Whoa, did you get the dial separately? Or just do a swap?
I found this as a separate dial, and found a case and movement for it. there is one listed on C24 at the moment but you wont like the price.....

There you go, much improved.
Now Omega, you know what to do now ; make this one standard production and give me some % on turnover 😎 for prototyping.

I am curious how it was obtained by the original seller, but nothing indicated a watch was parted out. That member had sold obscure standalone dials several times before.

Most curious.

It is a standard production item that can be ordered , so not "exchange only". All you need is afriendly watchmaker.

This is why I love Omega. Rolex (and to be honest, most other brands) would never 😝

Well, Omega does not sell parts anymore, and Omega quailified watchmakers are not allowed to sell them separately either, just for service work on your watch, as that got out of hand with the WatchCo business etc, so now it is all "exchange only' But apperantly there are still some that do this as dials do show up from time to time. Lucky me with a Unicorn 😀



Apart from the DO90 It is very close to this 145.012 from Fratello.



There was also an even lighter/brighter grey - more metallic ? - dial with shorter markers, and Omega will hopefully consider making that dial like that again in a Pro case.

Do these 2024 FOIS models pop up often for sale? Looked but didn't see anything as of late.

Ugh I hate Chrono. Would much rather buy one here from a member.

You aren't likely to find a member selling one this soon, you'll need to go the dealer route, like @mdgrwl
