New Omega prices in 2025

I’d like to buy a new Omega, and I’m wondering whether prices are likely to go up or down over the coming months.

Ideally I’d wait a couple of months until the timing suits my finances better, but if prices are likely to go up in the coming months, that would be a mistake for me.
