+1 for the strap. I’ve never liked that bracelet personally. Looks great on the rubber and natos both!!

When I tried it on, I found the links to be too big. Couldn't get that wrist wraparound I look for in a bracelet. Granted my wrists are 6.2-6.3 inches and flat on top. I think the watch itself can work on a smaller wrist but the bracelet didn't feel great. It also pinched my hair. Even with the PUSH micro adjustment, I had no joy whatsoever. I sold my bro-in-law's bracelet this morning for £480 - basically brand new. Buyer got himself an absolute bargain!

I have had a black Seamaster Diver that I bought new earlier this year from my AD. Shortly after I bought the white on on bracelet since it looked absolutely captivating in photos. I sold it 2 weeks after I received it. IMO the white one looks way better in photos and I just preferred the black one in every way. Maybe this would have been different had I gotten the white one on the black strap so there would have been more of a contrast. I tried to love it but it just didn't work out for me in the end.

Oh no! The white one is amazing! I mean you can't go wrong with the black one either - that's a staple. But damn that's a shame that you didn't bond with the white one. Having seen my brother's in the flesh - the white is just different. It is definitely loud, but it is also equally elegant and sporty.

If I had to buy one for myself - I'd get the white first and the blue second. I saw the black one in the AD earlier this year and didn't dig it as much as the others. The ceramic on all 4 dial options is fantastic though.

As much as I love the black, the blue is just insane and I wish I got the blue instead. The blue changes colors like a chameleon depending on the light

I'm not usually a white dial fan but Omega has done a great job with the new SMP. The wave dial provides additional depth and contrast to prevent the white dial from looking to stark or washed out.

This just has me thinking that in an ideal world, I'd probably have all 4 colours haha. Theres something about the grey one I really like - not an everyday/every outfit piece - but just a fun weekend/summer watch.

So true. The ceramic white has so much clarity.

The contrast of the black rubber vs the white dial vs the black bezel is a true one-off in the luxury diver market. I'm looking to buy the rubber strap right now.

I will be getting the SMP white as soon as our lockdown is over as I wish to pick it up from the AD in person as opposed to having delivered. I will get the bracelet sized to my wrist but will probably wear it on the rubber strap for day to day use.

I first saw this white dial Seamaster Professional watch on-line and was instantly attracted by its looks, last night I had the chance to try the watch and I have to say that I am hooked. What do other OF member think?

I think if you like it you should buy it. Isn't that how it's supposed to work?

It was 18 months ago when I first saw this watch at an Omega presentation evening, since then my enthusiasm for the watch has wained and I passed when offered.
