Just saw a random article that claimed there will be a new 2020 PO with "more orange"
Does this mean an orange bezel PO?

Platinum GMT you mean?
Last year they introduced a steel PO with full ceramic bezel insert.
Sadly it is 43.5m and is tall.

I’m half wondering if there will be some sort of textured dial. The SMP went from a non-textured dial to textured. I personally think the move to textured (waves) made the dial look a lot more up-market. I’d love a PO with texture.

Edit: OP, was this what you spotted? I can’t even spot the difference. https://hypebeast.com/2020/4/omega-seamaster-planet-ocean-600m-2020

I fail to see any difference between the one shown in the link and the current model. Is there any other link perhaps?

Agreed, I'm failing to see the change for 2020 as well (doesn't mean there isn't one, of course)... I thought the rubberized orange part on the bezel had been around for a few years though and then found this person's review of their new PO, back in 2017. Looks like the one from the hypebeast article that's supposed to have changed for 2020. https://omegaforums.net/threads/my-new-planet-ocean-8900-orange.51549/

Yes, mr smith, I agree with you. The one on the thread from 2017 is one and the same watch. Maybe the OP can enlighten us with the article he mentions.

So they cracked the orange ceramic bezel problem and found a way to make it cheaper?

I understand they have difficulty doing so hence made available in Pt cases.
