Quite honestly, I'd be more impressed if it was 300M water resistance for this price range.

I don't find it to be a versatile watch at the $35k-$40k range with 150M. Ultra-light is cool, but this isn't Richard Mille. Granted, RM would be another $100k on top, so maybe this is a decent price.

I think that it is a very good design exercise but at £37k that is Patek Philippe Annual calendar money.

I was just about to post the same! Fascinating watch, with a ridiculous price tag. Hard to justify that price, even if titanium were a precious metal!

But most of all, I am curious if this watch legitimately would be safe for wear during golf. The impact of a golf swing is incredible, especially a bad golf swing 😀 If it truly works for golf, then they may have something here....

For golf I prefer to take a watch that was also built for it.

Yes it is.
Fun stuff, I havent seen that piece before!

All that said, for this new Omega's price tag, it would have to be truly shock-proof...

Very valuable attitude towards aesthetics, a step forward in several aspects. It is this what makes me a fan of Omega, not lazy to take a chance and progress, just the opposite in Rolex, or am I wrong?.

I think it is pretty amazing that the movement is a titanium movement! I applaud Omega for making a piece with such unique features, but that price! I would rather get a platinum piece for that price since we all know platinum is a precious metal. Gamma Titanium? I'm not quite so sure...but this watch is a stunner for me! Thanks for posting @AntonisCy !

"Ultra Light" - "Built with less weight and more comfort in mind, OMEGA’s striking new sports watch has achieved its on unique fit and feel. It’s the ideal companion for any game you play and weighs just 55 grams on its sporty fabric strap. (72 HOURSPOWER RESERVE, Manual Winding)"

Just to compare the specs i put a ~25 year old Stainless Steel Blancpain Leman (on Hirsch Leather strap) on a weighing-machine. It is an Automatic caliber with 2 Spring barrels and 100 hours power reserve, as well as 100m Water resistance.

Does this mean that your watch is now worth £37,000+ 😁

I had a hard look at it, so while this is an ordinary piece and not a limited edition, I reckon it could jolly well be driven by market forces to be a truly extraordinary limited edition piece with a grand total of one piece made of each type and left in the showroom awaiting the call of its first customer decades from now.
