Agree. Fingers crossed. The PO is funny since it actually exists (ed?) in 37,5. But it felt like a hockey puck because of the thickness. The whole thing became quite unproportional.
Something coming in the new year, per this article...
The Inside Story of How Omega Watches Blew up 2022 (esquire.com)
Nice read! Looking forward to the reveal. Any guess of what it might be?
The last line, 'make people smile,' takes me straight to something goofy with Alain Silberstein 🙄
Practically speaking, they've added a ton of stuff to the Speedy, Seamaster, and De Ville lines, so maybe Connies are next? Some sort of re-imagined vintage piece methinks. Nice lil skeletonised hand-cranker would be peachy.
>>“I should not tell you,” Aeschlimann says. “But already, by the end of January, we will have a new state-of-the-art watch which will have a very big value for the watch industry. We’ll come with a new innovation. Because it’s part of us. We make products that make people smile.”
The "new innovation" bit makes me curious. With Omega that could mean so many different things lol. My first thought is maybe some kind of new GMT, since its been a while since they released a proper GMT other than the world timer.

This, new innovation, big value.
Not so sure it'll be GMT related. That doesn't seem innovative enough, or a large impact on the watch industry.
This sounds more like materials, eg the bio ceramic in the Swatch. A new or cheaper complication?
Big value could mean more affordable or more useful technology.
Whatever it is, sounds intriguing.
