Omega has really upped their game lately. That watch is decent looking, horologocally interesting, and the case finishing looks great.

Like the quick change strap feature....and just about everything else about it
Re: America's Cup Edition
Cool watch....I had the non Chrono version and may buy it again...like this version though
Re: America's Cup Edition
I have to say, I do like this version. Wouldn't mind owning it and having an Omega back in the collection.

Re: America's Cup Edition
Didn’t think I would want another Omega as nothing really captured my interest but I have always liked their watches and I own the Seamaster (Brosnan era). But this is very interesting and a handsome watch. Like it a lot.

Re: America's Cup Edition
I'm not in love with the watch (don't hate it, either), but I do love the quick change strap feature. What a terrific idea for us watch nerds. If the VC overseas were in my price range, I'd have bought it already just for that feature. Hopefully Omega and other watch companies will start making a feature like this standard on some of their models.rockmastermike wrote: ↑Wed Feb 24, 2021 9:39 amLike the quick change strap feature....and just about everything else about it

Re: America's Cup Edition
IWC has had that sort of thing on their dive watch forever. I'm glad to see Omega copying it. It needs to catch on.JBZ wrote: ↑Thu Feb 25, 2021 8:55 amI'm not in love with the watch (don't hate it, either), but I do love the quick change strap feature. What a terrific idea for us watch nerds.

Re: America's Cup Edition
The red and blue pushers are really the only "Doh Omega!" parts of that one.

That HeV needs to go.

That's a big No Go for me.
Re: America's Cup Edition
America's Cup final starts here Sat week,NZ vs Italy... looking forward to it.
Re: America's Cup Edition
All the individual details (case, dial, markers) are beautiful, however don't like that style of hands and just can't get into this design. Also, why the ugly HeV?

Re: America's Cup Edition
I think I like it, but can't get past whatever it is that the chrono-lock does. Thinking about that, kind of distracts me from the whole design.

Re: America's Cup Edition
I think overall it's an interesting design, I would have preferred the pushers to be traditional instead of red and blue. That being said, you have to give Omega credit for being creative in watch design, not everyone is a hit, but, at least they're not afraid to try new things.
