Many thanks for this exhaustive (exhausting?) compendium!
Well-timed for me, having just written of my first mechanical purchase—Hamilton's Jazzmaster Regulator. Though by no means an elegant watch (I have long admired the Chronoswiss models), nonetheless I feel Hamilton is to be congratulated for having successfully marketed this nod to history. It's a solid piece of engineering with an enviably accurate and long proven movement at a very fair price. And I found its dial configuration in your encyclopedic entry! Your work is comprehensive, and an invaluable contribution for anyone interested in this horologic mainstay. As usual, you "hit it out of the park!"

Excellent question
I have put this thread here because I am the Seiko moderator. But I may move the thread out to Horological Meandering, as it applies to all types of watches. Would that be better for you? Mike
