Omega Speedmaster Co-Axial Racing Dials Vote: White or Black?

Just wanted to put a poll up and see what everyone's preference is between the white dial and the black dial with orange accents.

Thanks for voting

Both are really cool watches, but the white is a notch up, to me.

White for sure. There are many other models that you can choose black.

Between those two, I'd go for the white textured dial. Looks great.

White in person is awesome. Wish they would size this thing down, because it’s really great. The size kills it for me each time I’ve tried it on.

I think the white looks more striking, but I don’t like white watches on me - so black for me

I own the black dial version of this watch and while I looked at the white dial version it just seems a little off with the sub dials. I bought mine on the perforated racing strap and have some NATO's.

Thanks for some great pics!!

I had the black dial and sold it as part of a large collection consolidation and it’s one that i really regret selling. Such a great watch. I’m going to add one back and was thinking white dial this time to add a little diversity in a sea of black dial watches but i just can’t get past the black dial. I love the orange hands and feel like minute track is much more pronounced as opposed to the white dial. I’m going to give it a little more time before making my decision.

I like them both. Love the hands on black. That said I’d personally choose white only to add balance to my collection. Don’t think you can go wrong here.

Thanks everyone for voting

At this time the poll is: White 19 - Black 9

I still can't decide. I know I like the black being that I use to have it but the white is very clean and I like the contrast of the sub dials.

This decision is going to take me some time and I think I want to see the white dial in person before deciding.

I have and love the white, but when I first started looking at this watch I wanted the black one. I tried the white on and absolutely loved it. My impressions are that the white is classier and the black sportier. I think both look equally good on a strap and bracelet.

Regardless of what you do, I really think this is one of the better watches out there under $10k. I’ll try to post pictures, but Tapatalk is acting up on me right now.

White by a mile. My wish for Christmas is to have Santa convince Omega make a 41mm version of this.

Some pics of the white dial would be great!

Tapatalk’s been wonky, but here you go. Just put it back on the bracelet the other day. It was living on a Hirsch all summer.

Black.
More legible and looks smaller.

Both are very cool. I voted for black, mainly because something about it (maybe all of the orange?) exudes more of the Omega DNA. The white is really cool, but I wonder if what I like about it is it’s similarity to the white dial Daytona. Can’t go wrong with either.

Love that textured look of the dial

Think I'm leaning towards the black dial now

Both very nice, and I'm usually a black dial person, but in this case the white pips it for me
Ask me again tomorrow and I might say black!

If I didn’t have the white daytona I would choose the white dial. Otherwise I would go with the black dial. Very unique

It really depends on whether you like a sportier version (black) or not as sporty version (white). I prefer the black for this model but totally understand the likes for the white dial.
