Looks like a lot of marketing drivel.
Selmer SUPREME S-bow
accordying to the descripción of the Selmer Supreme sax :
•. Strong projection due to enlarged Bore at the s-Bow
Does it mean also that the neck diameter has changed respect to another Selmer necks ?

According to Selmer the neck diameter is larger:

Well, I went to see where this 'S-Bow" was mentioned, and I don't see it anywhere from the Selmer Paris website. Perhaps this is a dealer's description and they took some liberties with their verbiage.
However, I did notice a very important detail. It appears Selmer heard the complaints about price

My guess is the OP was looking at the Spanish version of the site, and S-bow is simply a bad translation. But that seems to be a valid term for the neck in some other languages, although a bit of a misnomer, especially if you're talking about any sax but tenor.
Loving that price though!
Again, just a poor translation. From the english language page, it makes sense:
Direct adjustment arm between the right hand F# and F keys, allowing for finer, more reliable adjustment.
My only Selmer experience is with the Mk VI, VII, and SA80, but back then they didn't have an F# adjustment screw.
But continued scrutiny of the original post is pointless due to the nonsensical translation.
I think the OP simply wants to know if a Supreme neck will fit his old horn. It will not.
Thomann.de's translation are not super accurate.
The neck collar is wider, so the Supreme tenor neck does NOT fit on any other Selmer tenor, unless you remove the stock neck collar and replace with another one with a standard diameter (27,45/27,50 mm, before final fitting).

The neck on the Supreme has a similar bore compared to other Selmer neck, yet the neck profile is similar to a Series III/Axos tenor.
