thanks Imran. some interesting stuff especially the new movements
i'm not sure i like the boxiness of the speedmaster casing, but i do like the bi axial chronograph subdial. the Olympic seamaster is growing on me now i've had a chance to look at it closer. i feel that i should buy one to show loyalty to my home country. we'll see.
i hope you had fun over there Imran. i must go one day
best

Basel 2011 report!
Well lets kick off with an exclusive in depth look at the 2012 limited edition: last Olympics in London 1948, coincidently the year the Seamaster was launched. So to celebrate 2012, a new version in steel: in 1948 pieces, price £3,500 solid gold logo back...
Thank you!
Wonderful post. Thank you so much for posting this for those of us hanging on every bit of news. Great pictures as well! Alex
Thanks!
Finally some good info'. Shame Omega didn't feel the need to communicate it. Do we know the size of the new SMP? Thanks.
Thanks. Sorry but...
Thanks. A couple more quick questions: Do you know if the new non-chronographs only be available in the large size? What size is the ladies' one and will it be offered in the other colours? And does it also get an 8500? Yes, that's right. I am trying to f...
Thanks
Thanks. It appears on your photos that the white POs are two different sizes since the date window appears in different places. Is one of the 42mm? Thanks again for the stirling work.
Thanks Imran for the great pics and report....MORE
Hi Imran On the 1948 Seamaster , do you know the size of it and which caliber they used? Very little info is getting out at this time.. Thanks again for posting. Good Hunting Bill Sohne
Strange
Yes, isn't it strange that these announcements haven't been followed by press kits? Strange marketing practice.
And any prices on these other new offerings?
And availability? Omega better get its act together - an informed consumer is what they should strive for but they have to do the informing!
Exactly the kind of late night snack that I like. Did they by any chance...
...give you the CHF price for the PO Chronograph? I'm afraid it will be the same as or higher than the Ploprof, given the specifications. Previously I was concerned only about its diameter (previous version being too large for me) but now with your side v...
Thanks for the post...my favorite brand, and I love the new pieces...
I have the current planet ocean in 42, and while I do like the new ones, I prefer the solid back for a sport watch. However, I love the 8500...so I will have to collect them all eventually! Thanks for the report...I think Omega's lineup is really strong t...

Great report, Imran
Thank you very much for sharing! 2011 definitely is a great year for Omega! I will have to check the new Planet Ocean soon. Oh, and the bi-axial Speedmaster looks really cool! Thanks, Alex
Fantastic Photos
Great Photos Imran and thank you so much for share. This year Omega put impressive watches and the Caliber 9300 is AWESOME ! I love the Speedmasters and its size 42mm, but this new one is REALLY tempting so I will start to make my saves for get both, the ...
hi Big Duke, the...
hi Big Duke, the 5 year anniversaries may have something to do with the fact that every 5 years the surviving members of the crews get to go to the White house to meet the president. i dont know if it still happens, but i've read both Buzz Aldrins and Gen...
Hi Graham
Thank you for your kind answer! It makes perfect sense! I was told by my AD, that the new Apollo 15 40th anniversay is just marvelous. I can not wait for see it. All Speedmasters have the same quality standards and this make any of them very special, but ...
Will Omega discontinue ref. 2201.50.00 and 212.30.36.20.01.001 soon??
because it seems like Omega is upgrading the PO line and SMP line and I'm saving up some money to get those two models at the moment but wondering if by the time I've got enough fund Omega will still make the models that I wanted to be available? Thanks, ...
Nice post, love the new pieces and interesting to see a new clasp on the
SMP.... Looks like it will be something current SMP owners can move into on their watches given the case is the same. I also agree the new line seems like a premium product and I would clearly take one of those over a Sub C, lesser cost on average will ju...
