And also two caliber versions 8400/8401?
Looks like pricing has been confirmed at CHF 5500 ($6,200). I'm wondering if there's a strap option that starts out as the lowest price option.
I don't need a car anyway. A watch is cheaper to mantain. This will be my first modern in like a year.
Probably will be options, there usually are, but in this case it might be easier if you like all brushed to just satin brush it, much like GMT-Master II owners do, it wouldn't take much effort for a watchmaker to take care of.
Does anyone know if the blue model pictured in the display is a limited run "platinum" model, or will be a regular offering? From the photo, the blue one also seems to have less of that simulated "patina" on the dial, but that might just be the angle at which it was photographed.
It's clear that this one must be seen 'in the metal' to fully judge. The simulated patina of the black dial one seems, to me at least, a little strange in a watch with polished center links. The micro adjustment clasp on the bracelet was wwaayy way overdue, though.
There are TWO versions of this watch that are quite different, I don't quite know whether one is an earlier prototype and the other is production, or if they are both being produced but the one on the right is definitely the cooler of the two IMHO
Maybe one is the "modern" and one is the "vintage" styled SM300? The one on the right is the version in ALL the Omega official material so you would assume its the one they'll be selling, and if it is, I want one!
