    Congratulations! I must admit, it is kinda cool. Plus, a new watch is always exciting, whatever it is. I still don't think I could pull off rocking it though, but a nato will certainly help tone down the Saturday Night Fever vibe a bit. Anyway, the conclusion is that you fall into the massive pair category ;)

    This Red & White Nato matches the watch pretty well IMO :thumbsup:

    Pretty cool on the nato. I saw it one in the flesh, and it does look plasticky.

    I wouldn't kick one out of bed for eating crackers. But I wouldn't pay more for one than a regular Speedy either. I am pretty sure the first thing I would do would be to take off the white strap. Needs contrast. Overall it is really low on my list of wanted watches, but still ranks higher than a Daytona.

    Don't really like it all white, but gotta say... the NATO makes it look a lot better. Please share some pictures once you have it on hand with the NATO. :thumbsup:

    Is that a real watch that Omega is issuing?

    Arrived today! I’ve not received the Nato straps yet, but once they’ve arrived and I get them fitter I’ll add a few more pics.

    I must say that the box is stunning (compared to usual omega box) high Gloss white. I’m sure surprised Omega don’t make more use of that design. It sets the watches off great. My black and white Speedmaster racing looked great in that box!

    Am I seeing it correctly that the minute hand is black, while the others are blue? And the chrono hands are different as well? I didn't look very closely when I saw the watch at the OB, but I think its looks great in that sun shot! Agree with you putting that on a NATO. I really think you could literally do ANY NATO strap with that, and it would look good! Congrats!

    That kicks ass! Would love to see it on a light grey suede or something comparable.

    Very nice photo - I audibly went, "oh wow". I didn't expect to see blue hands, but it adds much more character to it.

    Also, congratulations on the new watch. A wee bit jealous now that I see your picture.

    All the hands a polished white gold. No colours except for tip of chrono running seconds. The colouration you’re seeing is I suspect a combination of colour correction applied to the photo (to remove the colour cast that was ok the white case and dial from the bright sunlight) and the reflection of the blue sky/building behind me in the hands which are highly reflective.

    Next to a Speedy racing for comparison.

    “It's like, 'how much more white could this be?' and the answer is ‘None. None more white.’”
