I'm doing this withOUT going to the Omega website, but from a timekeeping perspective this watch is seriously hosed up as far as the subdials are concerned. To begin with, the left subdial goes from 1 to 7, which means that it's indicating day of the week, but which day is the first day of the week? Monday if your God is Money, Sunday if you're Christian, and Saturday if you're Jewish. I don't know if anyone else has ever seen a day of the week indicator presented in this kind of ambiguous fashion, but I would have to believe that no watchmaker in their right mind would go with this design. The bottom subdial is 24 hour, which could be either a GMT fature or a 24 hour counter for the stopwatch. The right dial is a date dial, which considering this watch DOES have a stopwatch feature, means that THERE IS NO MINUTE COUNTER FOR THE STOPWATCH. The other suspicious thing is the lack of optical continuity on the watch dial between the 6 and 10 o'clock position. I suspect the upper left quadrant of the watch has been photoshopped to drop in the "what day is it?" dial.
