I’m not sure who Omega thinks will be interested in these with a price of $14,800 and thickness of 17 mm. Not anyone I can think of…

Im starting to think they are purposefully releasing this crap because we are asking for the opposite. We need to change strategy and start saying we want big & thick watches and they better be super expensive as well.

Can’t imagine too many customers will want a 600m dive watch with a World Time function. The design team must be smoking something.

I like em, dont think I'd buy them given what else I could get at that price, but they look good to me. 18.99mm is super thick though.. thicker than my ultra deep.

And to be fair, people have been asking for a new GMT diver haha.

Someone at Omega really likes that teal color but is too afraid to pair it with silver hands/markers to give it that Tiffany vibe and make the market go crazy.

3 ceramic POs and a new AT (in two sizes) with that color

If this was the size of a rolex GMT master II, it would be an INSTANT buy. Thankfully, Omega is saving me money this go around.

There have been some very interesting design choices as of late. I am so happy to not be shopping for a watch at the moment...this one is a hard pass!

Move GMT to the heritage line and leave world timer on the AT line. And when this works (which it would) Omega can pay me for the idea.

why...but why they do not focus on a simple PO below 14mm thickness...anyone remember the POLMLE?, that was the road to kill a SUB...the only one....they lost it...

The size is a shame, that teal one looks absolutely amazing. But even in black lightweight ceramic, the PO45.5 is just a lump on the wrist.

I'd love to try one on, just to see the size of it in person.

I think it all started with the Casamigos PO (which I'm proud to own):

Then came the NZ PO Chrono, turquoise AT, and now this.

I really do like this color scheme but the price and size.. My PO here is the same 45.5mm but "only" 17mm thick and I already avoid wearing it in the winter because the thickness makes it annoying to wear with winter jackets.

Maybe if this new PO was closer to 10k I'd go for it.

Omega's answer to a question no-one was asking.

I still can't believe they haven't done a simple Seamaster Pro Diver 300M GMT. Massive hole in their lineup thats been ignored for decades.

This is bigger (and uglier) than a Rangeman! WTF are they thinking?

I just saw the Summer Blue World Timer AT, and it is a knock-out as well! IMO, Blue, Summer Blue, and and the Green are all gorgeous.
