No adjustable clasp this year, but I like everything else.

Doxa's instagram page says that on 3-16-18 there's a pre-Basel announcement. I'm guessing a 200t-graph remake.

Nevermind. Looks like it'll be a remake of this. Instagram picture has Poseidon gear.

About time :clap:

That clasp should be on all of their bracelets.

I don't see it necessarily a Glidelock, it looks like an Easy Link

GMT ceramic with jubilee bracelet. Maybe the newer movement with Rolex Paraflex shock absorbers. No. Big. Deal.

A modern jubilee with adjustment on a sports model is a big deal to me.

it’s only recently that some DJ version of the jubilee even got micro adjust at the clasp. It’s been all “add and remove links” since the jubilee got solid links. Sad. BIGLY.

Word is the wave dial returns on the SMP, along with Master METAS movement. Hopefully they give us sword hands. If so, I’m in.

would be cool if they used the matte ceramic bezel from the old enz team chrono instead of the current polished ceramic of the sm300 ceramics :think:

Yep that's perfect 2254 with an in-house mov't and under 4K MSRP, that would give Tudor a run for its money.

I doubt under $4k msrp. Probably mid-high 5’s since Planet Ocean is $6550.

I’d expect it to be like most recent releases; boutique only for a few months, then AD’s. Figure street price around $4000-4500.

Just my guess.

I should have said street price. Omega like to price them

As long as it isn’t 16 mm thick. They never seem to get that these older Omega divers were so great to actually wear because they were comfortable.
