Would be interesting to see a relief-waves version in this green.

I wouldn't be surprised if Omega does a green dial Plant Ocean, that should eliminate the waves.
I believe someone posted that Omega might have more releases in the fall. It would be nice to see a PO update, especially in green.

I just can't get behind luxury watches on rubber straps. It's a dive watch so it makes functional sense but. . .

So according to the OB in NYC (Brookfield Place), the green Diver is not a limited run. They also do not have an idea about what the availability will be versus the wait list. They did offer the option to place a refundable deposit, but I passed as I am not desperate for the watch and will take my chances since it isn't a limited run.

Changing gears, my main reason for wanting to swing by there was to finally see this beauty in person. Absolutely stunning, even under the boutique lighting; $7600 USD for stainless steel is a tough sell, but I may cave.

Was at the Chicago OB this past weekend. Rep stated that them would have the new models in store for a couple days later this month. You can view and handle them and then I’m assuming place an order for summer delivery.

It's a stunning green. Can't wait to see it. This will NOT be limited edition or production - just a standard run. Probably will be hard to get at the beginning, but availability will come back to normal after first hype is delivered.

I am very tempted here and my Great White is in danger 😉

I’m still waiting and hoping for a Seamaster GMT in ANY color!!

Huge missed opportunity. I would kill for a luxury Swiss true GMT around 4-7k that doesn’t look like a knock off or have date issue and isn’t as thick as a hockey puck.

I have a feeling that Longines is going to come out with a Spirit GMT for under 3K. If they are bold enough to put a jumping hour on it, they will have hit the jackpot.

This is the piece that would make a difference in the Omega lineup. Had the planet ocean GMT but sold it. Maybe later in the year or maybe after Rolex releases a black dial GMT, them Omega will follow. That seems to be the point on the current release.

Seems to me Omega is putting the cart before the horse by adding new color themes to a watch whose design has not yet reached maturity unlike the Speedy pro, Submariner, Datejust, Royal Oak, Nautilus etc...

Can you elaborate? I feel the Seamaster Professional is pretty mature although there was a recent no-wave period, I guess. Wave dial, He valve, 300m WR, twisted lugs . . .

I like this green. I haven’t tried the current bracelet but it does look super chunky at the buckle. Agree that tapering should be the next consideration for the brand!

Yeah, I don't get that either. The Seamaster Professional 300M is a highly established line sporting dedicated features on an evolving platform. I'd say the SMP is fairly mature, with four major revisions over 30 years, all of which have been offered in several themes and colorways.

Omega seems to be going back and forth with the waves. The latest Bond version is back to having no waves. I agree that the twisted lugs and helium valve are part of the design and the case in general has reached maturity. Dial, hands and bezel have not. Bezel needs lume for one thing and hands can be improved. There's also the issue of the date window. Will it stay at 6, go back to 3 or disappear. I really feel we don't have a stable/mature design just yet but I'm hopeful we will in the not too distant future. I see great potential in the 300M and I can't wait to see it evolve and mature.
The Bond watch was a one off and and DC hasn’t really featured the same watch in 2 consecutive movies so I wouldn’t use the Bond Seamaster as the standard bearer for the Seamaster 300m Diver.

Hands have been sword hands for around 25 years+ so that’s pretty stable. Waves are back after a 6-7 year hiatus and is now kind of considered a style design of the watch. There’s never been a lumed bezel except for the NTTD version so non-lumed bezel is another stable design.

Biggest change so far was increase in size, removal and addition of waves, and the date window move. The twisted lugs, He valve, non tapered bracelet and overall design have been pretty stable for awhile.
