Possibly the best and most Informative episode I’ve watched in a long time! Really enjoyed it and appreciated it. Feeling a lot of love for Omega at the moment and really enjoying the latest SMP 300. Wonder whether the Seamaster will develop a following as strong as the Submariner? Keep up the great work!

Thank you so much for this fantastic overview of the seamasters. I love the Vintage Line and I think there is already a modern classic available when you think of the shown 2254500 (11:45 timeline). Its such a well balanced watch, has a military look and a timeless Design. Its highly collectable and I think the prizes will go up for this model because there arent so many on the market and, like the submariner for Rolex, I hope it will be an icon someday for Omega. A true classic! Thanks for mentioning!

Fantastic video. So fantastic that it probably made my search for an excellent 2254 more expensive. I’d buy a 165.024 reissue day one. I’ve even been tempted by the CWC 1980 RN reissue, but if @IDGuy has anything to say about it, I’ll be going with the Omega in the, hopefully, near future. Thanks again.

[@Daavi85]

This is why I love my first Gen 42mm Planet Ocean 2500 with matte black dial/black bezel and white tri arabics "love the open 6 and 9 font" it takes so much of it's design from the classic Omega diver's of the late 60's while still being of modern construction, I've only grown to appreciate this model more over the years, I think it's the best looking of all of the PO's and one of my favorite divers, granted yes I'm bias but I love the design and enjoy my watch. Love your work IDGuy.

Great video! My enthusiasm for buying an Omega dive watch has always been dampened by the comparison to this reference. Nothing has come close except the relatively recent 300 releases.

[@ID-Guy]

Very nicely said. I think there would be many enthusiasts out there (not only Omega lovers) who would get such a kick out of this model. It's so unique.

90% of watch brands: do their homework and innovate, while focusing on quality Rolex: copies many of the advancements and calls them their own while they release palm dials, and calls it bold

[@ID-Guy]

Sadly that's the case. So many bought patents and no boundary pushing (unless done by third parties) - but hey, they do focus on quality pretty well. Gotta give it to them that their machining and tolerances are very tight...apart from the few that get away ;)

[@rafayz9033]

This is the first video which nails why I bought the 2254.50 perfectly:same design details, svelte case, white markers (rather than the ugly aged lume). Even when faced with the option to buy the modern Seamaster, I passed because high polish and ceramic don’t belong on a tool watch. I can see Omega re-releasing this model but I’m concerned that they’ll go crazy with aged lume, massive sizing, and ceramic. Only time will tell

[@ID-Guy]

[@mmadchef808]

Sapphire bezel is the way to go. You get scratch resistance but closer to the original in appearance.

[@johnnyguitar6697]

It's an absolute mystery why Omega hasn't brought this design back. Here is what I wrote on the Revolution channel, when they interviewed Raynal Aeschlimann. If Mr Aeschliman is reading this, here is what this watch collector and enthusiast of 20+ years would like to see: - a Seamaster 300 based on the design of the reference 165.024 - dimensions: 42mm diameter, 47mm lug to lug, total thickness no more than 13mm - lyra shaped lugs and asymmetric case - screw down crown - ceramic bezel graduated for every minute with the numbers 5, 10, 15, etc. filled with lume and thin font as the first versions of the 165.024 - sword design for the hours hand, baton design for the minutes hand, tear drop shaped seconds hand - caliber 8912 - sea monster engraved case back - bracelet design based on the 1039 and 516 end piece with 20mm at the lugs and solid construction - clasp including a dive extension and easy micro-adjustment of 2 steps, each 3mm apart (allowing for position 0, +3mm, +6mm) This would be pretty amazing.

The Watchco Seamasters are showing the market potential for years. They basicly doubled in value and are on the price level of a new PO. If Omega is willing to do a reissue it should be done right.

They become more and more expensive, I'd advise people to find one before it's too crazy unfortunately :-( I found a 2000's catalogue of Omega and to my surprise the Peter Blake variations were the true Omega diver, with only a small space for the Bond model. There were lots of variations, very hard to find now.... but very interesting. Thanks again for your content.

I believe Borealis has had similar in the past. I think they might be making some more soon But, Omega will likely release a MOD style again. They definitely not afraid to tap into their last and bring them back.. they've been doing it. Sooner or later, this will be back.

