Cool idea and execution!
There's a good chance Subaru lawyers will be in touch.

I’m not selling this watch or attempting to pass it off as genuine Subaru product; I should be fine 😂
Ooh, I've always thought that the air king layout would make for a fun car dial based... uhm.. dial.

Funnily enough, the AirKing before the current one was realized in semi-collaboration with the Bloodhound SSC land speed record car. Not exactly a racecar or a “car” at all really but it is vehicle with wheels that goes fast on the ground.
How do you do those dials??

I do the design in Inkscape, then print it on water slide decal paper. After sealing the decals, I cut them out by hand and apply them to a lumed dial blank (I use a layer of glow in the dark vinyl to add the lume to the blank), then I seal again and once it’s dry it’s ready to go onto a movement.

Nice. Thanks. I’ll give it a try. How do you seal them?
