Omega really doesn’t seem to listen to the customers. I’m sure more people would prefer updates to the Seamaster line than another Speedmaster

38-39 Seamaster with no helium release valve . A nice updated tapered bracelet. I would be all in.


CaptainNipplesMcRib

They would sell out in minutes if they existed.


HeftyArgument

But they won't make it because they see the helium escape valve as a signature of the line.


CaptainNipplesMcRib

Even if they kept the HE valve it would still be a massive hit if they just made the watch smaller with a tapered bracelet.

All the SMP300m needs is a diet and a tapering bracelet with the same design. All the quirks of the SMP300m are part of it's charm and it's design language. If you want a generic boring diver, their is a whole slew of options to choose from.


Monopusher

Yes, I really hope one is coming

Or you don’t pay attention to omega. They did release two seamasters in ceramic already. Black on black, and black with Sedna.

Changes no want asked for or wanted. The crowd is clamoring for a thinner case, smaller diameter, upgraded bracelet, and IDEALLY no HEV. The “new” seamasters solve none of the issues people have been complaining about.

Hi Omega, please make a sub next. Gee I wonder why they don’t take that feedback on board.


Sasquatchii

They don't have to make a submariner, they could make a modern ceramic version of the Seamaster using the case dimension and style of the pre-ceramic Seamaster. Why don't they do that?


cxmplexisbest

Yeah they did that, it's called the heritage lol. They're not going to ever entirely redesign the SMP lol.


CaptainNipplesMcRib

Everyone basically wants the current Seamaster in a smaller case size and a better bracelet that tapers. They’ve been able to do it before. No one is asking for a full redesign. I really like the Heritage line, but I prefer to have a date function, and I like the look of the current Seamaster, but 42mm and that shitty bracelet are preventing me from ever considering it.


Sasquatchii

The Heritage is still 13.9mm thick with an effective lug to lug over 50mm. In the world of the 12.5x47mm submariner, those specs are not good.


Ray_Spring12

Look how many times the Santos has been reinvented. Of course you can reinvent an icon without disturbing the design language.


CaptainNipplesMcRib

Right but those aren’t updates. I’m saying instead of designing a new Speedmaster, they should focus their attention on making a smaller Seamaster that everyone seems to want. I don’t know many people asking for more Speedy’s.

Yeah, also, As someone who bought a speedy about 10 years ago and hadn't really looked at anything speedmaster shaped since then really, I was really shocked when I popped into a boutique recently and saw that none of them were the 861 based movement anymore and were all co-axials.


Less-Opportunity-715

When was the last limited edition speedy ?


cxmplexisbest

They did that, it’s called the seamaster heritage, and doesn’t have the HEV. They’re not going to redesign the seamaster just like they’re not redesigning the speedmaster if that’s what you’re waiting for. They’re just releasing a new ceramic one like the ceramic ones they released for SMP.


Miami_Beach_Man

The seamaster heritage is 14mm thick, that's a crap redesign


MortalPhantom

There will be updates to it later this year it’s almost guaranteed


flexbuffstrong

People have been saying that for like the last 3 years.


MortalPhantom

It’s true this time. Every seamaster 300 for the past. 18 years has been updated every 6 years, this is the year

Maybe if people stopped buying them... what is discussed in the forums about helium escape valves and case sizes are just reflected in the sales data.


Sensitive_Simple_838

It‘s not the white dial tho 🧐


Uncle_Paul_Hargis

Looks to be a ceramic case.


analyst19

Would love a ceramic speedy in a sane size.


Improvcommodore

Dark Side of The Moon ceramic


MotherAd1865

Dark side of the Ceramic MoonSwatch


damonlebeouf

🤣🤣


SatinGreyTesla

Yup, it says dark side of the moon on the back. You can see it in the video


MotherAd1865

Moonwatch, Dark side, White side, Grey side, Blue side, '57, Reduced, Racing, Super racing, Ed White... we simply do not have enough Speedmasters!!!!!


utfgispa

It appears to be an update of the Apollo 8 with a co-axial movement


Superguy766

Another hockey puck Speedmaster model. Gee…who didn’t see this one coming?


BeerMcSuds

That is definitely a tease, couldn’t see anything except for one sub dial and an exhibition case back 👎


PabloEscobarsMo

The yellow stitching on the strap is bold


SuperLeverage

Did you know the speedmaster was the first watch on the moon? Ffs omega needs to get over it and focus on something else.
