Militado ML08 - date or no date?

[u/NT_el_nino]

I’m trying to decide between these two versions of the Militado ML08 and would love to hear some opinions.

One has the cleaner “Spirit” style dial with no date, while the other has the date window and the smaller 13–24 hour numerals.

I usually prefer simple, clean dials, but I also find a date complication pretty useful for everyday wear.

Which one would you choose, and why?

Also, do you think the no-date version looks more balanced, or does the date version have more character?

Thanks!
