Recoil_RobI agree. An angled - dialed " Driver " / Hacking Automatic would be Great ! I'd even consider a Straight Mechanical, if It had a "power reserve" of more than 36 hours. In either case, I'd also consider 42 - 44mm to be the Case Size " sweet spot". ( Verses 32.5 mm , being the Most common size ; in the U.S. Army Air Force WW II issued ' A- 10 ' ! ) While I Don't know the above Longines Pocket Watch Movement . I'm assuming a '3-hand', is What your hoping for. Would the 'Seagull' homage to the 'Unitas' ( a Mechanical), suit You ? But Perhaps, the Most desirable Benefit /Feature ... "complication", on ANY Mechanical or 'Automatic'; would be a "power reserve indicator".

They were huge, basically strap on pocket watches. The Longine pictured below, the "Avigation" is a $5K watch.
I started wearing my watch on the inside of my wrist because my dad did. It's a throwback, I still do it if the watch is small enough but most watches today are too large. I think a mid sized Maratac, perhaps with the red crown and movement, offset like the Longines to allow it to be worn inside the wrist would be a killer timepiece.
