always coveted this dial, and lucky enough to land it.
it's definitely not a straight white dial. has more of a slight off-white pearlesence, possibly more like opaline.

mated with the hesalite, the combo emanates a certain warmth and distinguished sensibility.

love the applied markers and omega symbol... such a lovely touch.

Beautiful

indexmatch · 7 July 2018, 01:14 AM

wow, that looks fantastic, congrats!

ArtNouveau · 7 July 2018, 01:26 AM

Have had minefor several months now, it’s a showstopper. Congrats. Did you buy it already done, or have a watch converted?

AEC · 7 July 2018, 05:37 AM

Fantastic! Congratulations.

arcadelt · 7 July 2018, 08:02 AM

Original or re-dial?

tonupbklyn · 7 July 2018, 08:17 AM

not original

texasmade · 7 July 2018, 08:38 AM

Snoopy strap?

sensui · 7 July 2018, 09:18 AM

and a mitsu dial and complete set of matching hands very recently sold on fleabay for over 1K USD, so feel lucky to have gotten the entire watch for a great price!

Urosfan · 7 July 2018, 10:50 AM

Congrats

Bengal fan · 7 July 2018, 11:01 AM

Wonderful watch, Congrats!

tonupbklyn · 8 July 2018, 10:49 AM

the dial pearlesence....

Chester01 · 8 July 2018, 11:21 AM

Wow, spectacular. Great strap too. Enjoy

DHISTORY · 9 July 2018, 01:35 AM

Congrats OP.
For my next Omega, this would be the perfect one!

Stevec14 · 9 July 2018, 03:46 AM

That looks awesome. Congrats

KBM · 9 July 2018, 04:25 AM

Beautiful. And that strap looks like it was made for the watch. Very cool.

FireMonk3y · 10 July 2018, 09:04 AM

Beautiful watch. I've had a mitsukoshi dial and hand set sitting in my watch box for a couple years, might have to get it installed at some point. Would look perfect sitting next to a Speedy Tuesday.

What reference is that?

I think it's a regular hesalite Speedmaster with a modified Mitsukoshi dial. Original Mitsukoshi Speedmasters are extremely rare as they were only made for Japan and I think for one watch shop. There were a lot of additional dials made though so a lot of Speedmaster fans bought up the additional dials and did the swap.

Stunning watch.

tonupbklyn · 11 July 2018, 01:37 PM

correct, the watch is originally the current 1861 gen, with hesalite and steel back.
and modified with the mitsu dial and corresponding hands.

drmizzou · 11 July 2018, 11:17 PM

Very nice! I love my mitsukoshi convervsion! Recently got the snoopy strap from the Omega boutique and corresponding clasp for just over $500 and have been using it on the strap instead of bracelet and cannot get enough of it! Got a lot of compliments on it when I went to my ADs Basel event recently.

tonupbklyn · 12 July 2018, 12:06 AM

would argue the snoopy strap actually looks better with the mitsu dial than with the snoopy dial due to extra contrast of the black subdials.

ArtNouveau · 12 July 2018, 04:45 AM

Here's mine today on stingray.

tonupbklyn · 16 July 2018, 02:08 AM

hmm, seems to have less 'personality' on bracelet than on the snoopy strap...

FlyDuc78 · 17 July 2018, 06:59 AM

Love the dial I almost went for it but instead used the fund to pickup a Speedmaster Trilogy watch. So this might have to wait till it makes sense $$$ wise.

ocwatching · 17 July 2018, 07:20 AM

awesome piece..congrats
