I’ve seen some watch designs over the years that irritate me…
‘Aqua’ but only 3ATM…… basically means don’t wet it

My favourite:
Chronograph text on the dial when it's pretty obvious it is that (or other similar obvious remarks)

A lot (all ?) of the older Steinhart pilot watches have no stated water resistance at all, including one I own (luckily, it is sweat proof though) and the manual advises to put the watch in a pocket when it rains!

Thank goodness it has the word tachymeter on display too. I could forget how that's called when talking about it when nobody asked.

Update: new Steinhart pilot watches DO have water resistance stated on their ltd edition, models made for F-35 "Submarine" pilots......

Maybe it looks strange, but with a rotating gmt-bezel you dont need a gmt-hand...
No gmt-hand but gmt-bezel shows 2 timezones
No gmt-bezel but gmt-hand shows also 2 timezones
Gmt-hand and gmt-bezel shows 3 timezones
