Re: SMP date window?
In Response To: SMP date window? ()

With regard to the bond SMP, the date window takes up most of the space that would normally be used for the 3 o'clock marker. The white box of the date window helps maintain the visual balance on that model.

: I have a SMP with a blue dial. Just wondering
: why Omega uses a black-on-white date with
: the blue dials & white-on-black on the
: blackface watches. I find that white on
: dark, whether it is the hands on face or
: date, is much easier to read quickly in poor
: light. Is it just that there are too many
: shades of blue faces to warrany it?
