There is already an 18K white gold Milanese mesh on a Seamaster:



But this looks like an 18K Moonshine Gold Seamaster Pro 300M Diver, probably Cal 8807 with no date, with a bezel that looks a lot like the Moonshine gold Anniversary Speedmaster, something like this color scheme but in a Seamaster

Yes, but a traditional gold not a white gold. This certainly is a new unannounced model. The dial looks black and bezel burgundy unlike this one which is more red.

Skeleton hands and an SMP bezel insert in red/burgundy. Case looks gold of some type. Dial is black.

So basically a watch no one asked for.

I've never understood gold dive watches. Gold is for dress watches. To me anyway.

But I will say, @Trev those look excellent! That Maroon/Black would be a buy for me… if I had money.

@Trev you should definitely move the watermark closer to the watch. @Jakeys did a similar mock up for the other new release in the other thread, and people on Reddit and Instagram stole the images, cropped out the watermark, and claimed “leaked photos” of the new release.

Edit to add

At this stage there are AI watermark removers that can handle even text over the top of it, it’s more a matter of we know it’s there and if someone does remove it, we can sort or say yes that’s a bit of a crummy thing to do as we made it minor and off to the side so as not to interfere.

I’m wondering, maybe the significance of this is now that Daniel Craig is effectively retired from the James Bond franchise, this watch being a similar design to the No Time To Die in titanium and 60th anniversary in steel…

Perhaps it’s gold because it’s Daniel Craig’s Bond retirement watch, sort of echoing that tradition of giving someone a gold watch as they leave a company after many years of service.

It would rather fit with the commemorative nature of the burgundy Speedmaster Pro BA 145.022-69 that was issued to the Apollo 11 crew after their work was completed.

What do I know, but suspect it’s the same stainless and black watch we’ve already been fussing over, just catching some various lighting that’s skewing it to (sorta) look gold and burgundy.

It’s been shot from a lot of angles and in video in different rooms and lighting now, definitely gold and burgundy bezel, he was on stage with it as well as outside

I feel like it has the black dial with burgundy bezel, but honestly I think Trev's all burgundy mockup looks better. We need to get a forum representative in their design department.

I kind of hope it is the burgundy but that it just looks near black due to the wave pattern as the 60th anniversary blue dial can also look black from certain angles due to the texture. I guess time will tell.

Trev is genuinely one of the most talented designers I’ve ever come across, he’s designed things from ultra-expensive keyboards to logos for Hollywood artist guilds to websites to watches and he never fails to impress me with his talents.

I wish we didn’t have to run ads to support the site because using it without them on the UI he created is something I’d love everyone to be able to do but alas costs keep going up while ad revenue is rather stagnant.

Yeah, it's weird, also gem-set; like a dress watch with a rotating bezel or rubber strap.

But then I wear my PO with a leather strap half the year soooo....

When I was picking up my FOIS on the first I of course asked what the new watch was going to be. She replied that she wished that he would just stay home...
