer a no-date option. For me, the orientation of the numbers in the image above is very distracting. I much prefer the orientation on the original Moray. But, ideally, would prefer the dial without a date. The second thing I'd like to bring up are the hands. To me, the silver hands detract from the case. I think that the case should be the focus of this watch and anything that stands out will be to the detriment of the overall design. Black hands might be better. Or, would bronze hands be a possibility to compliment the case? Finally, I agree on just a black dial. Coloured dials would draw attention from the case. Also, what combinations of bronze case and coloured dial will look good? Over time as the case changes colour? As an initial design...I like it. Also, to me, the price range is reasonable. A high quality movement (high grade 2824-2 or even a 2892) would add to the overall value.

I would agree with the use of an eta 2892 since it is the best they have to offer....don't really care if it has a date or not but would definetly like to see a nice milk chocolate dial...something new for Benarus as far as dial color and would look awesome in a bronze case imho...everyone has to remember that this case can be kept up with polishing and the patina kept under your control if preferred...

My suggestion for the hands would be a dark chrome plated hand like those found in the Anonimo Bronze Polluces. Please dont shoot me for asking the following (which might be considered blasphamy) but would it be possible to change the font type of the numbers? I've got 2 morays already and it would be a nice to have something different.

I'd stick with a matte steel on the hands - not a fan of black hands on a black dial. A different font is a thought. Italics maybe?

I think choosing black or steel hands will be an option. The logo font will not change.
