When I bought this from @seekingseaquest, he commented that the odd-numbered numerals on this GP Gyromatic were rare, if not unique.

I’ve been using online search engines but, so far, have not found any posting showing another watch with 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, & 11 numerals.

Obviously, plenty of 12, 3, 6, & 9, and quite a few 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 & 12.

I’m assuming that the vast store of knowledge that is the OF will have some other examples.

I have a 3, 6, 9 & 12. I’d like one like you’ve shown, and a 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 & 12. A nice little collection if someone is wondering how to make a nice set

Very interesting... Wonder if they have a nickname for this dial. Maybe you should start one... "Oddials"

I inadvertently started a similar thread: here's another for those interested, a little Cyma Triplex from the 1940s.

I did a google search and found a 24-hour watch with only odd numbers on the dial.

A Russian watch named Paketa or also Raketa.

More info about it here.
