I am. That thing is killer.

I'll bet that it looks better IRL than in those pics though.

I like it. The bracelet version with white dial is especially appealing. I am not normally a blue dial watch person, but this looks great.

I like it too. If I do dress watches, it would be either this or their De Ville Hour Vision.

Different which is cool and not your typical dress watch. If I was into dress watches I think I wouldn't mind this. That movt looks smokin, I'd wear it backwards!

Interesting movement. I'd almost call it Omega's Explorer. For some reason, though, the single star on the dial says "Zenith" to me.
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.

The new watch certification based on new quality standards for the Swiss watch making industry.

A differentiator from COSC

Omega's way of one upping their "superlative" rival, while justifying ever increasing prices.

Bezel is too much of a Rolex rip-off for me, is there any precedence for this from Omega??

Not my picture, but this Constellation is from 1972. This is all I could find with a quick search. :shrug:

I like that they're bringing back the pie pan dial. Now if only it made it's way back to the Connies
