What I found really nicely done are these mother-of-pearl indices on the new 36mm ladies watches:

What model is this please? I can't find it on the Omega site.

I'm more enthusiastic about the 300 after seeing your pictures than anything I saw from Omega on its release.
I'm not sure about those Aqua terra's with the small seconds, but I'm curious enough to wait and see what they turn out like in stores.

Is it just me or does the date window look out of place?

Not only you, I think it's horrible.

Maybe they should have at least used a matching date disc colour.

Thanks for all the photos, really nice to see them all in one place. I do wish they would use their old logo more for the pieces that are meant to resemble their original models.

Agree -- it looks off. Placement, size, font, framing, everything. Takes a clean, streamlined design and makes it look laboured, almost cartoony. In the renders and photos, anyway. Maybe it's more subtle in the metal.

Yes as eugeneandresson statet correctly, new AT ladies models. The slightly strange thing about them: with the 38mm they are quite massive, as ATs wear rather a bit larger. So not for every lady. Those in 34mm would be stunning.

On the Date for the Small Seconds AT: personally I found it quite well integrated in real-life, as it is much smaller than on the renders above.

i assume you mean this one :



The lighting is HORRIBLE : I found the black back SM300 way more legible in the bad lighting then most of these beautiful gems!. Funny that you mention it, as this watch also stood out to me...kind of in the same way as black black one did...i.e. it felt stealthy-monotone like, and is most likely the pick of the litter for me. That made me question the case material, and I was told it is steel. So, the dial is steel-grey as opposed to black.

Yes, exactly this one. So you mean it's clearly grey not black? Heh, I need to see it in flesh.

Yes - it looks rather dark grey, I would say anthrazite... Very different from the Black Black Speedy - maybe it is due to the texture.

Meh, compared to how nice the finishing on the bracelet of the new Speedy looks, this puts me off 🙁

I pinched this from a Facebook page, I thought the same doesn't look to the standards of other omega bracelets.

Thanks so much for the great post! I have some questions about the black black. How did it feel? Did it have some weight to it or did it feel like a light plastic watch on the wrist? Did you turn the bezel? Did it feel like solid distinct clicks or cheap like the Omega titanium bezels do? Thanks in advance!

It felt great. And heavy...top heavy to be exact. But not annoyingly so. It’s not gold, but has a nice heft, and the rubber strap is very comfortable and extremely light when compared to the watch (hence the uneven distribution). So no, definitely didn’t feel like a cheap plastic watch. Didn’t turn the bezel unfortunately...was too smitten...
