·If we’re talking purely visually, I’d pick the chronofixe!
I’m not a fan of the Vixa bezel, the case of the Dodane is bit too simple and I prefer the dial of the chronofixe compared to the Airain 😀

·The lugs of the Dodane are often quite similar to that of the Chronofixe.
From https://www.classicwatch.com/dodane-type-21/1441
In the first post, the lugs look quite different (flatter and without a taper). I’d imagine there have been multiple variations.

·vixa for reason of the hands and layout from the numbers
also the caseback engravings - often we find "P" for Pechoin (than they made a watch revision
in paris in the Rue Cemin Gridaine - are a lovely detail

·I like the airain best. I think the type looks the best and I need that 12-hour bezel. It's my favorite type of bezel.

·Airain due to bezel font, minimal knurling, crown just work best in my eyes

I think its the opposite. The Vixa is more or less a Hanhart inhouse clone of the 1940s German WWII Pilot watches. The Breguet was issued in 1954, the same year as the Vixa btw.

·Another vote for the Vixa - love the knurled edges and, especially when comparing watches side by side, I always seem to prefer it visually when the sub-dials don’t obscure the numerals.

·Best of both worlds ? Auricoste type 20 with the Vixa handset
Not an oddity if you remember that military watchmakers did not bother with consistency as long as the handset fits the watch
To be fair, I like the Dodane a lot too…
… but in terms of pure design Vixa and Auricoste are way more sexy to my eyes.
My conclusion : I need to get a Vixa ASAP 😍
