Ceramic whuaat from OMEGA; move over ROLEX !

And if they do the lume like the Ploprof, this maybe a DSSD killer !
The He valve is still gimicky, wishd theyd lose that knob twisty thingy !

Beautiful watch, but don't like those arrow-heads.

SAV (service apres-vente). it's still, in my opinion, omega's achille's heel. hayek's watch making school in new jersey is a step in the right direction, but rolex has the upper hand (big time) in north america.

Looks cool! However, I believe the proper technical term is not ceramic... it's "LiquidMetal" whatever that means... Still, a very cool watch. My friend has the regular version, and every time I see it it's VERY tempting... arrow hands and all.

Rolex was not the first manufacturer to release watches with ceramic bezels; Hublot's Big Bang offered it in 2005, two years before the GMT IIc came out, and Rado has been doing ceramic watches for years.

As to the lineage of the watch, the broad arrow hands date to the 1950s; here's a pic of a vintage Speedy with the hands.

It's a mix of ceramic and liquidmetal, which is poured into the grooves of the bezel. For that price, wish they put the new in-house 8500 movement, but it will have the regular 2500c movement. Looks great!

Though I am not privy to their strategic corporate information I think Mr. Hayek and the SWATCH group are targeting ROLEX. The new OMEGA cal. 8500-8600, the "new" Ploprof, the AT and the HV and HVAC all point to OMEGA taking the gloves off. I don't think ROLEX will be seriously hurt, but I do believe some of the smaller players had better watch out when these two titans struggle.

Good observation STEELINOX.

Agree. Bracelet not matching with the overall outlook of the watch.
