I like it a lot although I would prefer it slightly bigger. Also, I think that for this watch, the He valve kinda spoils the looks of it. Maybe because there are no crown guards as such...
You are one of the MANY wis who's deceived by the manual Helium valve and I would not say that's it's my favorite either...
The problem there with the new line with the 8500&derivative movements: Is that Omega still hold on the old P.O case design.
Making this in-house line looking like the 2500..Eta variants line.
A refreshing touch with automatic H valve would have been more than welcome and would certainly have boosted the sells.
Omega don't seems to bother...


That's an excellent point Willthumbsup.gif

Thanks Tony. We are many to share it in fact: But who knows if Omega's design team or high-ranked responsibles are looking at forums to learn what them customers prefer...278.gif
I will not be the guy who will mail them about it.
I already made my pro-bono to G.P and them new Hawk collection with it's overload of plastic&rubber...
Seems like there is also a latex fetish going on
