I think thats a good looking watch, comes down to dimensions and in particular how thick.

Pretty interesting. No date though, correct? It might be unpopular, but I need a date on my watches. Even if they have the date function, I can't make any 42 mm fit my wrist no matter how hard I try.
They do appear to be no-date. To each his own; for me, losing the date and the He valve make this a winner. Brush out the center links and I’d take this over a 124060 any day. Maybe the best looking dive watch on the market now other than Blancpain.

I like them especially black
It's a different watch in black and rubber strap!

Very nice.

Just noticed the endlinks, which stand out more against the black. Pretty cool. Has an integrated look without being stuck with an integrated bracelet.

Price and how it wears still to be determined, but this in black is tempting.

How are Omega this bad at keeping a release secret?? I like them, but no date is a deal breaker. Hope for a smaller date version down the line like the previous iteration (but mostly just waiting for a modern sm300 165.024)

Note tempted by this at all.

6 looks like a G. 9 looks like an upside down G. Neither font matches the 12 or 3. Are are those bezels on the lop and bottom of each bracelet link? This really looks like it was designed by AI and not a person.

for me it is positive: NO DATE, symmetric case, thinner (seems so), bezel with minutes points markers instead of continuos circle, no He valve.
doubts: the lugs and its chamfered ending, will this grow with time?
Can a NATO be used?

Personally from the pics think it looks good certainly better than the last few generations IMHO although 1st & 2nd gen are best around.

Proof will be how they wear obviously

Pretty sure a NATO can be used with almost any watch—this would be no exception. (Not the choice I’d make personally but I can see the appeal.)

Actually, since I invoked Blancpain earlier (this watch looks like a nod to SWATCH sibling Fifty Fathoms with the arabics), I bet this would look killer on a sailcloth strap like those do.

I don't get why if the photographer had them on hand they didn't take a side profile shot since that's the one everyone's keen to see, how far does the thing stick up off your wrist!!!! lol

I really like it. It looks more utilitarian, boxy. Obviously taking design cues from other modern divers. For me, a huge improvement over the previous generation. It looks more like what it is supposed to be, which is always a plus, and thinner.

Not sure how I feel about it. I don't hate the watch, but it looks a bit weird. The proportions seem a bit off to me, but maybe it's just because it's new. At least they're doing something new, but for me I don't think this is better than the first gen designs.

One thing I can confidently say is I absolutely do hate the polished centre links. Is it a 600 m diver or is it a dress watch? Come on.

Polished center links seem to indicate they want it to be a dress watch for many people, IMO.

Something with dial seems out of balance. Maybe it's a combination of the larger bezel with it, not sure.

Will need to see it in person.

I’m sorry but the case is terrible. The lugs and end links look really bad.

Well then it's an absolutely terrible dress watch. 😜
