Looks like there is a display bug on white Hermès Radial watch face. When you choose today’s date it does not show up as it seems to be white on white. No problem with another color. Do you have the same bug ?

There is more than this bug...
No more white dial available at all here and that all new "guess, what time it is" Hermès Radial dial...
EDIT: just got the "Béton" white dial back, but the other problems persist.

And yes, you are right, no more date, just the day, even if "todays date" is chosen trough an external calender app-option. Daydate is only shown at "three o'clock" position.

In case anyone is on the hunt - just posted my 45MM Series 7 (under warranty) and a mix of new and used bands (Fauve Barénia Attelage, Vert Rousseau Swift Leather, Rouge de Cœur/Rouge H Jumping, Blue Saphire/Orange Jumping) in the Marketplace forum :)

The oversight on Apple's part regarding the Béton background color is disappointing. It affects all the classic Hermès faces, but is especially noticeable on the Radial face. On wrist up, the contrast of white against Béton is too low for many complication to be visible, such as the current weather temperate in the center of the temperate band. It should have been set to the same dark Canopée color as the other components, instead of white. On wrist down, the current temperature is visible, but the numerals and logo are barely legible. Too bad Hermès doesn't control these quality checks instead of Apple.

Make the best out of the fact, that the contrast is underwhelming and the date is broken.

May I present the all new Hermès Radial Béton "Star Edition": 💃🕺

Using the symbol only in the app "Cheatsheet" - Usually there is a circle around it, but it became invisible on this dial.

Plan to order my Grand H while in Paris directly from an Hermes store and then use the sales-tax refund process to get it for less than buying directly from Hermes/Apple UK.

I expect an Hermes store in Paris to also have lots of bands as well that I can try!

Lol, this is great. Of course, Apple would release this as an exclusive face on yet another new Hermès model.

Here are some photos I took of mine. I hope it helps!

Has anyone got any good photos of the Kilim Noir and Beton bands they can post? When I went to the Hermes store a while ago I didn’t really take a look at them. I’m now going to get one but I can’t decide between the 2 colours.

Thanks in advance.
After wearing the lighter band for a while I noticed it gotten really dirty on edges . At first I thought this happened from wearing jeans and now I am convinced it’s from a winter jacket and long sleeved shirts - it’s def great for a t-shirt climate, though. If things like that woo bug you, go with black.

This happened with my Orange Kilim.

I’ll take it to an Hermes store for care/cleaning, when I’m near one.

I have had an Oct 30 - Nov 6 “arrives by” estimate. Hoping to see some movement soon, the anticipation is a lot!
I ordered mine within the first hour and got a 10/29-11/5 estimate. It is is 10/29 and still “processing.“

The Grand H is in stock finally in both sizes and all lengths in the Singapore Apple Store, and suddenly the Hermes online store for Singapore also shows both in stock after the 46mm option disappeared entirely for the last few weeks. Many of the leather 46mm options are not in stock in Hermes SG though, I am still looking to get the 46mm Hapi Double Tour. Can't decide between the Grand H and the double tour!
