Well,i am luck enough to be in a position of having handled all of Venturas watches over the past year, and can offer my personal opinion on the displays.
The original Ven_03 module used in the original Alpha ,Kappa,Sigma and Delta i found to be a designers dream,equal sized digits,equally spaced into a "block " of numbers.By switching off the seconds display ,like the newer display,the numbers are off set to the left.I personally dont like running seconds.
At a glance,with the running seconds on ,i found the display slightly "to much information",but as my eyes sight is not quite as sharp as they once were,this dosent help.
The contrast on all Venturas are amazing ,and indeed in bright light they improve further.
The ven_99 sparc module is very clear,with its large digits and very simple display,superb really.
In all ,i have to say ,now i feel the latest verson display is the best, (used in the Sparc MGS,Alpha 2 and Gamma models) with larger time display,and slightly smaller date etc,its easier to tell the time at a glance and is less "cluttered" which is a logical development from the original.The contrast on these are amazing.
The whole Ventura story is very interesting,and credit must go to the founder, Mr pierre Nobs for having the drive to bring these fabulous digital watch to us all.
Exclusive ,rare, and unique among all watches,they are the ultimate digital watch .
