Ciao Fabrizio,

yes, like on all the early white/silver dial Carreras, the subdial hands and the chrono second hand are black instead of the re-edition's "polished steel".

But I think they are not painted black, instead I assume that they were treated with some electroplating process (blued steel, anodized or something like that, I have absolutely no idea about the metallurgic processes). Some of our more knowledgeable, watchmaking experts certainly can explain.

Cordiali saluti,
Robert
