Omega has really upped their game lately. That watch is decent looking, horologocally interesting, and the case finishing looks great.

I have to say, I do like this version. Wouldn't mind owning it and having an Omega back in the collection.

Didn’t think I would want another Omega as nothing really captured my interest but I have always liked their watches and I own the Seamaster (Brosnan era). But this is very interesting and a handsome watch. Like it a lot.

I'm not in love with the watch (don't hate it, either), but I do love the quick change strap feature. What a terrific idea for us watch nerds. If the VC overseas were in my price range, I'd have bought it already just for that feature. Hopefully Omega and other watch companies will start making a feature like this standard on some of their models.

IWC has had that sort of thing on their dive watch forever. I'm glad to see Omega copying it. It needs to catch on.

The red and blue pushers are really the only "Doh Omega!" parts of that one.

All the individual details (case, dial, markers) are beautiful, however don't like that style of hands and just can't get into this design. Also, why the ugly HeV?

I think I like it, but can't get past whatever it is that the chrono-lock does. Thinking about that, kind of distracts me from the whole design.

I think overall it's an interesting design, I would have preferred the pushers to be traditional instead of red and blue. That being said, you have to give Omega credit for being creative in watch design, not everyone is a hit, but, at least they're not afraid to try new things.
