Thoughts on Type B dial?

anyone have a watch like this, with the type b dial ( large minute numbers instead of hour numbers). What are your thoughts on it?

As most historically inspired aviation watches they tend to be quite big with a lot of presence on the wrist. If you are okay with that, then these are fantastic pieces of design

I’ve heard they tend to be larger watches  because originally they were worn outside the leather flight jacket. Which makes sense. This is still in my sweet spot for size.

The Seiko SNK800 series did this. I never knew it had a name.

Yes, I am a fan of this set up.

I love them both. They  look awesome.

I love how that dial looks, it attracted me instantly to that watch. Unfortunately when i tried it on at the store it was too big for my wrist but i did get a different Citizen aviator that love so it all worked out.

I find it to be a cool alternative to the standard.

Almost 80 years later most watch brands has some sort of Flieger B interpretation. This style refuses to go away.

I like my SNK809:
