It is presented on the official Omega website.

I saw this. No issues with it but also not much to it in reference to moving me to buy one.

Curious to see the black aluminium dial in person, I like it.
Could have been 40 or 41 but no one it’s perfect nowadays :)

The black looks really good without a date window. I would prefer this model at 41mm, but I can live with 42.

If they offered one with sword hands, I'd be all over it.

I swear they’re holding on to sword hands in case of emergency. It’s such a good option.

Let's hope so. I swear I gave it a good try with my SMP 300M but I just couldn't do the skeleton hands. I know I sound like a broken record, but damn I loved everything else about it, even the He wart. But those hands

Back to aluminum bezel and dial? Why? I don't get this at all. I do like the no date however.

Very mid imho

I won’t fall for these until 40-40.5. The 42 is too large for me no matter how many times ive owned prior variants

Just feels lazy design (or lack of). Why can't they make it smaller, thinner and a new bracelet.

Requires a lot of redesign and retooling. I also wanted this to be 41mm and thinner but I can see why Omega didn't do it.

I don't think it's an extraordinary amount of work. They fit this movement in smaller watches.

This watch is still too big, should be 40-41mm and put on a diet to 11-12mm thick.

I agree with the above - it’s a bit lazy. Nothing to get excited about really, but equally not offensive.
