Omega Speedmaster Co-Axial Racing Dials Vote: White or Black?
Just to update the thread. I ended up buying the white dial and am very happy with my choice

It’s the cordura strap from the Dark Side of the Moon on deployant. I think it looks really good on this watch

What Wesley Snipes said.. Always bet on BLACK! The orange accents sends it over the top for the win!

This was a win-win situation, regardless to what you chose. After seeing the pictures of the Black version a member poster on page 1 it was more difficult for me to cast my vote.
That being said though, based on what's already in my collection and the desirability of a white dial Chronograph that has black accents / subdials is incredible and striking - I voted White dial. Sounds like the White dial was the correct choice for you, so I'm glad that's what you went with! Enjoy in good health! |

Congrats on the pickup, I really don’t think there was a wrong choice. I prefer this one in black by a hair, but since you already had it and moved on, white is probably the correct choice.

I really like the contrast of the white, but that’s because all that I own currently are black & blue dial watches.

They're both great. I feel I made the right choice with a sea of black dials already in my collection.

I feel the same way. Glad I'm getting to try the white dial. I've learned my lesson with this watch though, it's fantastic and I will keep it in the collection whether I stick with the white or eventually switch back to black

That was basically the tipping point in my decision. I really like the black surround on the sub-dials.

Congrats! You're gonna love it! It's a watch that I like more and more every day.

Both are good looking but the white looks more stunning.

Omega Speedmaster Co-Axial Racing Dials Vote: White or Black?
Quote:
Congrats! That looks amazing! My vote is for the white dial as well. Love the contrast. You did exactly what I imagined doing as well and adding that strap. Do you also have a DSOTM that you took that from, or did you procure one from Omega specifically for your Speedy Racing? Edit to add - this is exactly what I want to do with a new sapphire sandwich - buy it on the bracelet then get the nylon strap that only comes on the hesalite version.

I do not have the DSOTM but when I previously had the black racing dial I bought the black codura strap, black alligator and grey alligator (for the GSTOM) as well as a SS deployant clasp. I bought them from a member here on the forum and got a pretty good deal on all of them. I really like these 44.25 co-axial speedmasters but I find the bracelet to be a bit uncomfortable and it adds a lot of weight to the watch and I struggle to find the right fit. I really like the way these watches look on OEM straps from the various SOTM line

Ok, this thread has worn me down with the pictures and discussion. I already own the black dial version of this watch and have stated how much I like it. Yesterday I had the opportunity to pick up the Speedmaster Racing with the white dial. I got the bracelet, OEM leather and a NATO strap. I have not taken it off since then. A very cool watch and a nice addition to my collection. It is very easy to justify when my fellow enablers help.

I would like to add a moonphase (which was discussed in another thread) but i think the white and black racing dials are different enough that they can co-exist in a collection. Enjoy

I have the white, but now thinking maybe I should get the black too. Since I already own the bracelet, I can save a few bucks and buy it on a strap.

Go for it. I have both and they will get some good wrist time.
