Are there any skeleton / open heart watches in the £2K-£5K range that look really good?

I like the idea of a skeleton dial/movement, but they can be hard to read. And I tend to find open heart a bit cheesy looking. What is out there that is legible and looks great?

I like them too, but I only have 1 and I rarely wear it.

There is an Oris Propilot skeleton which I have tried on, that is relatively legible for a skeleton.

Ooh, that's the nicest Oris I've seen, expensive though!

I imagine deals to be done.

Just had a look but I can't find a picture of the one I tried.

I really like the seat belt clasp they use on them too.

Rado do a few, they are a little on the odd side. https://www.rado.com/en_gb/skeleton-watches.html
They had a few nicer ones a while ago that seem to have been discontinued.

Hamilton also do a few. I fancied one a few years back, but actually went with the Hamilton Jazzmaster Open Heart. Sort of semi-skeleton.

I have to confess I don't wear it that much these days.
