If the newest insta post is to scale with the 8900 above the upcoming 8750, they’re not highlighting the thickness of the movement but the diameter.
Perhaps for watches in the 28mm to 36mm size range?
Is it though?
I’m sure they sell a lot of watches for women, and I’m sure there’s good profit in it for them that gets ploughed back into research and development for others watches.
Not every watch is going to please every aim b

I don't know any women who want an automatic movement watch. Neither my wife nor my girlfriend will wear one. Quartz only.
Hmm, just a myth? In our timeframe of reference the 1120, 1861 and especially 3313 seemed wafer thin vs the 8500/8900 and 9900. It’s only a mm or 2 (and the separate 7750 dervatives were always fat I know) but Omega magnified the difference manyfold when they made the cases around them. I suspect it was a marketing lead decision to make the watches feel more substantial but it wasn’t a good direction IMO. I mean who needs a 17mm deep PO FFS. Did it need to be 4mm deeper than the 2500 version? Obviously not.
I hate disagreeing with you since I normally come off worse but I do think omega have form for fat watches recently and it can’t be denied today’s movements are thicker than those from 20-30 years ago in the main.
Small new movement is a welcome thing but, and here is the BIG but, when will we see the so called Spirate regulation system implemented in a new Speedmaster or just a new three handed caliber????it's nearly two years since Omega presented this kind of new technology which as far as I've understood, the watchmaker will be able to regulate the stiffness of the hairspring, have you heard any news about? I greet all Omega aficionados
