Yes, that is the new SuperOcean. It has grown on me quite well.

It's the new model. I like the way they've presented the hollow numbers - on a dark dial. On a light dial like the yellow, I htink they disappear into the watch. A black contrasting contour line instead of shadows would have been good.

My thoughts as well, I wasn't sure at first, but someone just recently posted pics somewhere in here, it looks brilliant

I just looked at one of these new models the other day at an AD. When I first saw a picture on here of the new model I didn't think I'd like it but now after seeing it in person I like it better over the previous model. Also something that stood out is the wings, they made them bigger and I think it looks better but that's just my personal opinion.

I saw a black dial one at an AD. Personally, I like the newer dial over the old one. I like how Superocean is written in red and it does seem like the wings are bigger than the previous version. I think it's an upgrade over the previous version.

I like the new dials, but the "15" partially cut off with the date window irritates the heck out of me. Why couldn't they just move the date window slightly to the right? There is room.

Maybe I'm nitpicking, but I would like to see it changed.
