if the omega is meant as a tribute to 1957, then, IMHO, references to the new modern movement should not be made on the dial. kind of mixes new and old in a strange way?
Interesting thought on the mention of the new caliber. It could be that they want to project an idea of strenghtening heritage, while still moving forward?

You do have a point that it seems to mix up old and new. Well, at least there are very few lines of text on the dial.
