The heritage model may not look as polished as its professional sibling. From this Hodinkee picture, the blues look a bit too contrasting in direct sunlight.

Not going to lie, I'm somewhat disappointed. None of them is something that makes me want to run over to my Omega Boutique.

Teak dial Aqua Terra looks the best to me, but it looks a tad on the large side at 41mm. Otherwise, the SMP 300 is the winner.

I wish the shade of blue on the Aqua Terra was darker.
Time+Tide noted that each watch's shade of blue is darker depending on the depth rating. The Aqua Terra seemingly the lightest shade at 150m depth rating.

Nice wrist shot video of the SMP300M here. Shows how the gradient changes with light.

Unlike the Monaco Skeleton video, which showed up a month later, T+T has a video out immediately on these. 🙄

Andrew and Marcus did a good job with this video. The SMP 300 Diver is definitely my favorite.

Think I'm underwhelmed by the current announcement, might change if I saw this in the flesh, but for me the green still the one
That’s fair enough, the green is super cool in fairness. I like the grainy greyish texture on green one. Looks like they’ve gone next level on this new blue version of the SMP.

Having just watched that, I am proper sold on the 300M. I just couldn’t engage with the old blue for some reason, but this shade and fumé style is rather nice. Love the dial, plus that blue lume looks epic!

I also like the teak dial Aqua Terra as always liked those too.

I agree - The only interesting one (for me) is the revised proplof.

The rest, if you like fume blue dials then great - I don’t see a revised dial being a big seller in the world timer and the rest we’ll see. The others look ok however.

let’s hope these get to market quicker than the coloured aqua terras which are still not really on sale c.18 months after release!

Am I on my own in really liking this?

Outside what I would be prepared to spend but noticed it recently and think it’s proper cool.

Titanium, Tantalum and Gold. Dial is Titanium too.

You are not alone at all - I like it and did try it on.

It’s quite pink in real life though - you don’t get that from the pics, but try it on in normal light and it’s apparent. I’m not sure the rest of the colour combo helps with the Sedna…..

I love the color of the dial of the Planet Ocean, but still can't get used to the hefty case and bracelet.

The one that would interest me the most is the Ultra Deep. I love how the dial surface is patterned after the ocean floor of the Mariana Trench, where Omega participated in a world record dive. I also like the deep dark shade of blue.


A very cool bonus feature is the "OMEGA WAS HERE!", which is only visible under UV light.


I have nothing like it in my collection. But at 45.5mm, the watch is too large for me. So although I find it the most interesting, I'd never seriously consider buying one.

I have pre-ordered one of these. Now, let's see how long it takes. 🥱

Congrats, @Hubert!
Thanks; turned-out to be an expensive maritime-themed day. Timing 'Sailing' & scuba 'diving' is an expensive proposition. 🤦

Congats on the Seamaster 75th "diver"!

I know what you mean by the "sailing", congrats in advance on that one too! 😉

Thanks! I think the sailing watch will probably arrive first. We'll see!

AD contact of mine says the collection should start arriving by end of July. Quite a bit quicker than the usual timelines so we'll see...

They are bloody massive, but wear much better than the specs would have you believe. Esp on the rubber strap which is great on this.

I may have to try one on. Looks great in this pic (by @watchbie), but I doubt my wrist can pull it off.
