Actually all Omegas are common
They are democratic, available for all at fair price. That’s what I like about them.
Give u few examples.
- Project alaska was so common 10 years ago, SGD8.8k brand new, but no one wanted it. They went for the other beauties.
- Aquaterra >15,000 gauss, also known as the Bumblebee. It was created for less than 2 years run. No one recognized this. I bought 2 for my family as gifts
- Olympics Winter Vancouver, with maple red bezel, was so common, ADs could not sell them. Now they are 1.5-2x value
- Tintin speedmaster i was offered 3 times. I was foolish for not taking it.
- James Bond 007 SM with gun barrel spins in dial, back then was so readily available. I did not take it
But now times have changed. I am watching Omega. I will likely collect Omega like DrNo/Subexplorer. They have all I need. Antimagnetique for doctors, dive water resistance for my weekend dives, and I don’t look like a poser wearing one (it is more pragmatic). They are luxury, but democratic, available to those who save their 1-2 month salary for it. For the tech available, and finishing standards, they are worth it.
No artificial scarcity, or bullying watch collectors. Watch companies now, bully customers. I will not feed hype.
My only hope now, is Omega make more creative calibres, like the deadbeat, the rattaprante, the zero reset, the flyback etc.

Very nice
They don’t make them like this anymore. I regret not getting the 007 ETA pieces back then. Still haunts me.
Yeah, those compact vertical ATs were . . .
. . . Goldilocks, if you get my drift. Here's a 41 on my wrist. For comparison, a 38 mm annual calendar. The 38 was 'just right'. 😉 ...
I had the GMT version (2254) of this watch few years ago. Let it go for planet ocean, which I regret .
The subtle wave dial is very nice, much nicer than the current model which the waves is too "in your face" and less refined. The 13 mm thickness (for GMT version) is very comfortable too. It is a keeper .
Very nice
Have your seamaster an crystal case back? Why, if, than your watch is on my wishlist. Not yours, but a copy done by Omega.
I’ll write a review for u
This is one very unusual piece. The fonts on some areas show some cheekiness. For example, the words Tantalum on the bezel at 12 o’clock, reminds me of something, was it a Genta font? It’s more than meets the eye.
Ok.
Ok, i thought it was a common Seamaster from the Omega collection. Great you have such a special edition.

Heaven
I m impressed by your Omega knowledge. This fantastic brand is all i love. My Seanaster was the first, not my last Omega! My next would be an Aqua Terra WT. Yes, on rubber.
Get the bumblebee if u can Weems
It is selling way below what it is. Provenance, historical context, and design. Let’s revisit this in 5 years time. I hope I am incorrect.
I remember a time
I was a gym instructor, working in a uptown location in Singapore. There was a CEO who came to train occasionally. He was disciplined, focused and kind. He ran a fortune 500 company. He wore an Omega Seamaster GMT all the time. It looked like yours Echi.
I had one of these, but the “mid-sized” version
which just didn’t work. Had I purchased the full-sized version I’d probably still have it. I always had a soft spot for the hippocampus on the case back. Enjoy.
