Unfortunately the execution is a bit poor. The dial is really, really poorly designed. The seconds sub-dial is permanently obscured by the tails of seconds and 1/100s hand which are parked at the 12 position unless the chronograph is in use. The minutes hand extends past the minute markings on the dial and reaches the 1/100s dial. This is quite annoying both to read and set the time accurately. A better design would have been to dump the tachymeter and move the 1/100s dial out to the bezel. It feels like more effort was put into making this watch look good rather than be functional.
