Re: Omega AT Ultra Light
Hey, go easy on them. I'm sure licensing the Velcro strap from Apple wasn't cheap.
If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.

$50K WTH I may only buy Sinn's in the future but even some of Sinn's prices are getting silly. So I could either get that Omega or get a MB GLC300 ugggg

Cool tech and looks good. Really pricey, but a bargain when compared to Richard Mille, and I don't have to struggle to read the time.
Re: Omega AT Ultra Light
Exactly. RM came to mind too when I saw the weight, but damn, at $10k maybe but $50k, she better be a 10, sleep over and do things that I’ll be talking about on my death bed in the retirement home!JBZ wrote:Cool tech and looks good.

Re: Omega AT Ultra Light
My Apple watch at least gives me range to the green. This Omega may be innovative but utterly useless on the course. Strap is nice though...

Then again; the distance to the green is always “too far”
Re: Omega AT Ultra Light
I guess I’d respect Omega more if they at least gave it a unique dial & handset. The Aqua Terra look is already over used with so many models.
Re: Omega AT Ultra Light
I just think it’s ugly. The AT has gone from elegant to tacky looking. Just like with RM and MB, I don’t really give a shit about the tech inside if the outside looks shitty.
Re: Omega AT Ultra Light
Whoa, such an ultra cool look ! So different, and almost futuristic, but
yowza the price really is crazy. ..Ultra uncool on that part.
But still is fun to at least see imho. ..Thanks so much for the news !

Re: Omega AT Ultra Light
Wow; just really bizarre, especially since it is not that light compared to other ti watches. I do think the crown is cool, but seems like something that can easily break.

Re: Omega AT Ultra Light
I see at that price it's target market is for the rich and stupid.
Re: Omega AT Ultra Light
Prob is someone in the market for a RM won’t pick the cheapo (to them) omega AT...not gonna happenJBZ wrote:Cool tech and looks good. Really pricey, but a bargain when compared to Richard Mille, and I don't have to struggle to read the time.
Re: Omega AT Ultra Light

Re: Omega AT Ultra Light
I really don't see that as a "problem." Most people can't afford either. If a rich person likes the look of the AT and thinks the tech in this one is cool or they just wants to spend a ton on a watch that looks good to them, they may pick this. If they have their heart set on an RM, they'll go with that. It's only watch geeks like us (me) that would make the comparison between this AT and an RM because of the weight issue. They're not aesthetically similar at all.
Plus, I figure Omega knows they're not going to sell a ton of these. Something like this is as much about providing some general brand hype as anything else.
Re: Omega AT Ultra Light
$50k for a simple three hander, no date?
Re: Omega AT Ultra Light
price seems utterly absurd, even if you like the watch...
just what Omega needs, a regular production model that only Rory can afford

What a bargain
Re: Omega AT Ultra Light
My X33 is ultralight too if I put it on a strap.

Re: Omega AT Ultra Light
It’s ugly and expensive, but that’s not the point. It’s marketing.

Re: Omega AT Ultra Light
It seems like a $50K solution looking for a problem. I can't honestly remember ever strapping on one of my watches and wishing it was a lot lighter
