    That has to be a typo, unless you're referring to the diamond & steel versions. Prices start at $5,200 US.

    Seriously these are fugly.
    Two, Omega give us a damn watch that isn't a new colour or variation of speed master and seamaster. I mean come the f on.

    We rant AP for being a one watch wonder. Omega is pretty darn close for being 1.5 hit wonder.

    I am an Omega fan and own more Omega than anything else.

    Aimed to the female clients I suppose... with a Tachymètre bezel as mostly used by female clients I guess
    :thumbsdown:
    A decent 38 mm Speedmaster (e.g. with a "60 minutes bezel") would be a good option for people with smaller wrists.
    Disappointed with the brand, I haven't been wearing an Omega since 2019 , call my Grumpy Crabby & all those things !

    Since 2019? :whipped:

    A decent gmt master with a no clicks revolving bezel, equipped with lume and an automatic locking device to prevent accidental movement, would be a good option for a connaisseur.

    Not a fan either but as everyone said, we're not the target audience.

    I am neither a diplomat nor a politician, so I can say, these models are horrendous. This aesthetic sense of Omega scares us fans.

    Watches must move from tools to jewelry to remain relevant in the long term; let Omega do its thing.

    Agree, that and the female market which many sources indicate purchase more luxury watches than males (or spend more overall at any rate). The narrow minded nature of many never fails to rear its head. Not every watch release is designed to appeal to this forum alone ;).

    Bling-bling aside, 38mm is a good fit for those of us with smaller wrists. As long as they don't use those hideous oval subdials, I'm happy.

    And yes, watches tell time but really they are jewelry. Otherwise, why would we care so much about how they look?
