So glad they centered the power reserve on this one. Makes it look so much better.

The brand logo is positioned at 6 o'clock, opposite to the PR indicator at 12 o'clock, creating a visually appealing and unconventional arrangement that enhances the overall striking symmetry pilot-field style of the watch.👍

TIL automatic watches also have power reserve indicators. It prompted me to do some quick research and apparently the first watch to have it was the Powermatic by JLC way back in 1948. Dayum.

Appreciate the insightful snippet, buddy. Quite intriguing.👆

Also, the dial does resemble as well with the first PR JLC powermatic history!

Simply my curiosity about power reserve indicators led me to conduct an experiment on the number of times I need to wind the watch before it is fully charged. I wanted to see how this process works in comparison to my other mechanical watches. Despite its complications and somewhat other's too picky for a clean dial display, I must say, in hands-on experience, it still proves to be a fun and fascinating innovation for the mechanical watch market.👍

Indeed. As far as mechanical complications go, the quirkier the better.

I suppose the power reserve indicator does bear resemblance to a pilot's plane gauge, indicating whether the fuel is at 'E' or 'F'. Looking at it again, my mind is blown every time I glance at this one I'm wearing. Could definitely serve a utilitarian purpose.

That would fit even better on aviator dials.
