    Omega head on with Rolex OP, only it'll be available, hopefully..
    They all are very colourful and attractive dials especially the saffron color, that's much closer to salmon.
    I think I'll have hard time choosing among these.

    Am I the only one saddened by this case of shameless me-too-ism from our favorite brand of them all?!?!

    If you're referring to Rolex then I'd rather say that I'm on waiting list for a year or more for OP 36mm yellow dial, and there is no response yet from the boutique here...
    Omega should be available for me to buy.

    I am disappointed with this new release. Not because it's close to the Rolex OPs but I just don't think the light colours go well with sunburst effect. The design looks a bit dated and not very well executed in my humble opinion. But glad that some of us are excited with the new models and like the updates. Have fun!

    Still prefer the AT case over the OP, but the teak dial seems like the foundational element of the modern AT design. These seem more like "fashion watches" to me, albeit beautifully-finished ones. Swing and a miss for me, but no doubt there's a market.

    Again a torrent of new watches from Omega. I sometimes feel that each watch is less special when so many variations are released.

    I don’t think the date window is very well executed and like one pointed out I also think the sunburst effect looks a little of place with those colours.

    Oh well, good that someone likes them, just not for me

    It's a shame that Omega is copying every Rolex step.

    Amen. I’m certain the next SpeedyTuesday will be Tiffany and will out-Tiffany the Tiffany because truly nobody has done that yet and nobody will see it coming.

    A single release of a salmon dial would of been nice instead.

    Not a very good execution in my humble opinion...
    would have liked framed or stepped date windows, at least.

    has anyone noticed that the 41mm is now cheaper than the 38mm on the website? The new 38mm is inferior by power reserve, change date option, and the most obvious the dial is smaller without the teak. The are basically the same movement without the date change.. there’s something wrong with the pricing

    Frankly I love these and perhaps the most lovable thing is that they go head-to-head with the OP colorways from last year. People love these fun colors so why should Omega not get in on the action? And the fact that you will be able to actually walk into a boutique and buy one in real time without a giant waiting list is even better news. I don't see myself getting one but I certainly understand the appeal. Meanwhile, I'm trying to hold myself back from running into traffic to get one of the new '57 Speedy's that also dropped today. 40mm, new hand-wound movement, chronometer, new bracelet, Holy Smokes!

    I'm a fan of the Atlantic Blue and Saffron dials. The entire case being polished scares me a bit... But it won't stop me from checking it out at the OB

    I have no problem with Omega chasing the Rolex colorways. The colorful OP's were a smash hit so Omega is smart to get on that train. They are in business to make money and this is a good way to do it. That said, I'm very happy with my Spectre-era blue dial AT so nothing here will tempt me.

    I will also note that Omega switched from a 19/17 taper to a 19/16 taper. I love that. It's a very small change but now gives the bracelet a more elegant look.
