Here's everything we know so far.

The Omega Seamaster "First Light" is the brand's worst kept secret. While some have speculated that the watch would be an existing SKU, the early screenshots suggest the watch is a new model, simply due to the color (potentially) but especially the strap.

We see a NATO-style strap which looks completely different from any Omega has offered recently (my history on NATO straps in the Omega catalog is shaky).

Couple of things…

I own both the 2541.80 and 2531.80 SMP’s. This is the 90's Bond SMP. 41mm case. I love the look of the watch. I have a million different bracelets and straps I can switch between. I love the Bond connection (I’m a huge James Bond fan, both books and movies). I love the 1990’s connection. I love the color, the waves, and the robust 300 meter water resistance. I love the thinness. I’ve had both watches fully serviced in the last year and they look basically new.

But here’s the problem—I…

Hi all,

I have an Omega 2264.50 with the Plan Pro modification (PO crystal/bezel/seconds hand). The modification was done over a year ago, and it ran wonderfully the last 12+ months. Just a few weeks ago it lost ~2 minutes and it then proceeded to run fine again without the battery end of life indicator. About a week ago it again lost 1-2 minutes and then proceeded to run fine.

Where can I send this watch for service? I worry that Omega will not work on a modified watch (I completely…

Do you believe Omega will roll out the 321 on a hesalite? The 322 Ed white seemed a bit thicker than the 3861 hesalite I tried on.

I called DHL and they’re going to have a Duty specialist call me with more details. Apparently just today a new duty was imposed which is causing this spike, from what DHL told me. This is ridiculous as I paid $4k for the watch.

What would you all do in this situation? I’m told if I don’t pay it that it’ll get returned back to the sender. Has…

Hi everyone,

I'm a massive fan of the old seamaster 300, my only current watch is a 2254 SMP (sword hands and big triangle).

I am interested in at some point purchasing a 165.0324 (no date), I'm sad to hear they don't produce them anymore with Omegas parts policy.

Does anyone have suggestions on the safest place to buy one? Is a forum like this one/WUS/reddit my only option.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all— I have a 38mm aqua terra, and I noticed Omega at one point offered an integrated (fitting the end links) strap on this Tokyo Olympics model. I’m wondering if anyone has this / has a way of telling me the item number. Omega doesn’t make a ton of non-rubber straps that fit the integrated end links for the Aqua Terra 38mm models, so I’m interested in this.
