and before anyone jumps in and says that Omega use the term pie-pan for these two-tone painted dome dials in the OVDB - what some Gen X, Z or A Omega employee added to the the data base doesn't change the fact that Omega didn't coin the term and an Omega 'pie pan' is generally accepted to be a watch with a distinct 12-sided faceted dial.

oh, woah! That isn't in the metal? Its just a difference in paint/texture? That is a neato effect!
the worst ones to sort out are the 168.004 dials.
there are genuine .004 pie pans dials as well as painted .004 'faked' trompe l'oeil 'pie pan' dials, made to look like a piepan dial.(by Omega)
there is a thread somewhere where a member reviewed both -both front and back of the dial and the 'fake' dials didn't have a crease where the pie pan facets should be.

Just because I'm wearing mine today 😀 I adore the sharp edges and the little cliff on a pie-pan:

Yep, there were some spirited discussions about this back in the day.

Now that dial is correct - and it has a nice case.
Not to rain on anyone’s parade but isn’t the M in Chronometer the wrong font even for a jumbo?

Jumbos have a wide range of dial font styles, including this one.
