I was looking forward to seeing this watch but I have to say that I was a little disappointed due to the size and overall weight of the watch, so far the ceramic case 300 is my favourite from the current bunch.

 

30% off in January sales at Goldsmiths etc. Awful

 

Which one, the new chrono, or the black ceramic?

 

I like the ceramic also. A nice watch. If I didn’t already have a ceramic watch that would be the one.

 

Looked at one of these as well as a GSOM when I bought my 38mm Speedmaster on Thursday, they were both freaking MASSIVE on my 7" wrist. I thought the Speedmaster Gray Side of The Moon was stunningly beautiful, if it was 40-42mm, I would have been tempted. Omega seems to be getting into Invicta-sized watches, I'd like to see them trend towards 40-42mm, I think the huge watch trend is a passing thing. I'm looking forward to wearing my new 38mm Speedmaster.

 

How much more cumbersome on the wrist are these over the Planet Ocean chronographs? I would imagine that unlike the PO, the lack of a tapering bracelet would make it feel even bigger on the wrist, even though it's probably like 1/2 a mm thinner

 

This watch is going to feel much better on the rubber strap, but it's still going to be big, but even so it's not something that I would buy.

 

Not a fan of these at all - the waves seem to clash with the sub-dials and it all looks a bit messy.

 

Agree. Nothing about this design makes visual or ergonomic sense to me. Chrono subdial placement, proximity of subdials to indices, waves/subdials, chrono dial markings and pusher placement. Just an oddly-designed watch that neither works as a chrono or a diver, IMO.

 

Not a fan, face is clashing with that color combo. Looks Terrible.

These are better in my view:



Obviously, doesn't fix the size and weight issues though..

 

Agreed on these dials being better than the blue. As a grey dial Dive owner, I am jealous of the minute track on the chrono. I feel it would've really been perfect on the non-chrono version. For the blue, Omega should've went with silver/grey ringed registers.

 

I dunno... diver chronos just seem like a watch trying to be too many things at once. I'd rather have a good diver and a good chrono, that both things together in the same clumsy design.

 

Agree with the assessment. I saw these at my OB this weekend, and boy are they heavy! Perhaps it would feel better on a rubber strap or a NATO...? On the other hand, I saw the new PO...the new orange bezel & white face were growing on me!
