Diver question - Boutique white/blue

I haven't seen one of the white/blue diver's in person; can anyone describe the dial? Is it pure white or white/silver like the previous "white dial"?

I like the blue, but if it's a plain white dial, I feel like it's less versatile & more restricted to beach/pool/tropical settings. That would push me to the white/black, at a lower price point too.

Thanks!

It’s more white IMO.
It’s a really sweet piece but I felt like versatility was limited because it is quite beach and casual.

Thanks for the feedback! It appeared that way in pics & while I like the blue accents & dark hands, I'd rather compromise into a silver-ish dial that isn't as "restrictive" for occasion.

It’s a beautiful dial. The pattern doesn’t have as much depth as other models. But I’m ok with that as it’s already a busy dial. It’s a pure white. I do find it easier to read than a silver dial like the 15400. There is more contrast between the dial and the hands/markers. The blue seems to vary with light from a dark royal blue to a lighter blue. I find it to be very versatile, especially on the blue strap.

I much prefer the silver tone dial, the waffle pattern dosent look as pronounced on the new white diver for some reason

More on the whiter side. IMO kinda hard to justify a couple thousands for blue contrast.
