Although I do like the band on it in that picture, I think you could have some fun with some natos too Because of the lug spacing (looks really narrow) I'm not sure a NATO work work. Looks like Thea rubber tab extends into the lugs. Btw - Oris is on a roll with some great designs recently. All these photos were from their Twitter feed.

Oris has always been a proper brand in my book, and the bronze is seriously in my list

What are your thoughts on this one? To me, this is another "miss" from Omega. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I still say they lost their way and are throwing models left and right hoping something sticks. The script is all wrong to me and it doesn't go with the watch at all. Same with the calendar hand. They should have made that silver and perhaps colour the tip blue. Thoughts?

Yep, too much blue, cursive script (really?), blue second and month hands are confusing too. There are a lot of misses on this particular one - kind of shocked it made it to production. So, what would people like to see at Basel this year? 1) I'd love to see a SS version of the Day Date in the 39-41 mm size range. 2) The BLNR on a jubilee 3) Thinner Omegas - solid casebacks would help

That omega is not for me, I think that watch just calls for a much more simpler dial..
