·I can’t see there being a thinner case unless they use a solid back. I’ve seen nothing to suggest the 8806 is any thinner than the 8800. The date wheel is recessed, not stuck on top. Maybe it is thinner but I don’t think so.
the normal production 300m is 13.6mm.
based on the pics, it looks like the case and domed crystal of the NTTD (but steel), with the smaller wave dial of the 60th (but black).

·Feel free to demonstrate
https://www.omegawatches.com/watch-...axial-master-chronometer-40-mm-43413402010001
So they CAN do it! 8800 mvmt and one of the cheapest Omega in the catalog.
9,9 mm.
Even with open caseback.

Not a dive watch certified to 100meters though, and that does make a difference

·Would like to see a Seamaster 300m around 12mm. If that's impossible I would be happy with a 200m. Just make it 12mm so it sits flatter on the wrist. The Aqua Terra Luxury/Fashion model (the new black 41 / the new moonshine golds) don't need to be 13,4mm either if it was up to me.
The 38mm aqua terra comes close to 12.
But yeah that's Omega.

12mm is thinner than a Submariner, and a Submariner has already slightly turned the corner from thinning case & case back as much as possible to also sacrificing bezel and crystal height. Flat crystals are boring, and obnoxious, and while I'm not a fan of the SMP chonnnnnk bezel and lack of any sort of traditional coin or gear style edge, I also don't think that the bezel has to be thinned out as much as a sub's bezel.
Fine, the AT should be closer to 12, 12.5mm thick, especially because of the lack of dive bezel. But neither anorexic dive watches nor anorexic people are attractive.
EDIT: This probably comes across slightly more harsh than is necessary and I also realize that the highly-respected and attractive 2254 comes in at about 12mm thick, so it's not like it's impossible for Omega to pull this off. However, I still don't believe that "thinness at any cost" is the way to go, as it does impact design. I don't suppose anyone will ever agree totally on this topic.

·The regular 300m thickness is fine. It's not a dress watch.

Every single 3 hand SMP model up until 2006 was thinner than 12mm with 300m rating AFAIR. Its certainly not impossible.

·Don´t wish to spoil the expactations, but I think it´s likely the DC secret watch would look something like this one, https://www.omegawatches.com/watches/seamaster/diver-300-m/america-s-cup-edition/product

·Ceramic dial adds thickness, and the handstack for the 300m is quite tall (lot of vertical space between hands).
How much thicker is a ceramic dial compared to a brass or aluminum one?

·My understanding is that brass/aluminum dials are typically around half a millimeter thick. The ceramic dials, comprised of a ceramic layer with a brass backing, can be 1-1.5mm thick because of the additional layering and the fact that the ceramic layer must be thick enough to not shatter.
That's fairly significant.

Curious how NTTD and the Bond 60th moved to aluminum dials and bezels that give them a matte finish. The real winner is the bezels but I’m also curious if the lume on the exterior of the watch has extra thickness because how they did it, is marvelous I think
