I have the 39.5mm Deep Black ceramic case version, it's truly stunning. The thickness is a non issue on the wrist. I want the white version in the video (or the Tokyo 2020)

I reeeeally debated about that because I love it too - in the end went with the basic version as I think it’s more classic.

@@joshswatches I have the Tokyo version and have the opposite reaction from you. I probably would not have bought the all white version as I like the second glance nature of the red accents and the fact I did live in Tokyo for a few years in the 90s so i have that connection. That said, I too have had it a little over a year and agree with all your points but haven't had it on a nato yet. Also have the exact same scratches on the clasp as yours from diving at my desk! Cheers.

Ah that’s awesome, David! I was seriously debating about the Tokyo one because I was born there and still hold dual US/JP citizenship (that I don’t make nearly enough use of). In a perfect world where I could have had both, you’d better believe I would have both. 😜

@@joshswatches the funny thing is the PO wasn't at the top of my list but at some point in 2020 I must have seen it and inquired online at Omega. I then forgot about it until about a year later I got an email that my local Omega Boutique had one. I went it and tried it on the white strap and was a bit ambivalent so I said I would think about it. About a week later I called them up and asked them to put it on the bracelet (As you know the Tokyo version comes with the bracelet, a white leather/rubber strap, and a grayish nato) and I would come back try it on again and that is what sold me. They also threw in an additional Omega blue and white nato is which has stripes that represent the lanes on a track and has 1 through 8 engraved on the steel minder. Pretty cool.

@@kofiofosu9051 Personally, I find the 42mm wears much smaller. Almost equivalent to a 40mm watch (i.e. Submariner). What makes it even better is the titanium. You hardly notice it on your wrist.

Definitely go and see it in person if you can, but I’ve never had any issues with legibility. What helps is that the framing around the indices as well as the hands are mirror finished so they’re going to reflect back whatever is around you and that helps as it creates contrast against the white. If you want a white omega and this one doesn’t work, the 300 Pro has a white dial with a black bezel and black hands.

Yes, Omega reduced from 28,800 to 25,200 to perfect the coaxial escapement. The 2500 A and B series calibers were problematic. The 2500C they reduced the beat rate. The 2500D was a move to three level coax from the two level of the previous iterations. All 2500s were based on the venerable ETA 2892. The 2500D was the last of these before Omega went full in-house with the 8500/9300 coax. Interesting stuff.
