    I think they need to add warning in cigarette box: warning will make your watch dial strong orange patina in 30 years :p

    How do you like this one?
    It need not necessarily be an Omega - This watch has the movement DNA for the Omega 33.3 chronographs inside...

    I have removed the bezel plus crystal to avoid reflections.
    enjoy

    And another I had a look at recently, boy it was bright.

    Bit of an oddball in the flesh, looked as if it was an orange dial developing patina ?

    Not a patina fan - only have a handful with significant patina - but here's one I've kept since it's not exactly easy to find with an original dial:
