A tribute to the Solar Eclipse edition of the space chronograph's mission to the sun, rebuilt as a standalone Wear OS watch face: a bright sunshine-yellow dial, a clean white tachymeter bezel printed in red, cream registers ringed in yellow, and an orange seconds hand sweeping over all of it.
THREE REGISTERS
This is a chronograph-STYLE tribute, not a working stopwatch. There is nothing to start and nothing to stop:
• At 6, on the register with a printed 60 scale: the running seconds, sweeping in step with the central seconds hand rather than ticking a second behind it
• At 10, on the 60 scale: the minutes. At 2, on the 12 scale: the hours. Both turning with the time like the main hands
CLASSIC OR DIAL
The face comes in two views:
• Classic: the whole watch, with the white TACHYMETRE bezel around the yellow dial
• Dial: a bezel-free view, zoomed so the printed dial runs right to the edge of the screen
ALWAYS-ON DISPLAY THAT STILL LOOKS LIKE THE WATCH
Most watch faces go nearly black in ambient mode and leave you two floating hands. This one keeps the watch on screen: the dial, the tachymeter scale, the markers and all three registers stay, dimmed right down to a warm glow, with the white hour and minute hands lit on top. What goes out is only what runs, because that is what costs battery: the sweeping seconds and the register hands. A yellow dial is one of the brightest there is, so it is dimmed further than its darker sisters, and the white hands still give you the time at a glance: measured at 12 per cent of full brightness against the 15 per cent Wear OS allows.
MORE
• Central hours and minutes with softly cast shadows, and no complications to fill in
• Standalone: no phone or companion app required
• Built with Watch Face Format for smooth performance and long battery life
NOTHING TO GRANT
You are not asked for any permission. The face carries no code of its own.
HOW TO CUSTOMIZE
Long-press your current watch face and tap Edit, or open it from the picker, then pick Classic or Dial.
COMPATIBILITY
Wear OS 5 and later, round displays. No blend modes are used, so it is not limited to 5.1 and runs on more Wear OS 5 devices.
Note for dual-chip watches (OnePlus Watch 3 and similar): their Power Saver mode only runs the manufacturer's own built-in faces, so any third-party face works in Smart mode only, and the watch warns you when you apply it.
