Hey guys, 1st post :D

As the title suggests im after a chrono cockpit like the one below but without the numerals. I like the watch but with the numerals i cant help thinking it looks a little cluttered. Ive seen them 'around' but cant seem to find one now.

Does anyone know if they are still made without the numerals or perhaps where i can find one?

I've gotta go with the stick markers on this one.

Roman numerals are classy looking, but not on this particular example. The stick markers look much less cluttered.

Don't believe there is a Chrono Cockpit without the Romans... if you want a very similar watch get the older Chronomat (Pre-Evolution). It is the same size but the pushers are domed like the crown instead of cylindrical.

Thanks guys.

Im def seen the cockpit without numerals.

Infact in the picture section of the site (not the forum)

The cockpit has placers instead.

Im leaning towards to superocean in 2nd pic anyway :P

What does everyone think of that watch?? It will be my 1st, hoping to buy before price increase!!

lol good point, seeing as I put those images up :oops:

I know the diamond marker version of the watch doesn't have roman numerals, but not sure about the regular one.

I like the CSO more than the Cockpit... I really don't like the romans on the cockpit.

The Chrono Cockpit is nice, but at only 39mm it's fairly small. I looked at picking one up used in the area and the dial just seemed like it had too much on it for that size. Go for the CSO at 42mm, it looks much better.