[@nickdebenedetto2087]

This would be an amazing reissue! I would love to see a video in which you explain the design aesthetics of how cases and bracelets work together. To my eye, some watches just don't look right when you take them off their original bracelet while others seem to work on everything. I know this might just be a matter of personal preference, but I'd like to know if I am picking up on something more than that. For example, the Seamaster MOD looks like it would work well on anything: bracelet, nato, canvas, etc. I think the SKX and the Speedy are other examples of this same phenomenon. On the flip side, there are other watches like the Seiko Monster, the Rolex 16570, and several of the other maxi case Rolexes that just don't look right to my eye on anything other than the bracelet. I would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks for the great content!

[@ID-Guy]

Great point Nick and funny, I've been battling with this whole idea for a while too! Try as I might, the Seamaster 57 in the video is always on its bracelet. The others I have in the collection all are either on Rubber, Leather or Nylon (and the colours & styles of the materials all depend on the watch) This is well worth making a video around and thank you for the idea (glad I'm not the only one) ;)

[@papalimbo]

It has been my question for my entire life, it’s my grail watch. Why Omega does not produce anymore the best diver of all times, an instant classic, the only serious competitor of the Rolex Sub, the only Omega icon in addition to the Moonwatch? It was you the only one to intercept it, I’m astonished by our tuning. Emotioned. Best watch channel, we share the same soul and esthetic vision bro! Hugs from Italy, Davide

[@jeremydahm2124]

Totally rethinking my opinion on the modern vintage watches even the fauxtina part. Whenever I see a video that showcases all the vintage beauties I run to chrono to check prices. Then I consider the operating costs, fragility... Watches like the BB58 and the Seamaster 300, Oris 65, do such a good job of capturing the vibe. Hopefully Omega will do this watch... Very well scripted video. ID never disappoints us.

[@michaelfierman3256]

Great presentation as always IDG, so would you envision this as another iteration in the Seamaster range or potentially replacing the SMP? I mean I wonder about the fact that they already have layers upon layers under the Seamaster range, with so many SKUs accordingly. If they made the Aqua Terra and Railmaster their own separate lines that would help I suppose. Their website is a labyrinth. Congrats on the colab!

[@ID-Guy]

A labyrinth is putting it mildly ;) There was a great suggestion in the comments that they could release it as a variant of the Planet Ocean line, like the "PO Military" or just the "Seamaster Military". I'll admit, there are many ways they could integrate the idea. Regardless, something tells me it would be their hottest seller by a landslide (maybe surpassing the likes of the SMP if done right) pretty crazy to think, right?

[@jameshoward9700]

One of your best! The Seamaster dive line certainly justifies further development by Omega. I think the PO is the platform for delivering this classic aesthetic (aside from a straight recreation a la Trilogy 300, which FWIW, obv, I'd support!): The PO-MOD?! The PO shares similarities of form (case, proportions), if not size - if it adopted the classic sword hands, it would be close. I think to be a big seller, the POMOD would need to gain refinements the modern market demands (applied markers principally). I also think the MOD is over marked and it's triangle 12 and minute batons could tone down. Seamaster dials/hands were a bit hectic. Coherent, but a lot of energy in those sharps and spikes! Im a big fan of the 165.014's dial and simple hands - I think a great inspiration for future SM300s. But, I absolutely agree with your Speedy Pro parallel: Omega need to establish a conservative, classic bedrock to their ranges that they can supplement with characteristic, frothy special editions throughout the product run (injecting sales and maintaining exposure). But, their ranges do need grounding. The original PO was heading in that direction, but subsequently has become a little sugary, with no anchor model. I agree that a toughened up, mid-size PO, housing the latest calibre movement and sporting the key cues of the MOD would be fantastic. And as the Sea Dweller has lost its roots with a cyclops wart and the 50F grown too massive, such a Seamaster could do well in the market. But, I suspect we'll be seeing new POs before too long! 2022, surely?

[@ID-Guy]

I reckon many would love an example like the 164.014 in a professional case. Those pencil hands and cleaner looking dial would be excellent! Great insights here James. Especially like your thinking around how it could be integrated as the "grounded" model, going back to basics. AND just imagine the watch sticking it to the likes of the Fifty Fathoms Military (a watch that we'd all love to be a mainstay, but never is released over a batch of 500 pieces) - From a business point of view, competitively and when looking at what a dent this model could make, I feel it would be such a smash hit. Thank you for all of this James!

