There are examples of both styles ...
Hi Pete,
We could probably find plenty of examples of both styles, but just to demonstrate what I was referring to across several brands in both vintage and modern pieces, dress and sport chronographs, here are some images from the archives. Both designs have their place and I enjoy both. Actually the Daniel Roth Ref. 247 chronograph shows a nice alternative to both that works well to my eye.
And another great photo from your collection. Keep them coming!
Regards
Andrew

Follow up review of the stunning Aqua Terra GMT

A comment on the 1st picture........
Lol, while I was admiring my own pictures I noticed something about the first picture that I hope many of you did as well. Do you notice the superb quality of the double sided anti reflection coating of the sapphire crystal?????? Notice how the sapphire c...
Continuous seconds sub-dial
Hi Pete, Thanks for the wonderful photos. I agree with you that there is much to like about this Seamaster GMT. In fact your original post sparked enough interest for me to take a good look at one at the Omega Boutique. The only issue I had with the desig...
interesting observations but opinions differ on the matter
The seconds subdial of the AT GMT shares the same layout as the Rolex Daytona and the Speedy pro, which I believe are the standard for classic chronograph design. In classical terms, you're asking for a level of precision that is normally expected to be f...

A very persuasive argument Andrew, I'll give you that!
The examples you gave clearly show that full 60 second markers on a subdial can look very elegant indeed. You have thoroughly convinced me of that. I now think I overstated the case. I like the Blancpain and Breguet best. I also share your sentiment regar...
