I think a better move than releasing a reissue is to release a thinner Planet Ocean but with 300 WR in a 40 or 42. Since the 165.024 is what the PO is trying to be, then this move would be the perfect nod to the vintage Seamaster without overshadowing both it and the SMP.

They should, because this is one of the best looking dive watches ever made. These would sell like crazy. Especially if they have all the goodies of the co-axial movement and a top-tier flat link bracelet. Make it without a date for symmetry and it will be perfect.

Bought mine in 1979 and it has been in my family ever since. Has it completely rebuilt in 2010 by Omega, kept all the old parts. The only weakness was the bracelet which was never man enough for the job. Contained small springs like the early submariners. Much better on a NATO.

I could imagine they'll do a normal steel version and some exotic titanium or ceramic version as a limited edition knowing Omega. The issue they've always had with the SM300 Heritage is it sat awkwardly in the middle of the SM300Pro, Planet Ocean, Black Bay and Submariner (back when they were available), and depending on what price and style most consumers wanted, they would tend to gravitate to the other alternatives. I can see this sitting awkwardly with the SMP and SM300 lines, but then again it is Omega and they aren't exactly miserly when it comes to additional product lines! 😂

A long time ago I had an SMP and found that even a little bit of water and I couldn’t hope to move the bezel. Then I got into the PO and after that I found the 165.024/5. I would love to see a premium new version of that come out.

It’s either this or the 54 for me

Here's hoping - an excellent, impassioned plea! I'd agree, if it wasn't for the Fifty Fathoms. SWATCH cannot afford to queer the pitch for Act 3, which will make or break Blancpain over the short term. They are notoriously careful about crashing big releases - the delayed Type XX held back the Air Command but then the whole retro pilot thing was pulled in response to Breitling's AVI 765 (you'd have thought a trivial matter). As the anniversary of the Seamaster is slightly variable depending on version, they could easily claim next year (or '25, '26, '27...) was the anniversary. But I'm as eager as you - the only everyday diver at the level of the Sub, though I'd like to see a modern update to the design, sans the normal Omega glitz and whimsy.

I think Omega should take some of their vintage designs back, and change a bit more than a color, or a small change on the dial or bezel. Thanks mate for the video.

I’d die for a modern reincarnation of this watch! FMD!!

Even if Omega did bring back the old Seamaster 300, I don’t have any faith in their design department to get it right. They’ll do at least one thing to botch it, like put a count down bezel on it, make it larger, use the skeleton hands, etc. *The only change I wouldn’t mind seeing is a switch to the standard round hour markers/cross layout found on the current Seamaster Co-axial (and most other divers). That would be a proper merging of the past & present designs I could get behind.

@ID-Guy

The only thing that bothers me is they might make an excellent 1:1 recreation of the watch but the thickness might be an issue...somehow they end up cranking out 18mm thick cases and find it acceptable 😆

I really hope you're right about it coming out. I really hope you're wrong about it being an expensive 321 Ed White type of product. A 1:1 reissue would have me reaching for my credit card without a doubt... but there's been something about Omega these last few years that makes me think that they can't quite trust their original designs. The 1957 Trilogy was the last time they did and that was quite a while ago now... The 321 Ed White reissue is a case in point - why the sapphire sandwich? It's not historically correct or space-compatible, and while I get that the movement was a thing for many collectors who might like to see it, strange that they don't offer it in the hesalite/solid case back flavour. And so, I find it difficult to believe that Omega is capable or reissuing the 165.024 1:1. A display case back seems inevitable. While I hope to be proven wrong, I am preparing for disappointment. Fingers crossed.

Some questions that came to mind while watching: What was the very first Seamaster with a GMT hand? The first with a 24 hour bezel? Was it post-2000 or is there a historical reference? I wonder if the Seamaster 300 heritage line will see a GMT version, since they've been willing to add some modern elements to the latest iteration of it...

I would love to see it, but it's not going to happen. It would compete directly with the [current] Seamaster 300 in their Heritage Collection. Which, not incidentally, was updated only a couple of years ago.

Are you ever going to revive your epic live streams?

I wouldn't mind if they used the Planet Ocean platform for this. Of course, a '57 trilogy approach would be coolest. But if they tweak an existing platform, like with the anniversary Bond Seamaster, the Planet Ocean is the one. Heck, the first gen 2201 POs the were clearly a "grandchild" of the mil-spec Seamaster 300. The modern POs are too shiny and luxury-centered, but replacing the bezel with aluminum (or matte ceramic / brushed steel etc.) and adding a custom dial and handset would go a long way.

I hope they release it, but I am sure it will be as limited and wait listed as the Ed White. Probably in the same price range as well...

Since Omega seems to gave struggled to get 2022 launches into ADs, even now, I do wonder if there are ‘issues’ behind the scenes?
