2025 Omega Speedmaster? I Predict The Omega Watches For Next Year

[@RinMagoo22]

Full ceramic speedy would go insane

[@the1916company]

I'd love to see this. Full bracelet, too! Best, Tim

[@dannysimenauer5745]

Tim, appreciate the shout out at the end of the video. The best part of Rolex not allowing you to review their products is you get a lot more time to review other brands! Always enjoy learning from your knowledge.

[@the1916companywatchreviews]

It's definitely hurting the viewership on the show. I can't even talk about the brand for comparative purposes, cover it from a news standpoint, or mention it as part of a broader collecting feature. Hopefully, we can get past that stage of the vendor/OEM relationship soon. Best, Tim

[@coldteeth24]

How can Rolex control what Tim does?

[@Travis_Tanner]

@@the1916companywatchreviewsI'm not sure I would tune in to a Rolex heavy show, and I know I'm not alone in this. Well, I probably would because I enjoy the show, but I honestly find them kind of boring. Great show as always, Tim!

[@dannysimenauer5745]

@ The 1916 Corp has a huge contract as an Authorized Dealer of both new and CPO Rolex. Tim has mentioned in prior vids that this contract prevents him from discussing Rolex on his show.

[@coldteeth24]

@@dannysimenauer5745 Wow, that is totally pathetic

[@AbdulRWatches]

Thanks for the shout out, Berlin was great. I tried the SMP blue one with no date, and I have to say I kind of liked the smaller and slimmer size. I hope Omega makes their watch slimmer, smaller, and less collections and special editions. Great show as always from Tim and crew.

[@the1916companywatchreviews]

I would love to see Omega throw some real money at thinning its movements. The engineering and financial resources are right there at Swatch Group. Honestly, I'd be happy to just see variants of the Blancpain 1315 and Breguet 777 brought over with less elaborate finishing to power Omega watches. The F385 chrono in a Speedmaster would be wild. Best, Tim

[@chrisjetko4220]

Thanks Tim for another fantastic and thought-provoking show!

[@the1916company]

My pleasure! It's always fun to attack a new subject each week. I try to share a different kind of perspective than the other YT watch channels. Even if I don't get the views, I'm happy to be the only person in the space speaking to a specific topic each week. Best, Tim

[@NealBenham]

Glad to be here Dr. Ben from Naples

[@PT-xx9jz]

Thank you Tim & team

[@jimmillett9224]

Another fantastic show! I so hope Tim is correct about a full ceramic 42mm Moonwatch.

[@the1916companywatchreviews]

Thanks, Jim! A full CE 42mm Moonwatch would be welcome... but a full BRACELET ceramic Moonwatch would break the internet. The waiting list would stretch to Ed White levels or more. Price would be important. I'd like to see Omega bring that to market at no more than $12,000, but I suspect it would be more with a full bracelet. Maybe cap the price at Daytona levels around $15,000. Best, Tim

[@nikr1d3r32]

Wow that pic with 4 titanium Yachtmaster on the same table was crazy!!!

[@crushedagave420]

Oh no!! Watch prices are plummeting 1:54 and now Tim is cutting back by keeping the thermostat at 33 degrees to save money. 😂. Great video Tim!!!

[@the1916company]

You're not wrong about the temperature in that room. Thanks for watching! Best, Tim

[@JamesCarian]

Omega, a great brand with such a vast catalogue. Always interesting to hear you break down and ponder what may be coming. I do love some of the Tresor pieces, really like that look. Would be cool to see them get into complications within that line! Thanks Tim!

[@the1916companywatchreviews]

I would love to see some Tresor complications. A manual-wind chronograph, a perpetual calendar, or an alarm would be really cool. All of those in a Tresor would open up new product categories where Omega isn't active right now. Best, Tim

[@wolfgang7192]

sure hope for relaunch of PO, thinner and without outside helium at 10 🤞🏻

[@the1916companywatchreviews]

This would be excellent. The original PO from 2005 used caliber 2500. Ironically, the first and least sophisticated PO was the thinnest by far. Best, Tim

[@andhenny]

Tim, your industry insight and ideas a tip top. I couldn’t agree more. Also, great viewpoint on the strategy of Omega’s seemingly incoherent catalogue… yes, exactly and they’re smart for doing it.

[@david.9633]

Great video, Tim

[@the1916companywatchreviews]

Thank you for this kind feedback, David! Best, Tim

[@sycopupy]

Full ceramic along with bracelet would get my attention for sure.

[@jeffnaber]

Would go absolutely nuts for a ceramic speedy with ceramic bracelet

[@snowashesfilm]

Tim’s hat is watch KZbin’s biggest mystery!

