A short while ago, @jerryct posted a funky Wyler Dynawind I had never seen before. I ran across the same model on an original bracelet a few days later and couldn’t pass it up. It was missing the seconds hand, the upper half of its split two-piece stem and its crown. I dropped it off at my WM and he had it back to me the next day. Although my WM had an appropriate seconds hand I chose to go without as I think the design is cleaner that way. I switched out the bracelet for a black strap as the bracelet was just a tad small. Circa 1969, powered by an ETA 2451. It’s been on my wrist the past few days...definitely a keeper.
Magnificient.
I agree that this dial design looks best sans second hand. A second hand would add nothing to its usefulness and be discordant while the hour and minute hands compliment to decorative touches perfectly.
My Midland has an ETA 2453 moment, this series of movement designs is great.
I adjusted mine to exactly +4 seconds per 24 hours. The adjustment is so delicate I couldn't get it any closer, but since its never varied from those four seconds per day I'm sure if I used patience I could get it down to a couple of seconds per week, perhaps less.
One thing I noticed is this watch has no noticeable positional error.
