I like the 4 o'clock configuration for date as well because it is easy to read at my normal wrist angle of viewing my watch.

You better get than lesion, to the right of your watch, looked at asap!! j/k Nce watch and great beer

 

More like a "4:30" position, but still one of my favorites!

 

Nokie, we're talking Crowns here, not Dates.

 

 

I have more but there you go .

 

SBGH255 is up there.

 

 

My Bulova is my favorite

 

For some reason I tend to like the look of a 4 o'clock crown. I've owned a couple Seikos with a 4 o'clock crown and this Seiko Sports 100 was one of my first watches. I owned it for decades and it ran like a quartz champ. However, the underside of the crystal started to haze and I decided to part with it. This is probably the one watch I wish I had back.

I only have an SKX and 5KX, but I really like the 4 o'clock crown too. I wish more of my other watches had it. I would have definitely liked the Mini Turtle better if it had a 4 o'clock crown instead of the unguarded 3 o'clock one that it has.

That Sports 100 is beautiful BTW. And I don't see the T2 much here (and never owned or seen a Sinn in person), but it would be my dream Sinn. They really ought to re-release it or something very close.

 

The T2 is a sleeper watch for sure. People are put off by the higher price and I think the stubby hour hand. But I think this was done on purpose since it's a mission timer, which usually highlights the minute hand.

Another plus of the 4 o'clock crown is that it doesn't dig into your wrist as much as a 3 o'clock hand.

 

I don't own one, but I really like the Sinn U1. All killer, no filler.

That is awesome! I wish my wrist could pull that off. Cheers!

 

I love watches with 4 o'clock crowns. Here's part of my Momentum collection...

 

Nice collection

 

They wear so comfortably.

T2 is my daily. Love it.

 

The crown on this vintage Seikomatic is a little tricky to manipulate, but oh so sleek.

The new SBGE line from GS is unreal Hard to pick between the green above or the blue.

 

 

Here is a 4:30. Wrong hands, wrong crown, but hey, you gotta start somewhere.

A few 4:00's here.

To answer the question, my fav is the Seiko 6309 diver. Might get a Turtle one day...
