    Beautiful! But I still prefer the ceramic version. The shiny bezel and the red accents makes it look more premium. This one looks more rugged and utilitarian.

      Rugged and utilitarian is exactly what they were aiming for. This is designed to fire a shot across the bow of the Submariner no date.

    The lumed bezel is 🔥
    A lot of hate on this watch from the YT watch community but the more I see it, the more I get the idea of staying true to the SMP dna, including the HEV, imo.
    Only sad part is the pricing… but it does make me contemplate selling my white SMp for this. 💸💸

    I don’t know, I think the black dial looks really nice but it has “Omega is copying Rolex” kind of vibe with the black dial and white indices. The mesh bracelet can not hug 5.9 small wrist which I have. I probably will stick to traditional blue wave dial with the standard SM300p bracelet

    • @hand.wound.horology
      @hand.wound.horology  4 дня назад

      I see where your coming from. But I think the watch has enough differences to set it apart.

      The traditional one is a great piece

    @anonypersona3189 5 дней назад +5

    Of course the price increase is not justified. It's just Omega being Omega. It'll still sell a ton at the price point they've set. In reality, this new version of the Seamaster is much cheaper to make than the standard version. The bracelet is 10x cheaper, no complicated clasp, no integrated endlines, no variation in finishing/brushed vs polished. Then aluminum bezel and dial vs ceramic and no date.... and then just monochrome colors, no red print or red tip second hand making it all even cheaper.

    Thanks for the look at this new watch. I think it’s a bit of an overstatement to frame reactions to bracelet as “a lot of dislike”. I have the NTTD and the 60th, and the mesh bracelet looks awesome and fits very comfortably, I’ve not knocked it on anything at all.

    These watches are transitional models for the end of the current SMP300s life cycle. They have nothing to do with the next gen SMP300. Omega needed a way to bridge the generations from current to next gen. When an SMP300 reaches year 5 or 6 of it's lifecycle sales drop off because people who are considering one are playing it cautious and waiting to see the new model before they commit. These watches are made completely from Omega's existing parts bin. The wave dial on the black model is the original 90s Brosnan generation 1 wave dial. It is the same dial on the Bond 60th but in matte black instead of blue. To be honest I am surprised a watch youtuber didn't know this already. The steel on steel version uses the exact same bezel as the Nekton SMP300 and the brushed steel dial looks to be using old recently deleted Railmaster dial blanks.
    Many are complaining about the case size and the bracelets. Omega is not about to debut the next generation tapered bracelet on a transitional model made from stock parts. They needed to supply a bracelet that was not the current model SMP bracelet and this is why the mesh and the rubber are the two current options. All the new stuff will debut with the release of the next gen SMP300 which will be around another year of waiting.
    People are complaining about the mesh bracelet being uncomfortable. If this is the case the problem a you problem and not an Omega problem. The mesh bracelet comes in three lengths; S for wrists below 6.5', M the default that you will get if you don't ask otherwise and L which is for wrists 7.5" and over. When you order the correct bracelet there is no hang over from the clasp that rubs uncomfortably. If it's uncomfortable it's because you have ordered the wrong bracelet with your purchase. I have the L version and it comforms to the curve of my wrist beautifully on my 8' wrist.
    People really need to stop bandwagoning hate on this release, or at least read the Omega website to find out why they used an aluminium bezel insert, gen 1 wave dial and the mesh. It's all there explained in detail. Understanding of what these watches are, and importantly, are not is paramount in one's understanding of what this release is intended to achieve.

      Exactly. I would have asked her to clarify which materials were an improvement on the new one. Which, of course, she would have not been able to answer.

      @mendipfox1650 5 дней назад +1

      Yeah, this confused me too. Ceramic is more expensive than aluminium and the 8806 is less complex than the 8800. Also, the Milanese bracelet is cheaper to manufacture than the regular Seamaster bracelet. The new one should be $1000 less on manufacturing costs in the real world.

    The question is why made Omega this terrible bracelet again. The have to read so many negative reviews about this bracelet. What is wrong with a slim tapered modified original seamaster bracelet?

    • @hand.wound.horology
      @hand.wound.horology  4 дня назад +1

      Omega is slacking. They just need to make a few adjustments to their watches to go from good to great watches.

    The dial feels too busy. Toothpaste valve is still a huge miss and so is the size... and the bracelet... and that clasp...

    Get rid of display caseback and shave off some thickness, 55 hr PR for high tech co-axial is embarrassing, still can’t make a decent bracelet. I’d buy on rubber if was thinner and cheaper than regular model with more! Giving less charging more is shady

    • @dukes70
      @dukes70 3 дня назад +1

      @ the new one has an aluminum bezel and dial vs standard ceramic bezel and dial. I would think ceramic costs more than aluminum plus they take away a date function. Less for more! lol
