Nicolas, the Seamaster Skeleton has been available since 2002 or possibly earlier
when i was first retired and had pension lump in the bank my wife enquired about buying me one for xmas (with my money please note) and after lots of phone calls between AD, Omega UK and Geneve she was told that at that stage only 1 had ever been made for Basel and was sold at end of show. any others would be made to order, completely made by 1 watchmaker and would take 12 months approximately. i've got the 2001 AD catalogue and theres a pic of one in there with specs.
that was a long time ago so its possible they now make them for boutiques and they are more readily available. lovely looking piece, but not really suited to the smp300 case IMO.

Ming and I stopped by the Beverly Hills Omega boutique last Thursday . . .
. . . to see the new Aqua Terra chronometers, as well as a few other models. First off, my personal favorite, the co-axial Omega central tourbillon with flash . . . . . . and without . . . These are the best pics I could take, so I hope Ming had better lu...

It's also available in white gold . . .

Thanks, I was waiting for those pictures
Haven't seen a lot of Aqua Terra pictures yet, so thanks for posting. I prefer the black (or gray) teak dial, but the white one is pretty neat too. So what did you think about this watch? You made your trip specifically for the new Aqua Terra so do you li...
I never considered this model before...
...but it's growing on me. It's classy, but there is something slightly aggressive about the geometry of the hour markers, hands, calendar display, and overall color palate of this watch. I can't quite put my finger on it. Thanks for the photos! Daos
There is a ladies version, Daos . . .
. . . not sure if you're into bling, but at least you've got an option . . . cordially, Art...
Thanks for the photo, Art.
My previous comments were actually geared toward the DeVille, but it is interesting to see this ladies model Aqua Terra. I think the men's Aqua Terra is a much more successful design, compared to its feminine counterpart. Cheers, Daos
Whoops! I guess I should proof my responses a little . . .
. . . more carefully . . . sorry, Daos. Warm regards, Art This message has been edited by Dr No on 2009-01-28 09:00:29
Skeleton Omega Seamaster and tourby...
The Omega skeleton Seamaster is hot!!!!! -MW...
Are there any macro photos of the skeleton Seamaster?
I'm very curious to see it up close. In person, did you feel the hour/minute hands vanished against the skeletonized dial? Intriguing piece nonetheless. Cheers, Daos
