And in the darkness bind them
A gift this year, the SMP was/is my favorite watch of 2023. I admit that prior to seeing this watch in person, I absolutely hated the design: the weird skeleton hands, a scalloped-edge bezel, and a giant helium escape valve… how are my eyes not bleeding? Any single one of these choices would have kept another watch from consideration but somehow the dark wizards at Omega figured it out. With a combination of black magic and a crisp white dial, this watch has a wonderful and distinctive identity in an ocean filled with forgettable dive watches (sea what I did there?).
Easily the watch seen most on my wrist this year, I fear my other watches may have grown jealous and are possibly plotting its demise. If you want to keep your stable of timepieces in good spirits, I urge you to ignore this (evil) little fella.

Nice one ! I have the SMP 300 pro chronograph where the skeleton hands have a purpose 💡
Omega's do that- I've got a SM300 heritage and I really have to consciously make an effort to wear my other watches...
Lovely 🥰
The SMP design is classic in the general sense but I feel like this white dial version is itself a classic amongst the collection.

Agreed! Of all the standard models, I think this one stands just a little bit taller when lined up against the rest. The Seaweed Green probably comes the closest, but in direct comparison I feel the white is just a bit more timeless/iconic and representative of the SMP’s sporty spirit. 🍻

It’s a great problem to have! I’m definitely not complaining, haha 🤙
I have the black. My favorite parts are the non tapering bracelet. Skeleton hands, and HEV. I also want the white one, and the blue one.
You made me wear my black one today… the white dial was my first choice but the black dial fell on my lap first…maybe I should get the white one as well to complete the Yin. & Yang theme…
Enjoy it my friend 🍻…
See its shots like these that make me regret selling it 😩
My brain rn: “Get it…go on…”

They are all fantastic watches. I’d love both the black and blue as well 😂

Great watch 👍
Thanks man 🍻
Congratulations Chauncey!
I love the 300m. The second watch I ever bought myself was a 300m and the second to last watch I bought myself was a 300m some 20+ years later.
Enjoy yours, the polar dial is a killer. 🍻

I have a 90 year old friend who was wearing a “genuine fake” Omega Seamaster purchased from the Grand Bazar in Istanbul on one of his annual 70 day cruise vacations when we were obligated to share a small cafe table at the Starbucks near his condo, my office before we became friends. Somehow he knew I am a watch enthusiast, everybody knew he was the senior with a Mercedes and license plate: JOIE de VIVRE. He made a condescending comment about the size of my Navitimer, I returned fire about how a fake Omega is not my idea of joyful living. He became a watch guy, buying items that pleases him including paying too much for a gently worn gold Patek Calatrava until one day he requested my opinion about a ceramic SMP that one of his friends won at a charity fundraising event, price was 5k cad. It has become his favourite watch never takes it off, on his most recent cruise several of the ship staff wore SMPs but his ceramic was king of the hill.
This piece is just great. Its a glaring omission in my collection. After the Atlier Wen arrives it’s my next purchase.
Welcome to the family. That white dial is a looker and a strap monster too 🍻
When I got my GoldenEye SMP, I thought the non tapered bracelet was going to be a deal breaker. Initially, I thought it was ugly and looked uncomfortable. Actually wearing it is a TOTALLY different story!! It's one of the most comfortable bracelets ever!! Plus the bracelet matches the case seemlessly
