I bet the Chinese will be all over that gold and red Omega,too bad they can't release it before Chinese New Year (which will fall in early February this year)
FYI: gold and red are considered as lucky,happy,auspicious color in Chinese culture,that's why if you ever come to Chinese celebrations (weddings,birthday of older people,big business deals etc...) these are the two dominant colors

Didn't know that; thanks for the info. And now that you mention it, I wouldn't be surprised if that symbolism is actually used by Omega as a marketing tool.

I think the Chinese is Omega's main market nowadays
Rolex did well in China (hence the constant shortages) so I guess Omega wants a huge slice of that pie
Even the main market for Panerai is the Chinese,remember few years ago they signed a Taiwanese/Chinese singer to be their brand ambassador....even the bronzo looks ridiculous on his skinny wrist

^^ Lol, I had my 2209 on a grey nylon, as the poor woman’s mesh
It looks like Nomos has done the opposite with that bracelet design
It's the final countdown! PM me before they're all gone!

No, that's just wrong; and I like bracelets (generally). Perhaps it would look better with fitted end-links.
Looks like something that didn't 'make the cut' for the Apple watch. 
Some people have opinions - The rest of us have taste.

I’m mildly excited by the idea of a Nomos bracelet - but partly because I enjoy watching what Nomos do.
It will find more favour with women than men, but I hope Nomos stay true to form and don’t market it that way. I like it without wanting one.
I’d like to see more bracelets that don’t depend on removeable links for adjustment. I’ve even found myself considering a Fixoflex.
