I believe "Carthaginian" is the proper appellation for this kind of dial.

Has this (mixing Roman and Arabic numerals) been properly done by any watchmaker? I can imagine it looking good if pulled off well.
Rolex and Panerai have both done California dials:

There you go! Thanks for sharing. Wonder if there's something closer to the "Zenith" above though.

They where demo dials to show both fonts. Story is someone in CA liked them and ordered them that way.
