I am relatively new to luxury watches. Is having no date considered to be more pure or traditional? I usually like having the date on my watches, but clearly it is not a deal breaker for me.
Don't listen to Nico, he has a phobia when it comes to date windows :D

more seriously, a date window often disturbs the symmetry of a dial, especially on a Chronograph. It's a matter of taste and Marketing tells us that the big majority wants to have a date, so all is fine
I don't like when the date makes a hole in the dial. It must be well thought, well located and big date even better... If we cannot avoid it. An example of a nice date: The Datograph.

Why? It is part of the idea behind the watch. Best, Nicolas
Yeah, I agree Nico. Sometimes placement of the date looks awkward. I also have this watch, I really like how the calendar is displayed on this piece. Flows with the overall look of the watch, IMO.
Hi Drew, thank you so much for posting. The watch looks fantastic on your wrist! Always wear it in the best of health and with much success and happiness! Kind regards, Alex
I own one too and love it as a dress chronograph. No date, a balanced dial, six blued hands, and sensibly sized at 38mm (though it wears like a 39mm). And very fairly priced too.
