[Question] Is this the worst design element decision of all time? (alien.top)

The Longines Master 40mm, an otherwise beautiful classic-looking piece, covers up some of the numeral 6 with the moonphase/date dial. The 42mm version notably does not.

No. The worst design element of all time is the multi date aperture.

"You mean today is the 17th? And yesterday is the 16th? And tomorrow is the 18th? No I don't believe you. Lies. Show me proof!"

Except, it's wrong 10 times a year. Even if it was a perpetual calendar, it would still show the upcoming date as 31th even if the clockwork skipped that date correctly. Likewise, the receding date will always be the 31st even if the prior month had 30 days.

Cut off numbers are much less distracting that this abomination of horology.

Agreed!
