路Honestly, I think this new PO is stunning.
I understand concerns about this watch. It's thick, big and expensive.
However I believe that the intention behind this watch is not going mainstream, at least not now, but technological arms race. Just like Spirate.

路I thought this one was beautiful since its release; and the more I look at it, the more I like it.
But since my bank account doesn't grow enough to afford it, I simply dream about it.
And, since dreams are cheap, I dream of walking into a boutique, and ordering this piece AND a set of 22mm straps that would probably fit, from the same series of 45.5 Pl.Oc. (chrono; big blue, deep black)
Here are the (virtual) results:
ORIGINAL
DEEP BLACK RUBBER
CHRONO RUBBER
BIG BLUE RUBBER
BIG BLUE GATOR
DEEP BLACK (SEDNA) GATOR
I really think this watch has great potential!
PS: and no NATO because I think 17,4 mm of thickness is enough 馃榿

路If omega is able to make 12-13mm thick divers with lug to lug of about 48mm even if WR has to be reduced to say 200m with non-display casebacks they would open up to a whole different segment of the watch market.
with omegasteel, they can reduce the thickness without all the other compromises. They need to hurry and implement the new material asap

路In person I thought this watch was awesome, and would've bought it except for the price. Had it been the same as an Ultra Deep or even a stitch more I would've bought it but no way it's worth double.

路Here is the link to Fratello's article with its beautiful shots:
https://www.fratellowatches.com/han...t-omega-seamaster-planet-ocean-gmt-dark-grey/
The "marriage" between the cool shades of ceramic and the warm shades of titanium is simply perfect; and the Ti pairs perfectly with those orange accents.
Too bad I can't afford it... 馃檨

I have the Deep Black and decided to swap out the greyish coloured stitching in the band for all black ballistic nylon thread. Looks way better! I suspect a similar effect if one were to do that with colour matched thread with the factory strap.
While this watch has a slightly absurd price tag, I love it! Large PO's aren't for everyone, how could they be? But I'm 6'3 and have a 7 3/4 wrist so I think they fit perfect (I'd even be open to a 47mm version! - but that's only because I used to own a couple versions of the Railmaster XXL). I'm keeping my eye on the secondary market and if one pops up for a decent price I'd very much consider pouncing on it.
*and trying out some of your strap suggestions seeing as that I own a few already

路Having owned one of the Deep Black references for a few years, sure, it's a big watch but it's definitely one of the coolest dive watches on the market and this seems to have expanded on that. Chatted with an Omega rep a week ago at a brand event and apparently a good number of these have been sold but delivery is super slow. Most likely the titanium movement is extremely difficult to produce at scale.

I think this watch is great (albeit wicked expensive). I picked up my gold PO for much less than what one of these is going for. But like I said, if I'm able to pick one up at a good deal then that changes the equation significantly.

did these actually sell? I even did a search on youtube.
I didn't see a review from an actual buyer.
so I am thinking some of these omega watches are more like thought experiments
