The new Bond SMP will retail for $3050, while the current model 2531.80 is only $2150. So, yes, there's a $900 "price hike" for the new co-axial model 2220.80 that will be out next month or in November.

Omega already raised their prices this year back in February, so I don't expect to see any price increases on existing models until sometime in 2007.
