Not sure about that yet. I don't like the fact that the clasp does not have micro adjustment and the only way to size is with the links. Even if they do have half size. It is not the same. And the links have collars (like the C2/C20 and Seiko Monster bracelets) so are a nightmare to change. My first impression is that the bracelet is nowhere near the quality of the Breitling bracelets and the CWL C4/C7 bracelets stands up quite well to it.

No problem. I like the dial. Not sure I would do the second hand as well.

Better than a Bond? Yep.
Indeed. The PO is a lot better especially with the crystal which looks like it is not there on the PO but the SM does catch the reflections. It is slightly domed as well which does not help. But although I thought about a PO I found that when I saw the pictures of this one it had more appeal to me.

I did google but got swamped by results and nothing jumped out.
The Omega web site still has a lot of information. On this model.

They have a nice FAQ which describes differences between some models - specifically the Bond ones.

I chose the Trident as a comparison as they are both divers with a wavy black dial. Although the Omega is 41 mm compared to 42mm for the Trident, it looks bigger. The flatter bezel and thinner body make it look quite large on the wrist. I was thinking the same myself and came to the conclusion that if the C60 had the same lume as the Omega I would prefer the C60. While the Omega is nice it did not blow me away when I picked it up. Wearing it for a while it does grow on you and it passed the driving in the dark test where I could glance at the watch and read the time. When you look at the cost of a C60 Trident it is amazing value for money. And delightfully quirky with the trident seconds hand.
Although the Omega has a 120 click bezel as it is so thin and flat it is hard to get a grip of to turn it.
