@jjDemir it's an NZL-32 seamaster from 2007. Here's some more info. https://stories.omegaforums.net/etnz-32/

It's big but surprisingly wearable on my 6.75" wrist.

@Balanced right on! It's an NZL-32 from 2007. It's not svelte (42 x 15.5 x 50 mm) but wears surprisingly well (6.75" wrist). Love the execution of the regatta timer and odd layout of the watch. The hands have cutouts so as to avoid obscuring the subdials which is pretty neat.

@dsoyke it's an NZL-32. made for a few years starting 2007. They aren't common but come up for sale fairly regularly.

Neovintage (late 90s / early 00s) Omega is my jam. So many good designs, well made, and can be had for a good price.

For new, Seiko has my number... From the Willard to the Arnie to their chronos. So many good options.
