Thanks! I haven't heard about the green, but I know they have one coming next month that I already put my name on it.
I'm not wearing it right now, but I believe it's lumed like the 60th.

The other one doesn't appear to be.
Did you put your name down unknown of the colour or cannot reveal?

Where did you hear the green was planned (and the white)? Would be odd for them to completely redo their colour palette in a couple of months. Not saying it won’t happen, but I’d be surprised if it was that quick.

The shade will doubtless be slightly different due to the differing materials. Slightly shinier would probably suit as I find the ceramic green a bit boring personally.

Either way, while they keep that bracelet, I’m a non runner which is a shame as I like the bond 60th a lot otherwise.
Online so may not be true but the info was correct on the ones before.

Brands have these catered months even a year prior & I’d be surprised if they stopped at only these 2 variants. Green & white are popular sellers with the ceramic versions.

Only one I cannot see happening is the blue as it would compete with the Bond 60th.

The bronze gold we saw on Daniel Craig's wrist is also coming next year.

Suspect that’s either 25yr anniversary of GoldenEye. Heard they will call the Goldfinger tribute.

2025 will be the 30th anniversary of GoldenEye, released in '95. The first Bond film to feature an Omega. Hence, my bet is that the watch will be 18k gold and pay tribute to that movie. Which would make a lot more sense than Goldfinger, as it turned 60 this year and is famous for the Rolex Submariner.

You are probably correct.

Ah right I wouldn’t put it past Omega. I seem to recall OHMSS being ‘honoured’ in the last few years and was a Seamaster.

Pretty certain that was Rolex Sun (& cosmograph/ daytona)

Yeah, Omega's trying to lay claim to the entire series, but next year is too late for Goldfinger.

Lazenby wore the Rolex Cosmograph and the Rolex Sub in OHMSS. But for me, Lazenby was the wimpiest of all the Bonds, so that Omega OHMSS tribute was absurd in more ways than one.

Bronze gold, and the dial will be burgundy too.

Surely the manufacturing for it is already there so maybe not.

Although wasn’t the green originally hard to get as they had issues with the bezel hue.

Hopefully not as I do rather like that shade of forest green.

However finding out the bezel is fully lumed has a notch in the con column
Here you go...

Not a different color. Something else.

Hmm I’m still not convinced buy lumed bezels, just reminds me a bit of those Luminox Navy Seals wannabes.

Have you seen it / seen renders? I haven't yet
It's this one, isn't it?

Post in thread 'WTH is this "Speedmaster"' https://omegaforums.net/threads/wth-is-this-speedmaster.175464/post-2397764
Best speculation I've heard is that it might be a version of that, but the Flight Qualified is still reserved only for actual pilots
Yes, the Omega renders I was shown, resembled the model that is sold to pilots.

Here's mine.


And picture of the other one.
I tried the black on today - it’s very nice and actually the bracelet was ok. They didn’t have the silver unfortunately, as according to the boutique they’d sold them all. Apparently in the flesh it’s pretty nice.

Yes, it's very nice as well. The [Craig] black one was the one that I was interested in, but I could see myself adding this other one in the future.
