Is it basicly the Seamaster with a new face and back?

Wasnt it time for a new generation of Seamaster?

I am a bit underwhelmed, was hoping for more that a facelift, but they look ok I guess.

Snoopy I just about understand, but I really don't get why anyone would drop £7.5k on a watch adorned with a logo from a mediocre action film franchise.

Hang on.
You could drop 10x that on the Platinum/ Gold / Alligator version.

Edit 2: you get the (cheaper / "basic"!) goodie or baddies watch too plus a bracelet and cufflinks for that price.

It might just be me but I can't stand the mesh bracelet.

Neither can I. But it does seem Omega are going this way. Maybe a complete overhaul when they do update the Seamaster range.

Now I do prefer the Breitling mesh on the SuperOcean heritage, how it fits flush with the case.

Interesting, they don't even show the limited ones on the fancy Spectre front page do they? I had no idea about them, had to sort the Diver category by highest price first to find them.

Those dials look awesome. Would be very interested to see what they look like in real world and not renders.

Absolutely wild. Still, there's one born every minute as they say...

So tacky and embarrassing. Can you imagine Rolex selling something like this? Smh Omega.

Interesting that they’re bringing back limited editions.
Thought the Apollo XI 50th was the last one.

£320. "Currently unavailable online. Please join the wish list."

The watch industry has been in the Emperors New Clothes phase for a few years already, but 2026 is taking it bigliest!

I like the NTTD better than all of these, but sold mine because the bracelet just didn't work for me, and I hate straps and aftermarket stuff.

Yeah the NTTD is super nice, probably the best model of this SMP generation. Sort of sucks it's titanium though because you can't put the proper bracelet on it, although the mesh does sort of suit it at least.

Otherwise I'd go the recent black version of the aluminium 60th design. But I'd put the standard bracelet on it. This guy from Reddit did it. I wouldn't go as far as saying this is a modern Peter Blake or anything, but it's about as close as we're gonna get it seems.

The bonus is two of watches, this is an afterthought but Rolex doesn’t sell you cufflinks either 🤷, omega missed the mark, rather than a bracelet it should had been a ring but getting it to fit universal sizes would be impossible.

Either way we will never see this in person, since they are 77 units only worldwide, talk about extremely limited.

IMHO (as I don’t like titanium nor the Walty Mitty / Bond paraphernalia on the NTTD) this is the best current Seamaster out. (Unit Watch doesn’t count , as not available for us mere mortals). Closely followed by the Seaweed. Monochrome retro inspired, Seaweed modern.

A stunning lack of imagination...did they fire all the engineers and hire more marketing people?

The Bond 60th Anniversary watch was much better than these two.

Does anyone know why the l2l is longer, or are they just rounding up?

Agreed! it at least had the case back animation to make it more interesting...

I find these rather disappointing and rather lazy on the part of Omega. The only minor highlight is the gun barrel pattern on the platinum models. Also, I know many love the mesh bracelets, but I hope this is not their plan going forward for the Seamaster line. I far prefer the standard bracelet both in looks and the fact that it has micro adjust.
