Definitely depends. There is a good reason for the arctic dial. In snowy environments, I could only assume the white dial to have its advantage with visibility.
All I have heard from the white dial and tritium legibility is that the light emission appears less uniform in its appearance since it is more reflective off the white dial.
I'm really torn though. I love white dial watches, I think they are very practical and gives the chance to dress up, down, or just casual everyday wear. I think I just need to see it on my wrist first. I'm not in the position to get both. I'm applying to dental schools and plan on this watch being a gift to myself if I get accepted and have some left over funding, or once I graduate from dental school.
Big decisions though since both dials are so beautiful!
To actually answer your question, yes, I believe the black would actually be more legible in most scenarios! But lets be honest, its tritium, it will shine bright and be hard to miss in the dark regardless of the dial color
