The older Aqua Terra's had an offset square for the date wheel which I always though looked very different.

Ochs und Junior is also an excellent example of a unique date display.

They at least tried to make it a little different. I actually liked that date window since it mirrored the angles used in the markers.

The average date has two digits - are they more suitable to a rectangle than a circle?

The cutouts are typically square because double digits present in a rectangular fashion, and can be cut off or hard to read with circular cutouts.
There are a lot of reasons I prefer no date watches, and this is one of them.

Suppose it is to fit the double digits.
Had a 6 o'clock vertical rectangle display once and it was awkward, the numbers could barely fit in it.
