The Weight is Over?
By: Clueless_Collector : August 27th, 2019-22:29
Just saw this new Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra light weight sports watch, only 55 grams. The watch also features Omega’s first Ti movement. Everything looks promising, no date, nice hidden crown.... until I saw the price....really!? Is it a typo? ...

Nice R&D piece

Unfortunately Omega is no Richard Mille and won't be able to pull it off. As they say in the mechanical sports area for all components: - it can be light - it can be strong - it can be cheap Pick two adjectives among the three
Technically very interesting.

I do not see however how all of this would be relevant for the typical Omega customer ...at that price point.
Which $ currency?

HK $ 48,600 is US $ 6,194 (maybe OK). Singapore $ is US $34,991 (not a chance). Zimbabwe $ is US134 (bargain!) Where to buy? Best Clive

...well after I saw the price I had to shake my head in bewilderment. Who is their target audience for this watch? The über rich will probably go for RM, AP, or even Hublot for a "haute horology" piece. Meanwhile, the average Joe Schmoe won't even enterta...

As already mentioned, RADO introduced the Hyperchrome Ultralight back in 2016, at 56 grams, using a mix of SiN ceramic and hardened Ti on the exterior, and aluminium bridges for the movement., and all for $2500 ish. Most of the R&D has therefore been done...
I like this Omega a lot.

And it may be my first watch from the brand. It ticks a lot of boxes for me. M4
Omega has achieved a few objectives with this piece...
By: vitalsigns : August 28th, 2019-06:24
1) We're now talking about Omega (even if we're baffled by the price) 2) Omega's other pieces now seem more reasonably priced 3) Omega may get much press in the sports word over this lightweight piece (even though other manufacturers already precede Omega...

I'm sure purists would have a few good ideas if we were running the show!
Similar to Breitling Superocean Chronowerks...
By: jmpTT : August 28th, 2019-11:07
Breitling had a Superocean Chronowerks priced at $39,000...few years back. This is of a similar idea. I doubt those watches sold well and I doubt they’ll maintain their value in the collectors market. I feel this Omega, while a cool timepiece, is not pric...
