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! |

Now, my apologies for contributing to the side hustle. The topic at hand is the beautiful new FOIS. Congratulations to all of those who’ve landed one and to those who are waiting, I hope you land one soon |

Wait the new FOIS has a ceramic bezel? I thought it was aluminum bezel. Am I wrong? |

I think they were referring to the EW have a ceramic bezel, not the new FOIS. |

I wish they offered this watch with the same white lume they use on the SpeedyPro. A choice would have been nice.

It looks cloudy in a lot of these pics! Is that the domed crystal?

i love that they made a sapphire crystal that looks like hesalite, been hoping they'd do this for a long time. and of course, who could resist that sexy flat-link bracelet? only thing that I find a bit cheesy is that they went overboard with the patina on the indices. otherwise, killer watch.
