“The thickness of these lines pass off as vintage dials that would have incorporated a raised enamel giving off an actual galvanized look. Nevertheless, the illusionary appearance from a combination of brushing, calculated spacing, and bold lines are spectacularly executed.

Only recently have I begun to closely examine the kerning, sizes, and font on dials. This one provides a lot to admire. The dial includes a tachymeter scale, which is most often used for measuring speed (and in some cases distance based on speed). The earliest ones were printed on the dial itself, while later they were incorporated onto the bezels of many sport watches. I’ll admit, I don’t anticipate using the tachymeter anytime soon, but the legibility is extremely clean. This is one of the areas where the minor details can drastically affect the overall aesthetic. While it likely gets overshadowed by the more discernible details, it is an integral factor of why it is worth celebrating.”
