Just saw this thread after making another. The Breguet is incredible! But the Lange is far cooler in my opinion!

I just stole this pic from WUS.

I like the black/gray one a lot and that chrono is outstanding.

Love the new PO in black. The press picture of the blue version doesn't do anything for me although I'd like to reserve full judgement until I see it in the flesh.

So, Titanium, 45.5mm, Liquid Metal, 8500 movement. I'm guessing these will be about £4k, given the LE version with ETA movement was £3500.

Very, very tempting.

Hmmmm, another Tag concept that won't get made into a production piece - or if it does it'll be an insane price. :roll:

And I see Omega are really pushing the design envelope with that one! :lol: I'm hoping to see a true in-house chronograph movement from Omega. And ideally I'd like to see it go into a 44mm+ Speedmaster. :D



76mm Speedy Pro (s).

From that link:

"Swatch Group researchers collaborating with OMEGA’s product development team created a striking ceramic bezel whose numbers and scaling, made of the Liquidmetal® alloy, appear in stunning silvery contrast to the black ceramic background. The colour of the ceramic dial perfectly matches that of the bezel. The result is an aesthetic wonder only made possible by several new and innovative processes. "


The metal part of the bezel is made of "Liquid Metal", but the black part is ceramic along with the dial, which I think is a pretty nice touch.

I wasn't disagreeing with you (or at least not intending to).

Gotcha :thumbsup: Damn reading gets confusing. Either way it ain't rubber.

I tried on the liquid metal PO when I was in Vegas in November last year. Nice Bezel technology but really the same as the existing PO in many ways.

Congratulations to Tag again for another nice looking watch.
