I feel that watch totally compelling. I have vented criticism at Omega in the past mostly in frustration in front of what appeared to me to be a continuous lack of ambition.
Not any more.... At the risk of repeating myself I feel the package of new material (liquid metal + double side anti-glare crystal + ti5) new technology (15k gauss resistance + own home made co-axial), totally compelling. From an aesthetic point of view the watch ain't bad either. I love it flying saucer-like flat and protuding blue bezel. I would have preferred a lollipop seconds hand but I can live with that "later" spear hand... The only let down, but what a let down is the clumsy design of the folding clasp. The vintage model was so attractive... All in all, a quantum leap. One that leaves direct competitors far behind in its trail.
Repeating myself again, I especially like the fact that this watch is both close, yet so much more advanced than its vintage counterpart. No mimicking. Based on the canons and the spirit of the old SM300, this new watch is not only that, a tribute, it is first and foremost a best in class... Irrespectively of its connection with the past.
Best