[@dannysimenauer5745]

@@snowashesfilm In order to cut production costs, Danny Govberg cut off the heat in Tim’s studio!

[@bagushariadi]

Thanks for putting my pixels on this pixels Tim. Much appreciate.b🙏🏽 My bet on omega 2025: Omega SMP 38mm with no helium escape valve on precious metal. 😄

[@the1916company]

Interesting choice. I can imagine a mid-size Diver 300m. There used to be such a thing, the 2551.80. As for precious metal, I'm less certain. Maybe as a launch edition of some kind? Best, Tim

[@netanelostrov3425]

As always Tim, I absolutely love your work❤️ I’m sorry everyone keeps bothering you about your hat… I’m here for your knowledge and expertise, not to critique your fashion choices:)

[@CiscoVilla]

I wouldn’t be surprised if one of those MoonSwatch releases make their way into the Speedmaster line

[@the1916company]

That, or we wind up with a Speedmaster "Bio Ceramic" bracelet on the MoonSwatch! That definitely wouldn't be the "full ceramic" bracelet I had in mind. Best, Tim

[@AW-qm6tp]

Holy cow! I’ve always said that if a Grey Side came out in the same size as a Speedy Pro, I would beg Omega to take my money! 😮

[@logwind]

enjoyed the show tim. ceramic speedmaster pro would be something! always admired the dark and grey sides but they're too large.

[@the1916company]

Agreed. The 42mm size seems so obvious. I'd be shocked if we don't see a ceramic case in that size soon. Or, maybe we get a ceramic Pre-Moon case at 39.7mm. Both would be cool. We could get a black ceramic caliber 321 Ed White and nickname it the Ed Black. Best, Tim

[@BobGolob]

Vive la différence, Tim nailed it.

[@localheroEd]

Omega QP sounds good, I’ll take mine in a Globemaster or Heritage Seamaster please. Sadly I predict new colourways not new movements. We can but dream. All the best, Ed

[@jumboJetPilot]

I’m surprised full ceramic hasn’t made it to market other than AP yet. I’m also surprised Omega hasn’t done full bracelets with their bronze gold.

[@BenJefferson-m5s]

I think Rado have been doing full ceramic for years now. I know they’re nit always seen as part of the forefront of the watch scene in most of the world but they do make them.

[@jumboJetPilot]

@ yeah, that’s true! I didn’t think about Rado.

[@craigmcinnis8750]

Okay, I bet you didn’t say this on purpose but I am dieing waiting for a ceramic bezel, Seamaster Diver 300 based GMT without the external relief valve. Maybe in a beautiful sky blue, moonlight black bezel and black dial with date and some white gold or polished steel touches. Include a rubber and black he speedmaster moonwatch professional steel bracelet. I have the new white dial sapphire sandwich with that bracelet and it is absolutely amazing. Maybe some additional adjustment would be nice but it really doesn’t need it! I wanted the one from the big guys but I am not sure that is ever going to happen.

[@BradyPuryear]

A thin, full ceramic with bracelet Grey Side Speedy would be absolutely perfect ❤ but it MUST be under 13.5mm thick for the real win. Unfortunately I think the retail on that would be $18k+ to which I’d understand but not sure Omegas buyers would be so keen to spend.

[@C.M.Cummings]

I anticipate that Omega will find a way to use that 9K gold again, guaranteed. Maybe in a 2025 speedy.

[@BobGolob]

I m waiting for an omega in house speedmaster split second for a long time... Breitling already did it with the Premier line...

[@CESONER]

Cheers Tim, very interesting subject today. Respectfully, Le Mans and all, that Mazda guy has never driven a 12 cylinder Ferrari. Any vintage. Ok ✌🏽

[@the1916company]

The Mazda definitely had volume, but I liked the 1990s Ferrari 333SP even better. First, because I remember the open cars of the period as my initiation to sports prototype racing. Second, because a punched out 4.0L Ferrari GP V12 in a Le Mans prototype sounded mental. I remember it had so much power that as late as 1998, the Kevin Doran's 333SP was catching that year's Le Mans winning Porsche 911 GT1-98 down the back straight at Road Atlanta. The Ferrari couldn't quite match the turbo Porsche out of the turns, but by the time the V12 came onto its cams at the end of the straight, only the braking zone could save the GT1. Best, Tim

[@CESONER]

Wow your memory is iron clad to remember details like that. I have a vivid recollection of my father taking me to the Concours d’Elegance at Pebble Beach every year from the very early 70s when I was barely walking and talking. I saw some of the most rare Ferraris of all different types cross that little stage by the clubhouse on the green and have heard some of the most legendary 12 cylinder Ferraris revved to red line. Blowing smoke and a little flame to show the crowd why things are what they are. No cars I’ve ever heard at any race track match those notes and tones. One car guy to another, I noticed your Oldsmobile & Buick(?) shirts lately and I’ll just say my last 2 dogs were named Cutlass Supreme and Skylark GSX. Peace ✌🏽

[@AndrewKandel-zh7mo]

The aventurine moonphase (professional) has a date around the moon.

