Is this dial too busy?
Who finds this dial too busy? I don't think it is.

The Omega dial is quite busy but definitely not too much so.

Still looks like it would be quite easy to tell the time so it's OK with me.

The beveling on the outside of the bezel detracts from the circularity of the watch.
Incongrues to my eye |

I love chronos and sometimes they can be a little busy. But the Omega, with the large hands looks great. Very easy to read.

Fairly easy on the eyes. I like the watch and have looked at them before. I still can't come up with one justification to get a Chronograph though even though I do like them. Probably find a use or two if I owned one, but for now I come up empty. Omega makes a great watch and after a handfull of Rolex' Omega will probably be my next piece.

I don't think that the dial is busy, but if I should mention ONE thing that I don't like, then it is the hands that are too large (broad) for my taste. They cover the subdials too much.

That just proves everyone has there own tastes. That is the reason I like it. I think the larger hands make it a watch first and a chronograph second, not equals in both. This watch is now 3rd on my drool list

I think it looks great! I'm a big fan of gladiator hands.

That Omega is a beatiful chrono. I love the sword hands, but I can appreciate thinner hands on a chrono, as on my Seiko 7a28.

I believe a couple of years back, Omega sponsored the America's Cup event (sail racing I think). After that, they stopped it due to licensing issues.
