I know the Omega SMP GMT 2535.80 has been discontinued, does anyone know if there are plans for a new GMT model?

I tried one of those on at the weekend. It's a thing of beauty.Originally Posted by Guitarfan
A thing of beauty and great functionality, too - 120 click bezel and lumed pip, which makes it more versatile than the Rolex GMT IIC with its 24 click bezel.
But it's around 17mm thick! Who needs that? I tried one the other day too and couldn't fit it under the cuff of my business shirt. If they'd lose the sapphire back they could save 2mm, which would make it more or less wearable. By comparison, the old 2535.80 SMP GMT or the 2234 are a much better size.
I like these. Had one for a few months in 2009. I prefer the 16710, but the omega is a more versatile watch.
I tried on the PO and PO GMT at the AD a couple of weeks ago. Very nice but not wow enough to pull the trigger. Had a Ti PO Chrono too, which was too light for me. Had they had a steel, I think I would have walked out with it.
They should just do the honourable thing and use the broad arrow gmt movement in a diver. Now that would be something!
