Nice but pricey. The track version of the BB (BB-7710) uses cartridge bearings, the road version (BB-7700) uses needle/ball bearings that are notoriously bad in wet weather. The axle length / dimensions are the same though, either works with the track cranks.
The 7710 BB is sold as "unsealed" too though, despite the cartridge bearings, so it might be something to avoid for an all-weather bike. Though I bet it would still last longer than an Omnium GXP BB.
