cool looking watch. Is there any specific reason there is are pi symbols on the dial?

 

Yes

It’s a slide rule and pie is a number you need to do calc’s with circles.

 

Very cool. I may just have found a reason to get my youngest a watch (not this one). He is majoring in Mathematics (as well as Engineering Physics). Can he can use this to do his homework?

 

Always liked this design:

 

No.
Slide rules are analogue. Todays courses, exams & answers are expected to be done with digital technology. answers will not match perfectly if using a slide rule. It is good to learn how to use a slide rule though, I'm guessing they appeal to people like me/us, who like mechanical watches.

Slide rules can still provide quick estimates in the field.

 

Interesting now that I really look at it.

Telemeter, percentage of time, and a slide rule.

 

Does that make it a pre-Holy Grail grail?

 

Oh yes and Chuck is not forgotten.

 

Pi pan.

 

If my dad would have given me a mechanical watch with a slide rule back when I was studying to be an engineer, it would have been *such* a cool present. Go for it.

(As it happens, he gave me his vintage PloProf that he actually used for diving instead. I’ll cherish it forever).
