Which WG Daytona dial is more readable?

[Nycturbovr6]

I say White

Panda is definitely easier to read but I absolutely love that black with the red accents.

prefer the white ,,, but pilots watches are black , thats not by mistake ,,,, still think batons would be better ,,, less clutter.

Both are easy. They don't have the shiny subdial rings that kill the readability of the SS 116520.

I can't speak for other Daytona variants, but the white-dial SS is simply hard to read in any light, espeically low light conditions, and I have no issues with my eyesight. Part of the problem is the busy dial with three sub-dials, which is part of the territory with any chrono and sometimes makes you briefly search for the main hands among the clutter. Another factor is the contrast of the shiny hands and white dial. Sometimes the hands contrast well with the dial and sometimes not, as it depends on how the ambient light hits them. I suspect the black dial variant wouldn't be any better. On the trio below the GMT is hands down the most visible in any light. In the photo, note that the light is hitting the Daytona main hands in such a way that the contrast is good, but this changes with the environment.
