I got one in my Citizen diver, dont look as good as a Seamaster 😀 and it shows water temperature, not air temp. Good for settling the old question " how cold is this water really?" when out swimming.

Wow throwback. I had a Casio Dep 600 when I was like 15 or so, think sold it for £50 about 10yrs later

From W.O.E Instagram page.

See no dates rock

Could it be the lighting or is it truly gray?

Think more the lighting, although from what understand the bezel is matte & brushed case no polished bits.

Pretty sure it's the service issue/unit Seamaster 210.30.42.20.01.003 with weird lighting. Notice the subtle brushing on the bezel and the off white lume and bezel markings, which match this reference. Plus, "watchesofespionage" is the poster. They'd be much more likely to show an existing unit watch than a new generation.

The only detail which looks different is the shade of the dial, but given this is a matte grey dial, it might just reflect light at the right angle.

The one I posted isn’t the new expected model, but as @Jakeys pointed out the service issue one that Watches of Espionage have talked about a few times. (But with funky lighting).

I did read on instagram someone mentioned to expected 2 new models on the announcement though.

Would buy this in a heartbeat if regular production

Have to say—I agree it’s just a trick of the lighting, but that image makes me want a gray dial, black bezel.

A grey dial, like the green did, would very much get my attention.

Maybe I’m right about two different sizes. Or they’ll release a 200k Canopus gold model again that no one will buy

@Donn Chambers I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet but in response to your comment, I can fairly clearly read co-axial Master chronometer on the dial of this watch in a couple of the promotion shots. Going backwards from the coax escapement, which the majority of average watch enthusiast people (the reddit omegawatches group is a good example) think is inherently superior, makes absolutely no sense from a marketing standpoint. Also from a marketing standpoint, competing downwards makes zero sense. Omega should be doing everything in their power to encourage the perception that people who can't afford an Omega settle for Tudor ( just as there is a perception that people who cannot afford a Rolex settle for tudor), no matter how false that may be.

Not sure about the rest. Less expensive would be nice, but if someone could correct me if I'm wrong I actually think the old style dial was hand cut as opposed to machine-laser carved?

Going to be disappointment all round isn’t it!

Yes. I'm not sure the genesis of a 1 to 2mm smaller SMP, but it always seemed unlikely to me. It doesn't make sense in the portfolio. Something of a newer design than the heritage and trilogy SM300, but not as "capable" as the current SMP or SMPPO seems more likely to me in the future. Still a few days left, though. Could still be a surprise.

Yesterday when I picked the new FOIS, the manager confirmed that new seamaster should arrive very soon. Iam on the waiting list.

I think it was just floated because it looked smaller on DC's wrist. Probably a combo of that and the reasonably common sentiment that the current gen is too big and could do with a smaller size causing a bit of wishful thinking.

I want it to be 40 mm, 41 mm tops, but expect it will just be 42 mm. I think the only reason people are going to be disappointed is that they hyped it the same way they did the white Speedy, so people expected a similarly interesting reference. But actually... the white Speedy is also a redial so I guess Omega would be thinking hey it's more of the same, what's the issue! 😁

Just picked up my FOIS at my "local" boutique 200 miles away. The new one is a planet ocean, she said 39 or 40 mm.
