·Randomly came across this 1970s 176.002 in a colour I’ve never seen before. Has anyone come across it? Is it a genuine dial? Reminds me of the Ultraman in some ways, and made not too long after…
176.002 - anyone ever seen this?

·Never seen one with that color subdial or hands. The rest of the dial is legit, as are the shape of the hands. If they were painted after the fact, it’s a good job. A very interesting watch - hope someone knows something about it.

·I think someone has repainted the hands and the 24hr sub dial. I think it’s most apparent in the un-geometric shape of the sub dial’s indicator triangle, which looks wonky. Also the orange hands have a vermilion colour which isn’t typical of omega who generally use a more emergency orange or red for their hands… but the colour could be a result of the image’s colour correction. My bet would be artistic license not factory finish.
