A must for a collector..and Canadians

03_Seamaster_Vancouver_2010.jpg

The ref# of the new Seamaster Vancouver model is: 212.30.41.20.04.001

and it features the Co-Axial cal. 2500. The classic Seamaster case is 41mm

in diameter.

Omega seems to have kept kept both, the color-scheme(s) of Canada's

National Flag and the white shade(s) of a "winter" setting... both quite

appropriate in this case...! but truth is never liked red in watches....

I must admit that I quite like the red color of the rotating bezel...

the contrast between the white dial and the red (reportedly made of anodized

aluminium - much like the Alaska Project's outer protective case) bezel.

Coupled with the - by now - classic lines of this Seamaster model, it makes

for a very nice & interesting watch!

And with this announcement now "out of the way", enough room is left for

many more interesting & intriguing (I hope red.gif !) announcements for this year's

BaselWorld!

Have a nice Sunday everybody!

All the best Said Pete

I prefer the black face chrono with subdials one they have in the UK adverts

I think its the new Aqua Terra GMT It has the Olympics Rings on it so I guess its an official watch as well

Nah.. I prefer the 1994 Lillehammer Olymic Wintergames Seamaster! :)

It was delivered in a box with five leatherstraps in the colors of the Olymoic rings. Quartz only, unfortunately.

Terrible, who designed this, there is no contrast, you would have to search for the hands to tell the time.

Now imagine this with the same treatment as the rolly ex 2 white with black hands and marker surrounds, a far better watch! they may as well have printed the date wheel white on white also

not a huge fan either... maybe just the movement. C.2500.

Anyone in Vancouver should stop by the Hotel Vancouver. Omega has set up shop for the duration of the Olympics. But don't expect much in the way of museum pieces.

But JoJo, if you are reading this, there is a guy from 5th Ave that is working there that we met.
