Kind of like this one Magnus? It's a 3590.50 (861 movement) with the panda dial, black hands and red Alaska Project second hand fitted...
Your one is nice! I've got the standard dial without the red date though.

Have had a small but totally unexpected windfall of a couple of hundred quid and am probably going to indulge my long-standing desire for a B-Uhr watch.
Front-runner at the moment, value for money being the biggest priority, is a Steinhart Nav B-Uhr Type B in 44mm size:
I realize it breaks my "no automatics" rule, but maybe I'll give them one last chance (Steinhart do handwound watches, but not of this particular model).

For me, it's a strangely attractive watch and different to anything else in my collection. The fluted bezel and overall dressy feel are normally things I would avoid, but this is a stunner - especially the pie-pan dial and good mix of practical features (lume, good contrast, 100m WR).
As for the movement, I think Omega are advancing the technical aspects of movements faster than other mainstream makers - and that aspect is also appealing.
