Help identifying this Angelus 217 Chronodato Military Dial

I’ve had this dial in my drawer for over 10 years. Bought it on eBay as original Angelus 217 dial because I liked the look and felt I might use it one day. But something really weird is that the date track is not on the outside. I cannot find another Chronodato anywhere that doesn’t have the date track on the outside. What actually is this dial? If it were a redial they surely would have copied an existing design and made the date print match the date hand pointer.
Also, there is no SWISS print and no ‘Chronodato’ below the Angelus logo.
I’m wondering if it is some sort of factory prototype? Would be grateful for any insight!

What makes it a military dial?
I just called it that because of the military style 1940’s sans serif fonts, I’m not sure if there’s a better name for this design language.

How about “standard chronograph dial, nothing special “
then there would be nothing in my description that differentiates it from the classical looking Chronodato dials that have applied markers and non military fonts.

Nothing designates this one as a military dial. I see no military markings. What are military fonts?


It is a bog standard dial.

Ok. Are you able to tell me anything about my bog standard dial?

It might well be a redial, but it still doesn’t explain why they opted to put the date track on the inside - that really has heightened my curiosity. Are there any Angelus knowledge buffs on the forum?
