I like the ceramic case. You have a steel on steel diver that is very similar to the steel bracelet choice. The rubber strap with the ceramic case seems a bit less like any other watch in your collection. Also I feel the diver bezel is more usable than a 3rd timezone gmt bezel.
I now have 3 ceramic watches, and I really like how robust they are. I wear my IWC BP Miramar like many would wear a G-SHOCK and the case looks flawless while the strap has developed a cool worn and rough look. I must have banged the case one something hard because it left a deposit on the case. With lots of elbow grease I was able to polish off the deposit and now it has no evidence there was a hit. It it had been a metal watch, I would have had a deep gouge.

This may be my last timepiece purchase for a while. As most of you know I am an omega guy… Below are my current complement of watches... My chrono is the classic black... I am looking for a travel watch and the checklist must include a dual time feature i...  

I would go with the last one on your list.

It fits great on your wrist and has a solid movement and great WR specs. I don’t understand the ceramic case craze for knock-about tool watches. I had an Apple Watch in ceramic that I cracked when I knocked a rock wall hard by mistake during a hike. Easy ... 

I would go for the ceramic case on account of looks alone.

On that strap, the watch looks fantastic. And, no offense, I would think an Omega ceramic case has the Apple one for breakfast. (Plus I don't fancy the black&white bezel on the steel one.) Cheers Marc

I agree with Gwai

Ceramic cases are not as bad as some claim. I've had this watch since 2006 and have worn it extensively. Not even a hairline scratch on it. ...  

While I can't disagree with your opinion on the looks as that's a personal preference...

I can't agree with "...an Omega ceramic case has the Apple one for breakfast." While I'm a huge fan of mechanics watches, you can't fault Apple's execution on their cases. Look up ceramic case cracks on Google and you'll find examples from every brand. It... 

Well, fair enough. Had I been entirely

serious with my comment, I'd haven chosen a very different wording. Still I would trust a contemporary Omega ceramic case anywhere, anytime. Cheers Marc

Are you sure you want stop collecting watches?

Good to read you are a Omega guy. I like the brand much, and i know for sure i will collect some more Omega watches in the years to come. But i am not only a Omega guy, there are many brands on my wishlist. You need a gmt? The seamaster worldtimer is nice... 

I belief Omega have 4 models of the world timer

If travel is business related, then . . .

. . . the 600M in steel. If strictly pleasure, then black ceramic works fine. But any professional aspect would sway my decision towards the less prominent steel version. Art

You could get away wearing the steel PO GMT with sleeves . . .

. . . but black ceramic? Doubtful . . .

My vote is for the black ceramic!

More unusual and interesting. The orange accents work well on it too.

Definitely will require a trip to the Manhattan Omega boutique...

Need to wear the World Timer as well...

Thanks for your input ...
