    I guess I am not the only one who would like to see Omega making it happen(?).
    Did some mockups, based on a modern interpretation of 300m model, but without the modern "waves".
    Old waves and the old green lume, this is how I see it.
    Tell me you wouldn't have bought this watch? Especially in a no-date version.

    Thoughts?

    Date, applied indices from the Non-AC, either wave dial, blue lume for modernity and I'm a customer! Nice work!

    Nice work.

    Am I the only one that likes the olde flatter rounder HE valve better than the new conical shape?

    Great job. I love my 2254 and my new SMP. Prefer the 54 though. I’d snatch the one you made up in a heartbeat.

    That is a great idea! I'd definitely pay a visit to a dealer to take a look.

    Modern lume would be A-OK though.

    Looks great, gotta have the sword hands. I prefer the old waves, didn’t mind the new waves too much, it’s the hands I really don’t like.

    Nice. I'm a fan of the no date look. Put me down for one, please.

    It was a very well loved piece for sure, I think a no date or date at three with the modern interpretation of the wave dial which I quite like could look good, ceramic dial and bezel, sword hands and a Speedmaster style bracelet like the original. It wouldn't be hard for them to make, the only part that isn't really part of the current collection it the sword hand set, I'd give it the Planet Ocean second hand too rather than the stock 2254.50, it was a popular mod for the reference and looked great.

    Nope. Not a fan, either. Aesthetically, it detracts from the beautiful asymmetry of the 2254 - imo.

    My 2254 remains the favourite of my Omegas, yet my new-to-me Speedy is hogging all the wrist time.

    Speedy bracelet is doable, I will make such mockups too.

    Not sure would I have touch the conical valve, meaning, it works pretty well with the 'big triangle' index.

    Nice work. By the way I think there are a lor of 2254 around, so what is the real need of a re-edition?

    Nice job! I'd buy one of those in a second, especially a no date version and if beggars could be choosers, a smaller version of the He valve like on the old ones. Missed out on the 2254.50 years ago when I had to pay for some things like rent with no extra cash to play around with... so wish I'd been able to pick one up. I've missed some good examples of pre-owned ones too. Just keeps slipping by.

    Nothing wrong at all... I prefer the Bond bracelet over the Speedy. Though from the OP's mockups, I'm also liking what appears to be the 300MC bracelet on it.
