Dixan,Interesting theory, WW, but unfortunately I don't think it holds water. These two quartz models also have the applied logo, as did the original AT quartz, and many others, I'm sure.
OMEGA Watches: Seamaster 300 M Quartz - Steel on steel - 2221.80.00
OMEGA Watches: Seamaster Aqua Terra Quartz - Steel on steel - 231.10.39.61.02.001
I think it just comes down to individual designs. They could just make it standard across the board, but some models actually benefit from not having an applied logo, or in other words, they look better with a printed logo. The original SMP Bond, the 2531.80 is a good example of such a watch.
Logo = Omega symbolDixan,
Neither one of the watches you linked to have the "Omega" applied logo, only the "Ω". The first model I actually own, so I am positive of this. I will take it a step further and say this only applies to mechanical watches and not quartz, despite some of the latter having a COSC designation. The Bond SMP you referenced is a perfect example of this as the mechanical does in fact of have applied logo. Now I'm not saying this makes what I said correct as it is only speculation on my part. And I agree with you that some models simply look better with a painted logo, ala the Railmaster or EB SMP, which are both chronometers. Whether this is a design aesthetic is anyone's guess, but I will bet only chronometers get that applied "Omega".
After seeing these gorgeous pictures of the older generation Aqua Terra and Railmaster, I have the same wish as always: I hope Omega will reintroduce a classic dressy Seamaster, based on 8500, and without the "teak" dial. Just a normal flat dial, a tad bit glossy, with nice applied details of the hour indices and Omega logo + wording.
Like a modern day reincarnation of the 60's Seamaster.

to be honest, with 20/20 hindsight, I should probably have got the next size down, but this certainly has a presence![]()

I got my first Omega from my dad. I think I've always felt a special connection to Omega, above and beyond "normal" obsessive fandom, because of that fact. Be good to your folks! (And not just because they bought you a nice watch. ;-))Amazing pics, I really like the thread

This dial is impossible (for me) to take a decent and truly representative photo of it. But that doesn't stop me from trying.
Here's the Cal 2500 purring along inside it.

And sometimes, Mother Nature steps in and does the lighting. And the stars align and I take a lucky shot.
