    I really like the new Seamaster 300 but it was pretty much known after the leaks already. The bracelet looks great imho! But is this all? No new Planet Ocean models?

    Too bad that "Grey Ghost" nickname is already taken by Seiko SBCZ005, that ceramic Diver 300m looks very grey-ghostly.

    Really hoped to see a new PO!
    The blue Seamaster is nice, but it would have been really great if it didn't have the fauxtina...

    I agree! This look, this bracelet but with white Super Luminova and I would immediately buy one.

    My only problem with the Seamaster is the aluminum bezel. I know they wanted to go heritage but i would have preferred the ceramic bezel.

    This new Tresor manual wind with power reserve is a very pretty watch, reminds me a lot of the Cal 320 OT2872 of the 50s, very clean and simple yet elegant.

    The Calibre 8935 Balance bridge being rose gold in a yellow gold case is a bit weird as Karina mentions, but overall thats a really nice piece. Maybe an applied Omega logo would have kicked it up a bit further too but the minimalism on the dial is nice.

    This is apparently some special grade aluminium with ceramic-like hardness. And with lumed numerals :)

    The lumed numerals is cool but yea that aluminium worries me a bit. It’s not the aluminium but the paint that comes off unless it’s the anodising that’s some special process. I think I’d still like a Ploprof style sapphire or ceramic bezel more on it.

    Seems to be a slight price increase over the previous model, they claim in the video review that the steel version on steel bracelet will be priced at 6500 euro, or 6100 euro on a leather strap.

    Hmm not sure I like any of those. I was hoping for an updated PO this year. And I far prefer the old Seamaster 300 MC. Maybe they’ll phase in the announcements and the PO will come later?

    Wow, I like the bronze gold more than expected. Definitely has some Bond Seamaster vibes with the color scheme.

    Unfortunately they overshot on pricing imho - 11k+ For 8k gold is steep unless you really appreciate metallurgy. More so a reflection of how I think the market will receive that price point than a commentary on the quality of the piece. Will it be viewed as a bronze watch with gold pricing?

    Yea I tend to not be a fan of date on manual wind watches, due to their nature and inability to go on a regular winder they tend to run down often and any complication that takes longer to set makes it harder to pick it up and put it on your wrist in a collection so from that perspective I do understand why they made the decision

    Had the same thought. Seems like a downgrade over the prior version.

    I think it is a nice update, but for me personally, I am disappointed not to see a GMT in any of the line up. I am a big fan of the Bronze though! As usual, Mr. @AntonisCy always on point! Thank you!
