Most of us agree that the word "AUTOMATIC" is redundant on a dial...

But now Hamilton thinks we need to know their new Khaki Pilot watch is "MECHANICAL" ๐Ÿ™„ ...  

I think it should say โ€˜watchโ€™ on the dial

Perhaps they should consider rebranding to simply "Schaumburg". We can see that it's a watch!

I noticed my new watch have no automatic on the watch

Itโ€™s a no date, i am happy that it is without it. I noticed that naked is great. Less is more, and i can not wait till i have a watch with only two hands.

Nothing can spoil a good looking watch

For example, this new IWC would look so much better with just "Timezoner" on the dial ...  

I concur, unnecessary dial text is a blight
