I’d like to see the previous generation of the planet ocean gmt again.

Manual-wind Speedmaster with Ed White dial, symmetrical case/straight lugs, Hesalite crystal, and NO faux patina for the lume. With ALL of these criteria met with a single watch, I'll be first in line at the Boutique 😀

165.024, like everybody else. 😀




Exactly. If I was in charge of Omega we'd have this in black and one in navy blue, with the option for date or no date. I would shut down the Planet Ocean line and the Heritage 300 line and this would replace both. I'd keep the Seamaster Professional 300m and that would be the "modern" looking diver.

Hit the nail on the head. Such a good looking reference. A bezel that you can actually grip when you have wet hands. Make it in a size that fits a large number of wrist sizes (39-40mm case diameter and 45-46mm lug-to-lug). Paired with a modern co-axial movement. I'd take it in a heartbeat.

First Gen PO 42mm ditch the date and add a small GMT hand.

2254.50 like everybody else
Or something with an Anchor on the dial.

Or something dirty, dont need a dozen.

I see I have limited taste.

Thats probably the winner…

I also would love to see that again. I also think that this would the only modern one i would buy.

Lots of these are skewing to "fantasy" or "perfect for me" watches, which will show how hard it is to design and release a watch that is "good enough"or liked enough so enough can be sold. Even reissues/reimaginings are dicey.

I just want a 2254.50; painted indices, sword hands, brass and aluminum (traditional materials), great lume, and a 165/166.024 reissue. They already reissued my favorite Speedmaster - the -69 ST - although I'd have preferred a plain hippocampus case back.

135.011 Seamaster 600 red crosshair dial with red logo. This was my first Omega—a 1965–and I regret selling it. But the smaller size (34-ish mm) just didn’t work on my wrist. Would love to see one made identically with modern tech on the frame of the new De Ville line—40mm.

Assuming they did it right and didn’t print a bunch of extra crap on the dial, I’d be first in line.

The original 42 mm size wears like a 40 mm, so I would not change a thing about it. The lug-to-lug is already somewhere between 47 and 48mm. There’s no reason to make it smaller IMO. Just don’t make it larger!

And make it the big triangle version!

Personally if they made a 40/41mm version of the ND monochrome Seamaster with a 47mm L2L potential sword hands & a reduced HeV with a bracelet that fits flush and tapers, oh no fully lumed bezel.

Take my money.

Currently my wish list changes daily between a Speedy 3861 sapphire sandwich or the Seamaster
