I watched that yesterday and what a frustrating "hands-on" that is. He's sitting there holding the watch so far from the camera about all you can tell is that it is in fact some sort of watch. No close-up shots, No wrist shots. No clue why they would do a hands-on video of a brand new set of watches and not show any real close ups. I want a close wrist shot, not a couple random promo-looking shots.

I thought so and I was afraid of that... Speedmaster is already pushing it for me.

I'm really intrigued by the bronze/gold watch. Not a huge fan of the lollipop second hand on the other 300's. It might grow on me though.

WOW, they are marketing 9k freaking gold as a new gold alloy with an $11.6k price tag, seriously this is comedy.

Intrigued by what?? Paying MORE for LESS gold?? Don't be fooled, just go grab a nice bronze watch and save like 10k or go all gold (real 18k gold).

Yeah the 9K coupled with the price tag rubbed me the wrong way too.

Does the gold content really matter for most buyers? I guess I kind of feel that if it looks like gold, feels like gold, has the weight of gold...then I guess I don't care that much.

They replaced the date on previous model with running seconds.

At this price point, the gold content matters to me.

Speaking for me, YES somewhat, I know you dont get what you pay for in a gold watch or PM watch but if I'm paying ~$12k (even with a discount) I don't want the minimal gold content with the below minimal standard gold mix (9k?!) marketed as a special bronze alloy, this must be a joke.

I like the bronze gold Seamaster 300. I noticed it has a ceramic bezel. The new stainless steel version does not. I think that’s a step backwards.

Love the new velcro straps too...

Very nice. Not a fan of blue leather straps but I suppose they'll swap that out for a brown one if you asked them to.

There is no mistake, lollipop on steel and arrow on bronze gold only.

I do like the look of the new SM but not sure how close to the originals these supposed "Heritage" models are.

Lollypop second hand, yes, but Panerai style open 6 & 9????

Really?

if it was a vintage Rolex date wheel then maybe, but vintage Omega Seamaster dial?

I don't think so.

Did you see the Watchadvisor hands on with the 300 Seamaster Heritage line? Hope he does one with the rest of the 2021 releases. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaIPCv4UPOA

Yeah I did. It's an excellent video. I think this thread is about that WA video.

The new Tresors look nice but I don't really see the point of the small seconds Aqua Terra, as it's more of an everyday or sporty watch.

If the new black and blue 300 had a ceramic bezel, no fauxtina, and an arrow seconds hand, I'd add one to my collection. As they are now, they miss the mark for me. The new bronze gold is somewhat intriguing but I think Omega should have either gone for bronze or for gold and let the price reflect that. At least they got the bezel and the seconds hand right on that one, though.

the case consist mostly bronze and 35% of gold, certainly the colour will change over time.

Are these going to part of the new releases this year? I can’t find them on Omega’s website, including the section on 2021 novelties.

I tend to agree. Date looks awkward there. A no-date option would be an improvement.

That is a good looking watch. Not a fan of the date but I can live with it. I am interested in the product information on these watches.
