New FOIS released

[davek35]

I can't fault this watch one bit.
Likes (love)... The hands, the dial, the hour markers, the bracelet. And the fact the AR coating is only on the inside and not the outside of the crystal.

I liked this watch from the first time I saw it. Trying to stick to the 'one in, one out' idea. First world prob.......

Next problem is that I live in the largest city in my state, but no Omega dealers here. The last one sucked. Again, FWP.

Congrats to all that have picked one up!!!!

I've watched many videos of this watch.
Reflections seem to be abundant. I'm not sure if it's all coming from the crystal or dial, or a combination.
What do you owners have to say about reflections?
Thanks!

The combo of a very domed crystal and a sunburst dial does create reflections. Not quite as bad as some videos with their intense lighting would have you believe, but it definitely does.

For me, it gives a visual difference that you don’t get from all speedies, and I like it for that - but for sure something like an Ed white is very much more legible with the baton hands, Matt dial and less curved crystal.

My buddy picked it up and I had a chance to try it on and see it in the metal. It's one of the best releases ina long while....

Just got mine from the SOHO Boutique this afternoon. The blue-grey dial is so subtle. We'll done Omega.

Having now tried one on, I find the watch too dark for me.

I’m sure that others will like and enjoy this model, but it’s not for me.

Great article

I got mine last week from a boutique. It's a nice companion to my 2017 xxxx005 Hesalite Moonwatch. Funny, even my family doesn't recognize that I have something different now. But, don't we all wear out watches for ourselves? :-) Happy wearing to all those who got one.

Very nice, congratulations!

You know, I kinda wished they had a version with a display caseback, but I see why they didn't do that.

I decided to change out the hands with 321 hands kit (067PP00395) based on Sam Tamborello's recommendation. I'm loving this mod.

That’s interesting.

Would love to see a pic if you have a moment.

[Mr_Sheen]

The forum won't let me post photos since I don't have enough posts at the moment. Will work up to 10 posts first.

[Mr_Sheen]

Since it was my first mod, I did a lot to reading online and found the right hands set for the change.

Bought the black strap today. Like it over the brown (odd for me) and the stitching matching the lume is good.

Nice. For me too, if not on bracelet, then the black over the tan strap.
