·Was already virtually confirmed anyway but to remove any doubt, it is absolutely a first gen wave dial. Fratello has uploaded the best image yet:
Agree with them as well the bezel ring looks matte. There's no way they'd go to aluminium for a standard model so it's either matte ceramic or some kind of limited/special edition. I'd guess the former.

·The thickness of the current Diver 300M is 13.6 mm.
The thickness of the NTTD is 13.0 mm. This is probably because the movement is flatter, as it has no date.
The glass of the NTTD is more curved (higher) than that of the 60th anniversary James Bond.
if the new Diver 300M is a mix of the NTTD and the 60th anniversary James Bond (the best of both worlds), then the new Diver 300M might actually be thinner than the current generation.
Perhaps even less than 13mm if the glass of the new Diver 300M corresponds to that of the 60th anniversary James Bond.

·Well they did for the blue 60th and this looks awfully like a black rehash of that. It is otherwise identical
That's what I mean though, if this were the new standard issue intended to replace the current generation of mainline Diver 300M references, I doubt they'd drop the ceramic bezel and revert to aluminium. Alu makes sense for the 60th as a throwback anniversary edition, but it is objectively inferior to ceramic from a performance perspective. I think they'd get a lot of complaints if all divers dropped their ceramic bezels, there's no reason to do that. I'd sooner think they'd do a matte ceramic, or this is another special edition like the 60th.
Also, the seconds hand is different from the 60th, and it reverts to a standard bezel pip and triangle at 12. But otherwise yes agreed this is mostly a black 60th, and it may still be some kind of special edition. I'm leaning that way personally.

·Realistically even if it does meet all our wildest dreams, I won't buy it because I'll never part with my GoldenEye and I don't need two Seamaster Pro divers. But I would love to see a Seamaster that good in the lineup anyway. I never quite liked the ceramic wave dial, felt too cluttered and chunky. Seems to be the trend, Rolex did something similar a while ago with their maxi cases.
I really feel like the SMP should remain a sleeker, almost dressy diver like the first gen, and the Planet Ocean is better suited to the tanky tool diver. But that's just me.
(my kids are enjoying that game currently...they appreciate the vintage graphics)

·I am starting to think that this is new standard issue SMP Diver 300M. I think this will replace the current generation and will also be available in other colours with optional tank/milanese bracelets.
What's in the movement remains to be seen, but SMP Diver 300M is due an update this year which puts Omega right on schedule.
Only time will tell if I am right.

·Always a lot of wishful thinking when Omega teases these new releases like this. I might as well add to it ... I hope they skip the display back give us something similar to the NTTD.

Agreed, display casebacks are nice but Rolex have proven to us they aren't necessary especially if it contributes to keeping the watch profile slimmer.

Also agreed, and would like to see no date window as well. Always thought I preferred one on my watches but opinion changed of late, both for aesthetic reasons and failing eyesight which means I often can't read the damn things anyway.

·For the (incalculably) little it’s worth, I’m not convinced that the bezel is matte ceramic or aluminum. In the pics I’ve seen, the matte effect strikes me as an artifact of image enlarging and sharpening.

·It’s all aluminum, it has to be, the Bond 60th was just a 007 version of this watch but the regular watch should be aluminum as well as the dial. Reason being is that the wave dial and bezel really give it a low profile unlike the ceramic bezel that shines, but really though I was thinking about the regular lollipop version of this watch and who knows maybe this is the new seamaster redesign and the 60th and the NTTD are the early repaints!
Should be pretty easy to produce in higher numbers considering I’m guessing it won’t have the animated caseback.
Either way I already phoned my OB and they didn’t even know about it and had to google it to believe me.
The matte finish grows on you after a while giving it a low sleek profile that makes the hands stick out more than usual with the chromed dial IMHO, but it’s still hilarious that they used Daniel’s Craig James Bond picture in his Omega ID lololol

·I'd be okay with an aluminum bezel. Ceramic is a beautiful material but I've just never been convinced that it's the "right" material for an insert and I don't attach the "premium" adjective to it. I know, I know, I'm in the small majority. I also am one for a solid case back, but not for thickness reduction reasons. I do like the display back on my green Seamaster but practically, just put a solid case back on it. I just like relatively unadorned case backs. I'd even swap a Speedmaster Moon case back for a plain one if I got a new Speedmaster and there was one available. If they do a solid case back, aluminum insert, sword hands, small waves, date at 6, keep the rest of the modern details, add a nice bracelet like a 1610, 1450, something and I'd be interested.

·I can't do much for the case dimensions or price but for the black no wave no date dial with ceramic bezel and bracelet options, how about...
I think this is more accurate to what Daniel is wearing, but we know what milanese bracelets look like already so I've mocked it up on a tapered Bond bracelet. I personally prefer the wave dial to plain, but accept I'm probably in the minority. I will say though, if it loses some weight, I'd prefer this over an equivalent Rolex Sub hands down.
Would love an inky black dial variation sans waves. But as already posted looks to be an un-Bond variation of the 60th in black.

·Another photo has been released. This does have a wave dial, and it definitely appears to have smaller lug to Lug and case dimensions.
Edit: just caught up on the conversation here since last night.
