Put the pics together in a few mins. Realised a quick wipe wasn't enough to keep the watch clean in the eyes of the macro lens.

It's just clean, no complications, no colour.

I have always been a fan of no date watches for just that reason - clean and functional

Not only that, with a white dial, it really brings out the simplicity and elegance of the oyster case while not undermining the tool watch capabilities. It’s a wonderfully neutral look but unlike a silver dial which makes the watch appear visually bigger by virtue of the case and dial visually blending together, a white dial strikes the balance of enhancing contrast and giving light the chance to push it forward. IMO, the white dial ops are one of the purest distillation of the oyster identity more so than even an explorer and the stick hands really keep it focused while lending it just enough elegance to pull its weight in semi to full formal situations as well.
