2025 Omegas as viewed thru No's . . .

Let's start with the novelty introduced just this week.
I asked for the plastic wrap's removal but was declined as they'd just gotten the 9 kt Seamaster in the day before and preferred keeping it in pristine condition. Case brushing, much to my liking, is evident.
A bit too precious? There's a dark green dial available in steel.
I wasn't able to capture the green-ish tint of the dial and bezel, so use your imagination to color what appears black by the dark green evident around '10' on the bezel.
The vintage fans here will go ga-ga for the Olympics model . . .
. . . patterned on the famous Seamaster XVI model issued for the 1956 Melbourne Games. I tried this one on and quite taken.
The meteorite moon phase Speedmaster . . .
. . . is what our Moderator Emeritus Marcus would call a sober watch. The utility of the original Speedmaster design fused with advanced mechanical dexterity . . . kinda like the Mustangs offered now based on '67 designs with up-to-date chassis and powertrain.
The silvery grey Seamaster . . .
. . . would be my call for the most intriguing of the bunch. I've a hunch there will be at least one here in our community soon.
😉
Half the credit for the photos goes to Ryan, the boutique associate, who . . .
. . . assisted by making rudimentary light boxes out of pillows.
Dark green on mesh is cool, kind of like the bronze-gold one too, sans looking at the price.
I predict
that this will be the year for Omega. I think they are finally listening to their collectors. I’m not one (yet) but there is plenty to like about the direction they are taking.
Thank you so much dear Art for this nice review of the recent Omega novelties.
The bronze gold SM 300 M is very attractive indeed. I just regret the high prices Omega is asking for their products lately.
I’m very fond of the Brand and have great respect for its high quality finish and technology as you know.
And I like the fact that most models are available after they are announced and we don’t see those hateful “for display only” little signs in an Omega boutique display.
I like so much the green dial and bezel model with its touches of bronze gold rim and crowns.
This one is in my wish list waiting to view it in the metal before deciding what to do.
Cheers! Abel
Great you were able to try on all these…The green dial offers something different, that would be my pick🍻
Thanks for the great shots! Many nice new models in a pretty short time.
My favorite is the Green SMP and the Olympia. Will not buy either, though.
All the right stuff
Thanks Art, those are the one's to see this year. I like the Moonphase. Glad to see some new idea's on the Seamasters coming out, but here is a nay sayer on the wire mesh bracelet.
Only place it kinda? makes sense to me is on the grey one. i prefer the current bracelet.
