So is the beautiful new blue dial, a faux dial to be dismissed by many as a gimmick or is it cool as ….?

Here is also a good article explaining why Omega used this color for the lume: https://monochrome-watches.com/omega...-review-price/ |

Ummmm they said NOT to use fauxtina … Finally, the hands have been modelled after the 105.003, meaning that, unlike the CK2998, they have the classic white colour and baton design – this reference was the first to use the Professional hands, while the CK2998 had metallic Alpha hands. This also means a white central seconds hand with a diamond-shaped tip. In the same vein, the subsidiary hands are painted white. Finally, Omega has decided not to use “fauxtina” and to stick as close as possible to the original colour of tritium paint (when new at least). As such, the hands and hours indexes are filled with light-beige-coloured Super-LumiNova. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Ah my bad, you're right. I'm in a rush this morning and just did a quick glance and missed the "not." I need to read the whole article later when i have the time. Thanks! |
