Interesting but I don't think that quite works and that white strap won't look good for long.

Am I the only one who thinks it's odd to have a white "night mission"?

Agree with comments on practicality of a white strap, and given the 24mm lug width it's a lot of rubber so is going to be obvious when it is less than pristine.

Put it on the black rubber and I think it would be a lot better looking. That's just too much white.

I totally agree on swapping the strap out for black. It would definitely give it a more functional and professional look.

Looking at it as it is, with that white strap, I'd say it almost looks like something a "fashion brand" would churn out. It looks a million miles away from the "Instruments for Professionals" moniker. :?

Omega have done something similar (and equally "fashion-orientated", and equally nasty) with the White Side Of The Moon. Another watch that couldn't be further away from it's professional roots.

Exactly. I assumed it was a photoshop mock-up at first.

I love the look of a B50 but I have to tell you I am just not feeling it with that white strap and dial. I see the B50 as a natural in more traditional colors. Jmho.

This is like the Stormtrooper E2, which I love! The white can show wear pretty fast, so it would be ideal to switch the white out before doing anything "dirty" but it's still a stunner.
