I'm trying to make a semi comprehensive list of watch brands that make models with non-Roman/non-Arabic numerals. Can you guys help? This is what I have so far (not many!):

HMT (Hindi)
Vager Hauers (Chinese)
Zim Pobeda "Friendship" model (Chinese)

I found this Reddit post which seems promising but was wondering if we could fill it out more:

It mentions Cyrillic, Hebrews, Hebrew, Ottoman Turk numerals, but if you can think of any others that would be great. Another I've seen is binary.

Bonus points if your mentions are still easily purchasable nowadays!

Edit: seems someone beat me to this https://www.watchuseek.com/f71/watches-alternative-numeral-system-4444090.html

I love the Art Deco...

I don't know if it's, Non-Arabic/Non-Roman, so much as it is just different fonts. I love these and the many different iterations of it...
