·I'm headed to Venice at the end of the year. Definitely going to pop into the boutique and check out the city edition. It looks stunning. Hopefully they'll still be in stock by then!

·The white dial with blue indices and hands is the Singapore edition.
@pongster As @8100_RPM said it is Singapore. Another interesting point on the Venice edition is that you can buy it in Steel or Sedna gold so it does not truly fit in the city collection. Another reason it has a separate listing maybe?

Now that i look at the singapore edition more closely, seems that its dial is also fume-esque and not all white.
Maybe the venezia indeed was not meant to form part of the collection. Maybe it is special in and of itself. I just dont know the special significance.

There is some history to that. Venice is where Omega discovered the Hippocampus so I guess it is in part a tribute to the Venice and the Gondola which gave them (Jean-Pierre Borle) the symbol which in turn became synonymous with water resistance and sometimes now causes confusion in terms of Seamaster / Speedmaster etc
I just saw @ericmtl put this up on another thread -

·The origin of the Seamaster's link to Venice, Italy led me to buy the ss version of the Editionne Venizia. Then when I saw the Swiss Boutique version I again fell in love and bought it as well. I am looking for the gold case version of the Editionne Venizia, but so far not luck on the second hand market.

·If you are referring to the Swiss Boutique version, then, if they are not sold out you can contact by email one of the Swiss OBs to ask if it is still available. I bought mine directly from the OB in Zurich:

··@SpeedyBirthYearA week ago, I’ve had the pleasure to see the Paris Edition in the metal, while I am waiting for my London Edition to arrive.
In short; Paris looks great! It was a close call but I’ll stick to the London Edition and will remain patient. Still, a very captivating dial!

I'm not sure if it's still there but Omega Regent Street had a London edition seamaster on display a couple weeks ago. So if you were stuck waiting and wanted one you could try there?
However I'm going to guess you're after a specific number or just building a relationship with a certain boutique?

Thanks. @Slowpoker! You guessed right, I am waiting for a specific number indeed...

·Happened to be close to the Regents Street boutique yesterday whilst wearing my NYC edition seamaster so I popped in to have a look at the London version. Poor photo, I apologise, but wanted to share a side by side shot.
The blue London version looks smaller than the NYC variant and was hard to photograph. It was a nice watch, but something about it just didn't grab me despite quite a dynamic dial. Hard to explain. Better shot of mine is also below.