We've done a collab in the past and they really are a great team to work with! Thank you, brother ;)

Great video, I love omega

[@ID-Guy]

A brand that's near and dear to my heart as well (always will be) Thank you for the comment Miguel!

My dad owns a big triangle with date - he bought it for £5 from a carboot in horrendous condition. He had to replace a number of parts (including hands) so it's probably not as valuable as a good condition piece but still pretty awesome!

[@ID-Guy]

It's amazing where these original models ended up over the years. But still, your dads watch deserves to be kept. Nothing beats an original (especially a "barn find") ;)

[@jim_bocho]

Just stumbled across this. Yes, I’d love a reissue as well - however I’m more drawn to the 166.024 - I missed one in excellent condition for a very reasonable price earlier this year and can’t stop thinking about it (when I’m thinking about watches, that is 😉). I think that’s the closest I’ll come to a „grail“ watch.

[@andrewgiblin3468]

I have a beautiful 1969 166.024 (so the date version) and it's probably my favorite watch, even more than my vintage Rolex Submariner and Explorer II.

[@bani_niba]

I ask myself this question all the time. The MOD design is so beautiful. Just add applied indices - please.

[@ID-Guy]

I think it's one of those things that have been on so many of our minds over the last few years. It just feels like they're itching to pull the trigger on the idea at this point. And thank you for the comment Bani! I'm sure they'd add some flair in a few places if they did decide to bring it back for everyone (hopefully)

[@franksbr]

No, no and no. Applied indices ruin the whole tool watch vibe. The painted indices of the 2254.50 is a big part of what makes the watch a classic. Save the glamour for the dress watches. Just my opinion, of course. :)

[@antonylimbouris1992]

How many more years we gonna have to wait for this watch 😅

[@queenofcool4400]

I can’t see why they wouldn’t do this. I’m ok with slight changes, but keeping it more tool oriented and less dressy. Could easily make it an addition to the PO line. Personally would love it just the way it is, but with a HEV 😍

[@mannyfernandez1713]

A good alternative to the MOD Seamaster is the certina DSPH200M, it looks like it, it feels like a professional diver and it has TONS of history, though I’d loooove to have both the cerina and the MOD seamaster 2 watches I adore

[@rickfanning5647]

Wonder if Omega wants/needs the new Bond movie to actually come out before they would consider another version of the professional line. For obvious reasons, the timing is off since they released the new Bond watch already. The 50th Anniversary GMT Seamaster is another example with some of the design of the MOD. It has a triangle at the 12 and trapezoid markers (and does NOT have the helium release value). It’s also just a brilliant watch, but 20 plus years old now. The version you mocked-up would do very well with all the modern tech Omega could put in it.

[@pei8988]

I think Omega should produce a limited edition of this watch to test out the water, then then can see is it worth their effort to create another line on vintage inspired seamaster! Even just a dial from the past and current gen seamaster case will be good enough for me

[@ID-Guy]

You're 100% right looking at their track record... There are some rare cases where they've limited the limited editions though ;) Ed White's & The new James bond SMP could be on the right track in this category. And thank you for the comment, brother!

[@adbraham]

I’ve been hoping for some time now that Omega re-release this model, updated for the 21st century of course!

[@ID-Guy]

All we can do is hope that our thoughts are realised (maybe a video like this will be passed to the right people) and thank you so much for the comment, Adrian! Fingers crossed!

[@chrischiang1512]

I have been waiting for this reissue for a few years already. I have the 2254 but i would without a blink buy it if they reissue the mod

[@BiffTannenBTTF]

We'll see it in 2024 for sure. 60th anniversary.

[@ID-Guy]

Some have mentioned an anniversary year would be ideal & I'm all for it! What an awesome release it would make! Thanks for this Jim

[@juanluisgonzalezb.4736]

Great video as always! I am sorry but I do not want to see any yellow on a watch dial unless it's really old! Haha...

[@ID-Guy]

Nice point Juan. They could go down both routes (maybe offering a clean and patina dial) That might be a good way to test what the market wants ;) Hope you're well, sir and have an excellent weekend!

[@juanluisgonzalezb.4736]

@@ID-Guy Thank you! Likewise my friend!

[@K5ingh007]

I’ve been waiting for many years for a recreation of this. Almost settling for the recent 300 or the new bond watch. None really compete with the MOD edition though. I really hope omega is looking at Tudor at the moment with their example of the FXD and if they do eventually release this, please don’t release a absurdly priced Canopus gold version (rolling eye emoji)
