It's different, but it's not for me.
It's known as a Cali (California) dial. I don't know the thinking behind it but it's quite widely used in watchmaking, particularly on Italian Navy and Radiomir watches (Panerai and it's homage counterparts).
Thanks - I didn't know that.

Seems we have to thank Rolex amongst others for the idea - but I still can't see the point of it.
