Amazing that it's been about three years with Ceramic QP, and it still looks as new as it did when I first received it! For the first two years this was my primary daily wearer, desk diver, and traveler. Interestingly enough - it's been a pretty understated model - including in the AP boutique - one SA actually thought it was a Hublot!
In the end, no question that this particular model helped advance the use of ceramics across its entire line - and with the QP - it seamlessly integrates the AP of old with the AP of new.
I hope more and more models can come out in full ceramic, perhaps in different colors? I'm still dreaming for the 16202 in Ceramic!!
Cheers,
Peter

Very legible for a QP. The ceramic doesn't seem to show any sign a wear, quite impressive especially the clasp which takes most of the beating as a desk diver!
My biggest fear has always been either doorknobs and seatbelts...

And every time I feel like I think there has been a scratch or dent or crack made - this watch comes out so far unscathed. I'm a fan of patina and all but to me this is one of those "set it, wear it, and forget it" watches Cheers Peter
Thanks!!!

As a DSOTM and GSOTM owner I have a huge appreciation for ceramic watches. Omega has actually injected molecules that allow the ceramic to be fully functional down to 2000 ft. One of the criteria I use to judges ceramics in horology is textures. As with y...
A yes beautiful pieces carved and finished by diamonds...

Probably the only Achilles heel to these watches - my wife's hands!!! Love your Omegas - feels good when ceramic is finished well and designed well My wife does have a Chanel J12 and it's just "standard" glossy finish. Another photo just taken... Cheers P...
Well summarized Peter.

The black case and bracelet seem to help minimize the plethora of displays. I adore a traditional PC layout like AP has forever used, even if my eyes can no longer read the gauges without readers, and the black case seems like a perfect frame. Thanks for ...
Thanks Michael!

I agree - I also have a strong preference for the traditional PC layout of the AP over others - one that has mostly not changed for many many years. Funny also how AP was bold enough to place a PC in a sporty case with the 5548. Cheers Peter
