[Reaps]

Just saw these pictures up on a Chinese dealer...

Apparently VS just released the

234.30.41.21.03.001 Spectre​

Gen :



Rep :

Its a Seamaster 300 Heritage. Previous "black bezel" also - 300 Heritage.
Dont understand why they call it Spectre

 

[WayNorth]

Yes, 300 Heritage I think, but very similar looking. The Spectre doesn’t have a 12 marker, with a more movie-screen friendly large Omega logo in its place. And the Crown is a different shape. They’re both super good looking vintage-style Omegas.

I wonder how close is the tint of the blue compared to gen. Phone camera will always try to brighten it. Would love to see a side by side picture of gen and rep. In real life, the gen blue is very dark navy, like in some lighting it almost looks black. It's quite spectacular.

Which TD actually have it on their website?

 

[cheeseroyale]

Actually Ctime has it up on their website and the blue on their pictures looks much closer to gen than the above pics.

 

[cheeseroyale]

On the Ctime website, it states the bezel is unidirectional. Is it a typo or did VSF fix this?

My watch is on its way to Daddy ...

May I ask which TD you are getting it from? Did you ask if the bezel is unidirectional or bidirectional?

From Sead, Supermirrors. It only took me three days to receive the QC. According to Sead, it takes him a little longer for the black Seamaster to get them.

I didn't ask for the bezel, because it honestly wouldn't bother me.

This is going to be C&R for me. The bracelet was really janky on arrival. After multiple rounds of oil bath and ultrasonic cleaning I was able to improve the feel greatly. Also, removing the half links really helped too; the two half links provided were poorly fitted. Even after improving the bracelet, the still doesn't work for me. Not having the correct taper to 16mm on the bracelet really makes the the watch look unbalance.

Stunning watch.

Where are you based?
Do you thin the tint of the navy is similar to gen?

 

[mclarendude]

Great color though

 

[dvalenor]

The color is not very faithful to the gen I think...

Why do you think so?

A serious statement about this can only be made if you have a 1:1 comparison with the gen.

 

[Twinny]

I'm already very curious. My watch arrived at my home on Tuesday and I won't be back from a trip until tomorrow evening.

I will also post a few pictures. Also a few comparison pictures with the Spectre.

Do you have both rep and gen in your possession or have seen both in the same lighting in real life?

If not, there's no way to tell how close the tint of the color is based on separate photos taken with different cameras, lighting, etc.

That’s unfortunate. Bring back the V1 Spectre bracelet VSF!!! The V2 is such a travesty.
