Steel with black dial - and on a racing strap!

The second version I'd like to show comes in almost exactly the negative of the white watch: black (Ref.  329.32.44.51.01.001). OMEGA also reversed the colour patttern of the hands, with those for the time function in orange, differentiated from the white chronograph hands:



If you look closely, you'll notice that with this version they even got the functional differentiation consequently reflected in the colours (the small chronograph hands in the white version lack orange):



The egg-shell finish of the dial plate strongly reminds on engine paint, a very fitting association for a racing watch. One small fly in the ointment is that I think the wonderful contrast in finishing between the dial and the indices is less recognisible than with its white sibling.



One highlight here is the racing strap, made from black leather with a brightly red inner linen from rubber, which nicely shows through the perforation:



Altogether, a tempting option for more sporty occasions. And functionally I guess a tad bit superior to the white.





Best,
Magnus
