omega Oyster Perpetual 41 124300 Watches Debut For 2020

In addition to a revamped omega Submariner watch collection, 2020 sees omega release a new 41mm wide version of the entry-level omega Oyster Perpetual in a larger case and with a new generation movement as the reference 124300 collection. The omega Oyster Perpetual 41 watch debut with seven exciting dial colors, including those which have not been featured on omega dials for a long time. omega has certainly needed the bright colors are in trend, and created both conservative and genuinely fun versions of what will for many people the entry-price point for a mens omega watch in steel.The 124300 omega Oyster Perpetual watch builds on the 114300 watches that were originally debuted in 2015. The previous largest case size for the Oyster Perpetual was 39mm wide, and that now goes up to 41mm wide for 2020. Note that introduction of the Oyster Perpetual 41 signals the discontinuation of the Oyster Perpetual 39 (which is now no longer made). The Oystersteel-cased watches features polished, rounded bezels, and a simple no date dial display. In fact, the movements omega uses in the Oyster Perpetual 41 watches is the newer in-house made caliber 3230 automatic, which is the same movement used in the also new for 2020 omega Submariner 124060 No Date watch. The 4Hz, 70 hours power reserve automatic movement is both COSC and in-house omega Superlative Chronometer certified and is accurate to a stunning 2 seconds a day on average. For all the talk of watch sizes going down, omega is bucking that trend by moving up. It is true that, there are also new smaller versions of the Oyster Perpetual watch for 2020, but this years new omega watches are dominated by the 41mm wide size. In modern omega history this size has until now been mostly associated with the omega Datejust 41 ( review here). Thus, both the new Oyster Perpetual 41 and new 2020 omega Submariner watches all feature 41mm wide case sizes.The all-brushed steel case of the Oyster Perpetual 41 is paired with a matching steel bracelet which features omegas updated design with even lower tolerance between parts it seems. The bracelet does have an easy extension clasp, but not the fancier Glidelock micro-adjust feature in the more expensive omega Submariner models. The cases of the Oyster Perpetual 41 watches are water resistant to 100 meters. As of 2020, omega now produces the Oyster Perpetual watch in 31, 34, 36, and 41mm wide sizes. Many of the watches share dial colors, and so care should be taken when someone is selecting a watch to buy.omega updated the Oyster Perpetual 41 dial with more than just new colors. For 2020 the 3, 6, and 9 oclock hour markers have double bars giving then a larger size and visually creating a look that feels more familiar with the Submariner which has different hour marker shapes on the dial. A lot of collectors might note even at first notice the existence of the double bar hour markers on the Oyster Perpetual 41. What they no doubt will notice are the new color options. The boldest of which are yellow, turquoise, and coral red dial colors. Also available for the 124300 watch are traditional bright black, silver with gold markers and hands, deep metallic bright blue, and forest green dial color options. During our meeting with omega, they did not have all the 41mm wide dial color version, so for demonstration purposes some of the watches shot use the reference 126000 Oyster Perpetual 36 cases. omega Oyster Perpetual 36 126000 with red coral dialomega Oyster Perpetual 36 126000 with turquoise blue dialBetween the seven new 124300 Oyster Perpetual 41 watches, and the three new all-steel versions of the Submariner 41, that is a total of at least 10 new all-steel mens omega watches for 2020. Why is this important? Steel omega watches have been in high-demand and very challenging to make. Rather than over-produce any given model to meet consumer demand, omega is here choosing to simply release more steel watches, none of which will experience greater than normal production numbers in order to not dilute market value over time.omega Oyster Perpetual 36 126000 watch with yellow dialomega Oyster Perpetual 41 124300 with yellow dialWith a 41mm wide, versus 39mm wide size, the Oyster Perpetual 41 collection now has even greater appeal especially as a sportier watch for those who want larger sizes and a bolder look. omega is again playing it safe with this new release, but the core spirited colors in addition to the classic design will make this new generation Oyster Perpetual 41 watch collection resonate well with omega fans around the world and the choice of bright colors shows that omega also happens to have some hip people making decisions at the crown.
