75th Anniversary SMP Leaked

[Cr_Zeek]

These were posted on reddit but have been removed since...appear to be commemorating 75th anniversary of the Seamaster. No wonder Omega has been so quite.

The size appears to be 41mm, has a gradient pattern which I absolutely love and HEV seems to be more tucked in.

Interesting dial color but not fresh enough imho.

Its an ode to the past with modern take. Why would it be groundbreakingly fresh?

[Cr_Zeek]

The bezel appears to be fully lumed also. Images are very dark however.

Cant wait to see these dials in person.

i dont mind this but it is a bit repetitive. i mean how much different is the 41 going to be from the 42 really?

1mm ?

Wish I could pinpoint what it is that I don't like about the SMP bracelet.

Might tickle my fancy if that dial is really a gradient dial.

Anyone gonna mention that the 8 appears off-center?

i meant are they going to taper the bracelet finally or not? it's straight up terrible. it looks like no.

so what is the point of this release? they already did a bond. now this. it's all just more of the same.

perhaps we get a red bull version and x games while they are at it...

Very cool! The Seamaster in general is one of my favorite watches / product lines. I've owned many over the years and have three currently, which I'll always keep. One of those is vintage and I'm excited for the 75th anniversary.

However, I can see how it might not be for everyone. For the collector's who can justify owning many of basically the same watch, this will be another opportunity.

If they fixed the bracelets on the 300 I’d own 3 or 4 of them. As it stands, I own zero. The bracelet on the new Speedy 57 is awesome and I bought one. Same with the 300 retro ones. Why Omega continues to sabotage the 300 with that bracelet is beyond me.

Looks the same like my current blue variant minus the red text

I agree completely

It’s all a bit of a yawn for me. They keep pumping out limited editions which look virtually the same. I bet this will be priced at around £7 grand while you can still get the normal for 5. I find the 42 a smidge on the big side, so this may be a slightly better fit at least.

That's a gorgeous timepiece.

Its not a limited edition mate. There hasn't been one for a minute.

Same stuff different day. Meh

Unlimited Limited editions. It’s what made Panerai great

Still more creative than Rolex adding a mm then removing it and calling it a new model.

I stand corrected - but this will be one of those that they release a dribble of probably. I don’t see being able to walk in and buy one.

Will be interesting to see how it’s priced compared to the regular.

So funny. And true.

I like the 41mm size which is close to perfect and I like the gradient dial. Will I buy one? No

[1William]

Just another dial variation and the 1mm does nothing for me.

[SvenNikolai]

If they not only reduce the diameter in this homage, but also the thickness, then I would welcome that. The weight may be reduced accordingly and it becomes lighter, perhaps only marginally. Perhaps by doing so they create a gain in comfort and for some it is a winner. I find them visually appealing. I probably wouldn't buy one because I'm very happy with my current black Seamaster.

[philhendrix]

Taper the bracelet (and perhaps change the look of it a little), slim down the watch just a 1mm or so, and I'd buy one immediately.

If it's going to have a closed caseback, it might be slimmer than the normal Diver similar to how the NTTD is slimmer than the Diver.

Nothing is more boring than tribalism

Or, you could say it’s what killed the brand! So many great looking watches, but they all ended up, looking the same
