Which 42mm Offshore Chrono model do you feel has the best legibility? As much as I love the ROO lineup I find that for the most part they are somewhat difficult to read at a quick glance; more fashion than function. I have owned a Rubberclad and a Black Themes and both were ok for legibility but not great.

I have a Diver (black dial) which is probably the most legible ROO model that A.P. makes but since I am shopping for a Chrono let's leave the Diver non-chrono out of this discussion.

Maybe the new 2014+ ceramic with black dial and red accents?

All of the 44m ROO's have great legibility.

Agreed but I am focused on the 42mm models only.

blue navy is the most legible imo

The navies

I agree on the Navy, BUT, the original is the best.

I find my Safari is very easy to read:

I would say safari or elephant.

Black/red IMO with the black dial and white numerals really pops.
