I saw one in the case in Omaha two Monday’s ago. I’m not overly interested in it, so I didn’t have them take it out, but it’s getting to ads.

I'm not loving the new one yet.
So far, I am stoked with my blue Aqua Terra 41 from one of the recent Bond movies. It's a real GADA watch.

Honestly, I just remember seeing it and thinking “oh, the new bond watch...” and moving on. I swear I saw a mesh bracelet, but maybe I was mistaken. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Got to try it on today. Such a unique watch. Super retro feel with the mesh. It is as thin and light as a dress watch. It feels like a 38mm vs the 41.

Wait, you're telling me there are James Bond books? I was surprised they made 007 on ye' ol' timey VHS tape. ;)

Not a great pic but I will say I really liked this in person. If I didn’t already own a Diver I would be all over this. I didn’t care for it on nato. The manager said when they get more in we can try to put one on rubber to see what it would look like.

Tried on the titanium bracelet piece last week when my AD called. It’s very lightweight and comfortable on the wrist. I like the bracelet a lot but not the faux patina as I find it to be too brown for my liking.

I kind of like the look of it on some levels but I don't believe I would want to own one. I will just stick with the 2018 blue version and if I want mesh throw one on mine.

I agree, I like a lot of the faux patina from some bands but this one is too overdone for my tastes.

As thin as a dress watch.... LOL cmon guys stop being dramatic, its a dive watch and Seamaster, it is about .5 mm thinner due to solid caseback. As far as the watch itself, the aging is way too fake and all the faux military/government issue insignia just trying too hard. Missed opportunity by Omega.

Do you guys think the Bracelet will be available to order separately down the line?

My guess, probably yes.

I believe the titanium material used for case and bracelet would make it so lightweight that at the end wouldn’t sing to me.. every titanium watch I had end up selling it because of this fact

I don't know why exactly but that watch does absolutely nothing for me. Not a fan of the bracelet, not a fan of the patina, not a fan of that brownish bezel, and lastly not a fan of the price. Blechhhh!

Must say, in person it is far better than pictures and my expectations. To each their own but I think it is very tastefully done considering it's a Bond watch. The bracelet is a work of art and the little details on the watch (off the top of my head....the lume, non applied omega logo and printed instead Omega logo, aluminum insert, beautiful sharp brushed titanium case) etc is a total hit. I can't wait to pick one up.
