Release was originally scheduled for August. It has since been pushed back. My AD has not gotten word on how far back nor exact release window.

So in other words, a typical Omega roll-out.

Glad I decided to buy a Black Bay last month. Got sick of waiting for the new SMP. That wrist shot looks good though. Might buy one still, but at least I’m not eagerly waiting like before.

It’s beautiful. The rubber strap is a fantastic option.

It really does look good.

The strap is super duper comfortable. Definitely soft. But also pliable. Super high quality.

Tang buckle.

Closed caseback.

Don’t recall the price, but shockingly low imho. I have a blue SMP on steel. It’s wonderful. This line imho is the most reasonably priced high end watch made.

But this watch is somehow more special. It’s going to be a tough wait.

The proportions and just perfect. The feel is awesome. I think this is a huge hit.

I think im one of the first on list at my AD

Seems like no one cares about this - or any omega in fact
Or maybe coz tudor is quiet hot atm

Either way im 99% getting this, not a fan of omega bracelets so will be on a rubber, not sure black or blue yet

Checked some vids out today on youtube - its a display back case aswel :)

the frustration with Omega Roll out knows no limits...

I think Swatch leaving Basel is a good thing... why introduce a watch a year before you can have it?

The rubber is fantastic, and the keeper actually has (I believe) titanium in it to preservethe shape and integrity... (so it won't turn to shit like the rubber straps of the 2500 era Planet oceans)...

I'm not really a two-tone fan and don't really like gold for sports watches but I must say this looks really nice. Is it rose gold? It and the two-tone Rolex CHNR GMT are really starting to grow on me. Maybe the rose gold instead of yellow gold makes the difference.

any guesses what the change will mean for the value on the ceramic 300m with the smooth blue dial in say 10 years or so? i would imagine it will make the smooth dial somewhat collectable?

A “guess” would be that the smooth dial will be back next year...
