A watch that is always readable, even if you can no longer read it

Watches are generally designed to work even if they are damaged by a shock (anti-shock device or even G-shock), or if the ambient conditions deteriorate (luminescent paint to go down deep, away from the sun's rays), but they do not anticipate that the owner's abilities will diminish. Now whether it is the Raketa Big Zero or this tactile watch, they anticipate the case where the owner's eyesight deteriorates significantly, or even disappears completely. This watch, the Raketa Braille, or Raketa for the blind, therefore has a glass that can be opened, like a washing machine by pressing the button on the crown and tactile indexes, 12,3,6 and 9 being doubled indexes to help you find your way around. There are, however, numbers and a railroad in black on a cream background, for the sighted. So it is not a watch reserved for the blind, but is perfectly suited to those who are afraid of becoming blind, or those who sometimes have their eyes occupied elsewhere and are not against a tactile experience. I appreciate its readability although it is small (34mm). It has a chrome case and a 2601 movement. The musician Ray Charles wore one, there were probably few tactile watches on the market at that time, the watch was released in 1966. (https://youtu.be/8uhsJMmdKFg?si=AiseBf5-YJdpuW5k). Obviously with such a music monster as its illustrious owner, this model can only make you dream. Adjective: accessible, respectful, inclusive, musical, magical, tactile, readable, clever,
