Dropped by my super friendly AD Tourbillion in SF today just to browse & look at watches:agree:
& they showed me these beauties👍 from my understanding these are samples or maybe even prototypes:read:

i like the watch. too bad they don't have a no date offering.

the large date version looks poorly conceived.

do you now the cost?

looks like a bigger modern version of the 60/70's skin diver case....those older cases are sized right, too bad brands don't want to go that small,...yet.

the 43 looks like it's sized like a beast

I looked at the blue and actually couldn't find the date at first because I wasn't expecting the date ring to be the same color as the dial, that and the thin fine font of the numbers.
A tasteful way to make the date easy to see at a glance, but only when you know where to look, without being too obtrusive.

On a couple of my watches the date windows and numbers are too small and the 1 in a two digit number often gets lost in the border.

I never saw much use in a date window on a dive watch, its not like you'd expect to be down there for days at a time. Saturation divers being the exception.

I always forget GO is a sister brand to Omega.

I think these are stunning, I just wish they took the font size down a notch a or two on the dial furniture.

I watched Chris's review on Horology House and now I'm on a mission to locate a SeaQ Panorama Date. I think the blue is my preference
since I own 12 dive watches and only two are blue. My AD is telling me they are hard to find and GO told him no estimated ship date for new orders. I just missed a smoking deal over at WUS.... Mint condition still under warranty for $ 6850
