The animation of the blades consists of just two images, your eyes trick you into thinking they are turning, if you look around the face clockwise it looks like they are turning clockwise and visa versa. You could backlight the areas of the dial in relation to the numbers which would allow them to be a contasting colour.
Thanks for the feedback!

I love the optical illusion created by the display under the fixed turbine.

Is the turbine alway turning the same way or switching side ? It would be nice if the color of the numbers was different than the turbine.

This design does seem to lend itself to various colour combinations and I could imagine a range of special editions. Yeah a bio-hazard version would be cool, could have black and yellow warning hatchings in places. So many possibilities.
If this design is chosen TF could have a poll/compeition where people submit colour/graphic designs for the finished watch! That would be sweet!
Thanks again for the feedback and comments!

It’s nice when you can show multiple possibility for the wristband paint job. I should have mentioned that I don’t like military airplane and NASA & this is why I would buy a plain version. On second thought, the hurricane version is nice. I love the crown positioning.

Two others ideas : a radioactive/biohazard symbols placed where the dot are on the F-ZERO version on a black wristband.

Im sure if TF produce this design they would do a plain version. The original Turbine was plain (single colour) which is why I did more variety this time around. I like both the simple colour combinations as well as the more complicated ones. Thanks for the feedback!

I would only buy if the wristband was a single color.
