It already has. The new 'James Bond' Seamaster GMT Coaxial is the first Seamaster Pro to have a Coaxial movement.

Typically, OMEGA will only introduce NEW models with the Coaxial movement. I do not expect them to take current models and start offering them with the Coaxial -- unless they do this as a completely across the board change. They have sound business reasons to not trash the value of their existing models by outmoding them. Better to gradually retire the non-Coaxial models while introducing newer Coaxial pieces that do not directly overlap prior models.
