PLEASE HELP!!!
Dear crunchers,
I came across this funky IWC and I could swear I have seen exactly the same design recently but I’m not sure where…
I’ve crunched my head, my internet history and I can’t for the life of me remember if that very design (safe for the hour hand) is a recent release from an established brand, something from their back catalog, something from a microbrand, all the way to something from China (I’ve got too broad a range 😅🙈)
Long story short, do you know of any other watches with practically identical design? Please let me know, this is killing me!!
PS. The movement shot does not correspond to the elusive watch that started all this but purely for your enjoyment 😉

Probably not the one you're thinking of, but this reminds me of the Vario 1918 Trench watch dues to the font style for the hour markers.
The Patek Phillipe Travel Time and the previous-generation Zenith Pilots use the same-or-similar typeface. The Patek even has the sub-seconds.
I should add that the watch that I saw too has the exact same bidirectional rotating bezel…
There's this Baltany trench watch and Retro Oyster homage
The Longines Majetec.

My tutima classic design is more likely similar. Coin edge vessel. The dial hands.
Oris is doing very similar stuff (cathedral hands and coin edge bezel) in their big crown collection.
Hanhart as well
Everybody thank you all so much for your inputs, but the answer came to me in a brick&mortar of all places… The misterious watch I had seen was in fact the Pilot Majetek, a new release from Longines and the funny thing is that in my blind search I did hang around their website for quite a while!! 🙈
Next I’m gonna start a petition for Swatch Group to chill it with the hype homages (not to take away from their merit, I just really don’t want to see a Breguet in pla… Bio Ceramic 😅) and up their online game.
