·If this is real, then I think it could work as a less bling / more tool version of the Aqua Terra. If that's the intent, then consistency would suggest that the bracelet center link not be polished.

·Why are ANY of the 3 handers more expensive than a Longines? The materials/manufacturing/etc have little/nothing to do with the prices, its entirely prestige and the market.
Presumably they believe the AT is aiming more at a "guy who wears a suit, so needs 'costly' watch", and the divers as a "weekend watch, so not as premium".

··Seamasters ForeverThe dial appears to have almost the exact same texture and gradient as the teal aquaterra, except that it is in grayscale.
@Quisquetempus what is your source for this image?

·Well that’s ugly.
The previous Railmaster is one of the most underrated Omegas in my opinion. This is a big downgrade IMO.
Also, it doesn’t have co-axial or master chronometer on the dial which seems odd. That has me leaning towards skeptical.

·AT also has a date typically. But yeah, another 1200 for a nicer dial and date seems excessive.

That's perhaps not that surprising, the trilogy kept dial text minimal. The current Heritage line keeps the dial text minimal. That is in keeping with the original railmaster, which also kept the dial text minimal.
I'm not convinced that this is real for the simple reason that it appears to be A 38 millimeter Aqua Terra, except for the dial and bezel. If the dial is a generated image it's a very good one, so who knows.

·First when I saw the picture I was kinda disappointed. Im my mind I was picturing the new Railmaster more toolish more like the flight qualified. It seems that it is not the case.
Now I start to like it . Maybe the vintage / tool vibe path wasn't the best approach for this model.

·This would be quite a surprise to me, given the handset are the older hidden sword hands from the 2000s (same hidden sword hands as are on the OG Planet Ocean). It's pretty quirky, though it's among my favorite easter eggs on those watches. (the sword hands are the lume plots, reversed from the normal orientation they were on vintage Seamasters)

I saw that as well- it's the same hand style used on the 2012 39.2mm railmaster. (image from fratello, ref is 2503.52). Most of the dial styling, as well. There's a lot of chatter around this watch as the best thing Omega has created to compete directly with the explorer, and it definitely has something of a cult following.

··Nowhere near as grumpy as he used to be...This is the third source I’ve heard this from in 2 weeks. All are matching data from different unrelated sources. 38mm automatic movement.
Expect other color variations… and announcement on 5/15

··Nowhere near as grumpy as he used to be...Oh? Curious about the other 2 sources! Can you share?
But all say 5/15 38mm Railmaster with an automatic movement.
2 of the sources state multiple color variations.

Honestly it follows. The image is clearly not AI generated and if it is a fake, it is an incredibly well done one. The styling matches the 2012 railmaster quite well. 38mm, with the heritage/vintage touches, would make it a great subset of the aquaterra line and also would keep with omega's continued re-establishment of the Heritage look defined by shark tooth markers and inset numerals.
If this is indeed real it's a decent indication that Omega is paying attention to the portions of the base that loved the 2012 railmaster and prefer the handset style from that and the first generation Planet ocean. I know some people like the latter railmaster, but I could never quite gel with the industrial, modern, chunky look that it had.
It's also a good continuation of the sort of gradient dial style that was restarted by the 75th anniversary seamasters. In a way, this might be Omega firmly following their current design language in the Heritage styling, just as they've been pretty firmly following the design language of the Seamaster professional line with recent releases.

The multi-colored dials makes me fear that we're about to get the full AT 'colors' treatment of the Railmaster, but I'm sure they'll be a decent seller for those who are scared by the AT price but like the shape/size/style.
