How about...

• FOIS with hesalite. Don't change anything else. (no faux aged lume please)
• Seamaster 120 reissue. (again, w/o aged lume)
• AT midsize - 36.25mm with thinner case
• Globemaster in smaller size, without that grooves near the lugs to make the case more c-case-ish.

I would like to see collaborations for a good cause. Sort of like Nomos & Doctors Without Borders. But maybe have every company release for the same cause.

60th anniversary speedy case, all brushed like the ST, with a panda dial.

Would also like to see the spear shaped chrono hand from the ed whites and 105.012s make a reappearance.

I do now! Very cool concept! I haven't heard of it before.... I'm curious at what other organizations are sponsored by watch companies.(possibly a conversation for another thread)

My thought is that even though statistically watch sales are decreasing, it is still an EXTREMELY lucrative business that could collaboratively raise a significant amount of money each year for different causes.

That's one of the reasons I purchased the Orbis Hour Vision...(sorry for the finger print on the dial)

2018 is def going to be the year of the Seamaster, as its going to be the 70th anniversary for the collection so I am sure there will be some special pieces. I really hoping the 300 pro comes back with an in house caliber and wave pattern dial.

Oh rats! I was hoping I could stop thinking about this but since you asked..

Omega Globemaster GMT 40mm Titanium Reference 130.90.40.22.06.001

I too would love to see a Globemaster GMT, with bi-directional rotating 24-hour bezel, in place of the current fixed fluted one. Suppose we shouldn't hold our breath, though, as I don't think the Globemaster has exactly been flying off the shelves for Omega.

What about some Flightmasters?!
I had one back in the late 70's. Massive. When I got a job where I had to wear dress shirts they wouldn't cover the watch. When some smart ass asked me if it was "diesel powered", I stopped wearing it.

I know, I know... too soon, right? 🙄

I'd love to see Omega bring this, or something similar, out of the archives with a modern movement (hand wound, please!)

I've said before I'd like this revived, with the minute track from the chrono underneath. Priced at <2k and with a no-nonsense basic movement like a 1120, I reckon it would make a good "gateway" watch to the wider Omega range. Never going to happen though........🤔

Bringing back the 60s/70s Geneve Dyamics same size no 45mm bs. Only change the colors as it would be too dated to sell well without it. The ad sells it self.

I'd love a true GMT Globemaster. And how about a co-axial Speedmaster with a low profile metal back instead of the glass bubble? And double the size of the date window. At least double, maybe triple.

I'd like to see anything in the 36mm-38mm range. The current LE's are out of reach for me.

And yes, my wife would say it's far to early to be talking about this, I would dutifully agree and slink off to my office to see if there were any new posts.

I have given up dreaming pre-Basel...so my expectations are pretty low.😉

Globemaster with GMT - if done properly...I have not really liked any of the AT GMT designs so far. I do think a Globemaster GMT is a significant design challenge with the fluted bezel and pie pan dial.

DSOTM range Metas certified - probably on the cards...won't add anything significant really, but might make the DSOTM more restricted and less popular on the grey market...so if you do perchance acquire the DSOTM from your local OB, you won't get a Barnum Sucker sticker together with your Metas card...won't be holding my breath though😗

Overall I have to say it must be tough being an Omega designer, so much effort with often minimal recognition...all Rolex needs to do is to roll-out the Coke GMT next year on stainless steel and they will be considered the Basel 2018 show winners🙄

All I want is a Omega online shop for accessories. Straps springbars and the like. Doesn't have to be watches.

Save having the half hour conversations to a Omega Boutique just to order a strap or a buckle. ( even after I have the part number )
If they only knew how much $$ they have lost over the years from me.

Hey, at least they let us order them. Often times, Rolex won't even sell that stuff to us. lol

On the contrary, all they would really need to do is replace the fluted bezel with a rotating GMT one, add a GMT hand, and basically leave the rest of the watch alone. To me, a Globemaster like that would be a home run, something Omega could proudly hold out as their flagship GMT model that stands up well against any of the Rolex GMTs.
