Heritage Model - Stain?? on Sandwich Dial

Dean 75 · Sep 23, 2023

Hello

I recently purchased Speedmaster '57 2022 Model. I found black stain?? (something like tiny black dot) on my sandwich dial (i.e. the part brown color dial appears from layers below). For my watch, I found it on the position of 40 minutes and 55 minutes. I went back to Omega shop to point this out, but I was told that this is due to vintage effect and it could be found randomly on Heritage Models which have similar design.

Does anyone face similar issue? I just would like to make sure it is really the case that it's normal to have black dot on sandwich dial for Heritage Model.

Thanks.

Can you post a picture? Is this on the lume? Or on the dial itself?

There is a significant amount of variation in the aged, yellow/brown portion of the sandwich dial. You may want to go to a site like Chrono24 where you can look at 10-20 pictures of the same watch and see where your patination falls. Similar to your other question on hand alignment, this is not an area where you will find perfection. And if it matters enough you can try to see if your AD or Omega will help you out, but there really is tremendous variability in the finish, including dark brown or black speckles if you look around.
