Beautiful watch! I love the Superocean.

It's been Hamilton for me for the past years - love their military reproductions (they produced the originals way back of course). Currently on rotation are - Frogman, Khaki Field Bronze and Khaki Pilot Pioneer Mechanical - all small-ish size, which much prefer.

Also have one Seiko "Baby Turtle" for any free-diving and surfing adventures

Simple Seiko for the last few days.

Switched to this Eterna for my late afternoon walk. Haven’t worn this is in a while. One of my personal favorites.

Random thoughts:

Seen many fabric-cuffed jackets whose cuffs were damaged by wristwatches having many snagging projections.

Smaller watches are less bulky/less damaging to jacket cuffs; also lighter on the wrist.

As one gets older, with eyes failing due to common and unavoidable presbyopia, the larger the hands and numerals on the watch comes into play. Your favorite watch worn up to late-'30's WILL be increasingly hard to read if it has small numerals and small hands. Plan ahead.

Both analogue dial and digital display watches can have Large and Small displays, the latter having so many additional very small-numerated/lettered displays as to be unusable for elderly folks without specific "cheaters" to make use of such features. Most often such specialized "cheaters" will be kept at home, while common "reading" cheaters, often caried, will not do for very fine stuff

Once you reach "a certain age" forget about being able to read the small Date/Day window. Not gonna happen without appropriate magnification "cheater' glasses.

Plan ahead for your next watch purchase. None of us are getting any younger.

Being a victims of this and having to give my Tags to my son and daughter I found that aiming for light hands on a dark face works best for visibility
Hence my faves mentioned above

The solution is quite simple, just purchase a Minute-Repeater next time.
