I’m usually in favor of color, but the black vintage look is classic and perfect.

I agree . I've been considering the Omega Speedmaster for a while ,but I never warmed up to that watch . This Longines Big Eye has a funkiness and coolness assiciated with the unique design . Plus the performance of the movement is superb .
it is one of the best blues ever in a watch
For a daily, black. For a fun one, blue.
Tough choice but a pilot would always choose the black. This watch being a flieger, black is always appropriate.
Got the black. I find it closest to the original and has better legibility. 😉
I would happily take either, but I don't have a titanium watch or a blue dial watch so this covers a few bases.

Would this watch really be considered a flieger? Seems like at minimum the 12 has to be a triangle.
The blue & brown & black makes what's already a busy watch too busy imo. Blacked out walks a nice balance

IMHO, any pilot watch can loosely be called a "flieger" which comes from the German word "fliegen" or flying.
Strictly speaking the term refers to WWII pilot watches and to your point, watches of a specific style.
Longines has a long history producing watches for aviation, including this watch.
I’d go for the blue, what a watch! 👌
I can only recommend …
