I pinched this from a Facebook page, I thought the same doesn't look to the standards of other omega bracelets.
Hah, that’s one of my photos!
Despite how it looks, the new bracelet and clasp are finished extremely well. I can’t say enough good things about them, aside from how the polished outer links are scratch magnets.

I second this. It is a well finished watch. Always tricky to judge from pictures...

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...

+1 on this, I handled the black black in person a few weeks ago. It felt like my ceramic PO, hefty with a solid feel despite the full ceramic case.
I didn't turn the bezel on the black black but the bezel on my ceramic PO is my favorite out of my dive watches.

@eugeneandresson , thanks for doing this. I have gone back to this thread a few times. Some of us out in the colonies have trouble finding a boutique and it's fun to see a bunch together.

You're my influencer of choice. Because of you I have an unhealthy obsession with the 50th Apollo gold speedmaster (surely an exit watch if ever one existed). But these new Seamasters may tide me over. I think I favor the blue. My one fear is that Omega has come out with such great designs this year, what happens next year when they do it again?

That bronze gold is pretty spectacular. They aren't going to stop though, right? Now that they introduced bronze/gold, they will be tempted to do it again. Next year, bronze gold with blue dial? Be still my beating heart.

Thats hillarious. I’m about as far from an influencer as Al Bundy is from husband of the year…😀