[@the1916company]

Yes it does. But it's got a way to go before it becomes and annual or perpetual calendar. Best, Tim

[@AndrewKandel-zh7mo]

@ very true

[@sharponsocks889]

All hope is given up for a 40mm seamaster 300?

[@salvadorcano4494]

I'm looking forward to seeing a SMP with a gmt function.

[@boots_n_coots]

Ceramic bracelet? Ooo. Sign me up!

[@JohnI-mi9tu]

Will that one-off gold/burgundy omega Daniel Craig recently wore make it to production?

[@ALL-il1sw]

I disagree on power reserve. Why does it need to be bigger?

[@joewhite6875]

Tim is into watches too?! I’m a crossover from his beanie channel!

[@cdaack]

I think Omega is going to do more of the same as they did at the end of this year: keep rolling out special edition SMPs and Moon Watches. I don’t think anything spectacular or a different direction is coming any time soon. They’re killing it with their releases, and if they can manage to jump ahead of Cartier in sales they won’t make any bold moves.

[@YukiTsunoda7]

*nice show too bad i missed it, Just Bought A Hamilton Field watch as a gift and the feed back is glowing, and apparently the power reserve it pushing 80+ hrs*

[@angelosc1795]

One of the very rare moments I will disageee with you Tim: lugless Seamaster is a bad idea. The wear amd tear on the strap will be very pronounced. Comfort is reduced too. I love my Seamaster Planet Ocean (43.5 mm). I just wish it was thinner

[@the1916company]

No issues there. It could work exactly like the vintage Omega Dynamic. Check out how the lugless interface worked on those in the late 1960s, and you can see where I'm going with this. Best, Tim

[@hayesjam]

A modern Seamaster chronograph with calibre 321 ... I would be the VERY first in line!!!!!!!!

[@markhellie6837]

Sadly, because the 321 is made in very limited production design atelier, I think they might stop making the Ed White and only sell the 321 in precious metal watches (like canopus gold or platinum).

[@CRay-pc2hu]

Thanks Tim, great show.

[@MTbone7]

Tim looking like Eminem tonight. Always a good show

[@fieldwalker]

New tapered bracelet on the SM300? Or make the speedy as popular as the market defying Daytona: screw down pushers!!

[@achuck4321]

Tim, you points are all correct and what we want as collectors. But Omega will not change these right now. They are capitalizing on a now-marginal cost of producing long tooth movements and designs during an economic downturn. So long as they see growth in revenue, they will not put our major changes. Not in this market.

[@jnuty85]

Here's what I hope omega comes out with, their aqua terra shades in either 36 or 38 mm. And not the ladies model I want the men's line just shrunk down a few mm.

[@the1916company]

Well, we've had a 38mm Aqua Terra. Check out the older ones, because a few were even built as annual calendars. They're extremely worthwhile watches. Best, Tim

[@goldenskies9884]

Aqua terra shades is already 38mm.

[@jnuty85]

@@the1916company Dreams really do come true

[@netanelostrov3425]

Tim, which would you recommend? The Aqua Terra annual calendar 38 mm in red gold, or the De Ville annual calendar in red gold? I found the Aqua Terra for a great price but I feel like the De Ville is just so much more fascinating.

[@SachaMajidian]

2025 is the fiftieth anniversary of the Omega Soyutz… no prediction on this?

[@VegasCanuck-h2u]

Your multi-faceted critique about Omega's 8500 movement was fully on point, Tim, especially with respect to thickness. Any update or replacement movement will need integrated chronograph and integrated GMT versions as well. They really need to do away with the modular bolt-on-tops for these functions. I actually think they are waiting for the new movement before updating their Planet Oceans, to better address the wearability issue that you raised. So it actually may not launch in the De Ville line, as one might otherwise expect.

[@the1916company]

It's definitely time. With new developments on the movement essentially having run their course, the 8500 generation will be well remembered, but a clean slate is needed. A longer power reserve, thinner construction, and possibly a separate clean-slate chronograph with full integration of the complication -- no modular additions -- is the way to go. 16-20mm needs to be an extreme dive watch, not the average of mainstream models. You're spot-on that the Planet Ocean would be the ideal place to launch a new caliber family -- if it's profoundly slimmer than previous mechanisms. Best, Tim

[@garysteiner3342]

Hi Tim! Hoping to contribute to your list, though a bit late to the show!
