Why put a date window?

Omega needs to make this watch publicly available 👍

I know they make this one, but I’m not a fan of the case/bezel combination. And the newer all blacked out version isn’t for me.

I was tempted to impulse another ladies Tissot seastar. Then I noticed the date window. Saved some pennies.

30 years ago I did collect automatic and date watches, as It seemed these complications would make the watches more desirable. Now I find the date rings and lifting pin are often worn and can jam the watch. The automatic rotors often have wear.

Curiously I am finding simple sweep three handers to be the most attractive. Especially when collecting rat watches at the lowest price possible.

Still I am a sucker for triple calendar moon phase watches. And of course Landeron parts. Even the vaporware valjoux part.

Now if only I could find a broken 2521.81 for $19.99USD -- that is the ultimate date window.

I never thought I wanted or needed a date window but after getting a watch that had one, I was surprised at how handy it is to have those one or two digits there on my wrist. I agree with the general assessment about these Seikos, though. Better to have no date window at all than have it kludged in somewhere dumb.
