Very balanced look in this pic, congrats.

This picture actually makes the dial look darker than it is, which is part of the appeal, the dial changes colour in different light, just wandering around I have the black look in that picture, bright blue in sunlight, steel grey in subdued lighting and silver or a light denim blue when indoors, spectacular.

That is a 4 for 1 deal with discount, couldn't get any better than that.👍

Congratulations on the new purchase.

this was my first Omega its such a gorgeous watch and the brushed finish also was so appealing. The dial feels rustic and its shaded colour variation brings subtle depth. Very underrated piece.

I have to agree, I had seen pictures of the watch and dismissed it as not overly appealing but seeing it the OB this afternoon and how it looked made me change my mind very quickly. I also get the feeling that it will be a bit of a strap monster so looking forward to experimenting at some point. And, you are so right it is very underrated, it certainly was by me.

Congrats OP - nice watch indeed. A bargain with the discount and I much prefer on these straps to the bracelet.

Gorgeous, I am kicking myself for not recognising the abilities of this watch earlier, but better late than never.

Didn't get to see the watch on the bracelet but did try the 60th version which didn't appeal at all. But this is a beauty and I love the look on a strap.

The bracelet on this is very different to the 60th, this Railmaster's bracelet is all brushed , I think thinner and slinky with a butterfly clasp. The 60th blinded and gave me a headache with the polished sheen.

The 60th dial, case, bezel and bracelet just didn't work for me, the SA showed me the watch and gave a good demo and when I looked at the two watches side by side the 60th looked small, I don't think the domed crystal used in the attempt at making the watch look vintage worked, at least in my eyes, others may disagree. I didn't check to see if the OB had the bracelet version of my watch, I simply wasn't interested, it was this combination that had attracted me and with the price I was asked to pay buying was a no brainer.

Looking forward to many years of happy ownership.
