From what I can see from the lume shot, the dial looks a little busy.
I’m not a fan of Fortis sticking logos and badges all over the dials of limited edition watches. By all means put one on the caseback, but if you want to be treated as a legitimate aerospace instrument legibility and functionality should be the priority, not marketing.
Thanks for your first response. There was room for the logo because no subdial at the “6” position.
Damn I cannot wait for this watch to come out. @English_archer I think the logo is small enough that it's not really meant to be a "marketing" strategy but a tool used by the Austrian Space crew. Fortis has been a partner of Amadee for a very long time - I wish I owned the Amadee-18, that was one I regret not picking up.
Definitely onboard with a count-down bezel - the correct way for a timing bezel to work (if you ask me!)
