: as a photographer ;-)

I can tell right away that it isn't the GMT since too much of the crown is exposed. Also, the new co-axial Bond GMT does have the applied (metal encased) markers and longer hands. The hands in this photo appear to correspond in length to those on the new co-axial Bond SMP. In looking at my own Bond SMP, this model's hands are definitely longer.

So, with longer hands, applied markers, and the crown exposure, I'm about 99.9% certain that this is the new co-axial SMP. This would also make sense since this watch is expected to be in stores by the time the movie hits theaters.

Thank you for these incredible blown-up shots, Sean. They have helped identify his "other" new watch (the Planet Ocean has already been seen).

You have to give credit to Omega. These two watches combined will retail for well over $6000, so they know how to market their products to the true Bond enthusiasts.
