It's limited to 1,948 pieces, has the 'Seamaster' font in red and has a ceramic and 'liquidmetal' bezel ... Looks rather tasty!

Yes, twice what my PO cost me. Hmmmmmmm, I'll want to see some more pics first

I'm never any good at translating marketing BS- is the main advantage of this the ability to make a highly polished hard-alloy bezel with a ceramic bezel insert and have the two seamlessly joined? Regardless, it looks very good, esp the ceramic face.

That is so, so nice.

I want to have money.

Weird how it seems liking cars, technology and watches go hand in hand.

I was thinking the same thing about the Ginetta G-40. If I owned/ran one, I think I'd be almost as happy working for a pit crew reassembling it with power tools as I would be driving it.

Very nice

Looks good, expect a non limited edition version for 2/3 the price when this one sells out that will cost 2/3rds it's retail price as soon as it's been on someones wrist.

Dial and bezel look nice, but they don't look "another 2.5K" nice.

A colleague has just bought one, but I've yet to see it in teh flesh. £3,850 iirc. I love it, but done the Omega Ltd Ed already. Would need to be given another Omega leather jacket to splash £3,850 on the LM with that movement....

[whoami]

Have just checked and the price is actually £2.5K

£2.5k 'over' the normal price. It's £3,580, but if you can get me one for £2.5k I'll have 3!

I called my AD (who I know very well).

He called his Omega rep who told him that it was a Boutique only product, was designed to test the punters reaction to the new look (apparantly it's been favourable) and that it was priced at £2.5K.

Also, his advise was that we are likely to see this style of bezel filtering down to the mainstream ranges this year with a possible announcement at Baselworld in March. I am attending Basel with the AD in question so can give him a slap if he's wrong.

If the information he gave me is incorrect, then I apologise

Can you PM me his number please? If he can source them at £2.5k, I'm in!

Saw this on TZ, it looks lovely...
It'll be interesting to see if this filters down to other Omega models; I'd love a Seamaster like that!

Perhaps it's just me but I can't see much of a difference from that photo to the normal Planet Ocean.

Exec summary: the dial and bezel are shinier, and the word "seamaster" is red.
