PO Summer Blue dial imperfection

Hello Omega forum.
Merry Christmas to all of you!
I got the Summer Blue Planet Ocean for Christmas and I’m loving it! I just have a question which might sound weird since I’m a bit of OCD person. Sometimes and under certain lighting, I can see a tiny dot between the date window and applied marker. I was wondering if it’s normal and if it’s part of the vertical brush of the blue dial. Just to make sure.
Thank you

I don't see a dot. But after magnification I might see small lines to the left of the date window.

I would expect each dial to be slightly different.

Yes I expected that. Maybe that’s what’s unique about this watch, much like a bit like the Snoopy 45 back, each watch is different than the other.
So each dial is done differently on each PO

Sorry to stress on the issue, but it’s not something I should be worried about right?

Consider it a charming imperfection. Makes yours unique.

My understanding is these dials have fine particles of material added to them, and then are spun. centrifugal forces cause the color gradient. If you had a spot on your dial that was slightly lower, it could have caused some of the material to collect? Just a thought. The PO dial is vertically brushed though as opposed to the light hammering of the heritage dial, but none of these textured dials will be identical (which is why the brushed lines are sometimes darker and sometimes lighter on the PO, a cool effect)

I've looked at a couple different heritage dials and there's definitely variation in how the gradient forms and where it is visible. I don't think this would bother me BUT if it bothers you talk to Omega.

Also--- welcome to the summer blue club! It's beautiful.

Thank you for such a detailed explanation of the dial manufacturing process! Omega wouldn't have done it better; I know so because I previously contacted them to ask them about it and they just (politely) told me to show it to the boutique from where I bought it. But after your statement, I am relieved. It would have bothered me IF it was a defect on the dial, but since it's part of the process, it wouldn't. I'm that kind of OCD: inconsistencies can happen only if it's part of the journey. I am loving my Summer Blue every bit of it! that's coming from someone who also has Rolexes. The finish, dial, movement are all made in such perfection and art, it looks like the watch chose me when I bought it not the other way round just because it's something I should have in my collection (looking at some Rolex models). I have small wrists and it fits perfectly. Check some of the image I took for my PO. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
