Have you guys been following the teasers on Omega's Facebook page? They're causing quite a stir on other boards. This is what has been released so far:

subtona · 21 March 2014, 01:36 AM

How thick will it be?

KBM · 21 March 2014, 01:41 AM

No official word on that yet. Over at WUS someone commented that this looks like a re-issue of a 1957 Seamaster:

It makes some sense, as can be seen from the additional dial details which become more apparent if the contrast is changed from the teaser image (this was also posted at WUS):

subtona · 21 March 2014, 01:42 AM

That would be nice

KBM · 21 March 2014, 01:43 AM

Also doesn't look like a screw-down crown, does it?

Incredible Hulk · 21 March 2014, 01:44 AM

OMG, Cera-Gold What?????? that's just craziness. Time to apply for a new credit card.

Maybe extend my line of credit by 50K

Spend the next 10 years paying back baselworld.

Noonan · 21 March 2014, 01:45 AM

Looks like it's using a seconds hand off a Speedmaster.

It is interesting that the bezel has the indication of Ceragold but the teaser of the bracelet seems to be SS. Maybe only the bezel markers are gold, like Rolex fills theirs with Pt.?

Noonan · 21 March 2014, 01:54 AM

The colored pic makes it look TT. The bezel and crown are gold but the case appears to be SS.

Wesley Crusher · 21 March 2014, 02:09 AM

It looks like the dial says MASTER Co-Axial. New movement?

I hope this watch isn't overly thick. If it is going to be a throwback to the old Seamaster, I hope they don't use a sapphire caseback.

capote · 21 March 2014, 02:14 AM

Gimme lugholes!

Will be interesting to see if Rolex reissue the SD4k.

Seamaster Dark Side of the Sea!

Dark side of the earth.

KBM · 21 March 2014, 03:17 AM

There has been speculation that it could carry a new manual wind caliber.

That would be great. It seems from the pic that there's no date on this one. That could point to being manual wind as well.

Fiery · 21 March 2014, 06:42 AM

Looks sweet. I hope it has a hesalite crystal and a manual-wound movement.

I think another win for Omega would be to restart the production of the Cal.321 pre-moon Speedmasters (145.012 and 105.012) in their original specifications, for a very limited run of 50 or 100 pieces only. But maybe they save it for the 50th big anniversary of the Moon landing...

bayerische · 21 March 2014, 07:08 AM

Looks pretty cool!!!

You would like to see another Omega LE?

Michael N Q8 · 21 March 2014, 09:30 PM

I see no helium release either

No need for it.

hmmmm....pretty cool!

(even if it means YET ANOTHER line of omega watches.)

if not, i guess it's not going for mega depth (and, therefore, it won't be too thick).

I was really excited for this release, but a TT diver just isn't going to do it for me. On the other hand, I'm glad to see Omega finally putting together a dive clasp with some adjustment.

wantonebad · 22 March 2014, 12:37 AM

A heritage seamaster might be cool

, only releasing it in ceragold would not be cool

, I am perplexed by the lack of crown guards

KBM · 22 March 2014, 12:42 AM

I really like the lack of a He escape valve and crown guards. Makes for a fresh look, imo. A launch only in gold would be disappointing, but not unheard of, as they could proceed to release the ss version in the coming years. On the other hand, that clasp and bracelet picture sure look like ss to me.

Truth is, what I really wanted to see was a reissue of the Seamaster 300...

DCgator · 22 March 2014, 12:59 AM

Can't wait to see actual pics.

joe100 · 22 March 2014, 01:36 AM

It'll be interesting.

However if it's really all gold and a LE, I won't be interested.

More aesthetically pleasing? Perhaps but crown guards and functional and needed for a true diver.

Aesthetically pleasing, yes, but I was thinking more in the lines of a fresh/different design (albeit inspired by past models).

Crown guards certainly perform a function, but I don't think a watch necessarily needs them to be a true diver, just like it doesn't need a He release valve, or crazy depth resistance.
