More pictures of the Blue Dial variant from Timeless Luxury, including a rendering with the steel bracelet option. I think a good option would be to get it with the steel bracelet and then buy a leather tan strap (aftermarket or Omega OEM).
I was all ready to pull the trigger on this one, based on the Topper instagram, when I thought the second hand was silvered but picking up reflections, but seeing that it is actually bronze colored has really curbed my enthusiasm for this model. I guess I'll reserve judgement until I can actually see it, but it just seems a bit unnecessary? Blue dials are already kind of an acquired taste, whacking a brown second hand in there seems to increase the possibility that the design it wont age well.
I think it adds a bit of warmth to the dial (another photo from Timeless), but 100% agree that similar to the other Railmasters we will need to see this version live before reserving final judgement...
On this sort of distressed leather strap (Worn and Wound) I think the seconds hand color will match OK...
I think it will definitely work on the right strap, I worry that it will look more out of place when on a bracelet
One of the appeals of the RM to me is the hefty WR which makes it a good all purpose watch, but swimming with the very beautiful leather strap you have pictured would not be a good idea...

I like it enough that it was my first Omega purchase - I've been wanting an Omega for 20+ years.
I feel pretty confident that the dial is not blue, but is in fact reflecting light to look blue. The Omega site only lists two variants as far as dial color. Black and Grey.

Nope it's blue. Unannounced (so far) model that various folk at Baselworld got a look at. Confirmed it's existence with the Tourbillon in SF. The denim strap in the photos is also not on the Omega site, and there is no variant with a brown second hand either.
Yeah, I just realized it was all new. That said, I don't get the denim vibe on this. I love the Black though.
Yeah the denim strap is kind of funky, and not in a good way. Remind me of denim pencil cases:
...So what people's views on the new Railmaster series?
