Some will like it while some will hate it. Everyone will complain that it's too expensive because 10 years ago Speedies were like 1/3 the price.

Just watch, it will be in the $50k range and a very limited release.

Edit: I actually am expecting expensive and very limited, based on some conversation at the OB. It may not be a watch I can buy, but the release may still be exciting and interesting for watches and Omega.

The Omega CEO will promise that all Omega fans will get one as long as they cough up a £10k (or $12,331 for our US friends) deposit, are prepared to stick their names down on a fictional waiting list and then patiently sit it out for the next 17 years…

Whatever it is I hope it takes a nice, easily sourced, strap/bracelet size like 21, 23 or 27.

Tick tock… one more day… Tick Tock… 🍿

No countdown, no leaks, no IG teasers? Come on Omega, don't screw this up.

As I write this about 3:30 pm in Texas it's only about 90 minutes to midnite in Bienne, so Omega beat the internet and no leaks came out. Good job.

Learning from the big R about how to not leak. I wonder if the release is going to come at 8am Bienne time (1am Texas). I'll be awake to catch it if they do.

Didn’t one of the members write above that the announcement is 1800 Bien time 26 Jan 2023?

hmmm first post dropping into a site mid-thread with wild, yet oddly specific speculation.

Posting anonymously for protection? Created an alt. account to avoid a blight on their existing record, should they be wrong?
Such intrigue.
I am also Horology 411 on IG and Watch Purists. While I can not promise that it will be the 26th drop, it seems very likely to come to fruition.

Any idea what time they normally make changes or issue releases? It's been the 26th in Switzerland for like 7 hours.....

Usually midday. I know the Speedy Tuesdays were 12pm Netherlands time.

But Omega has occasionally been end of the day Swiss time.

I thought the 3861 moonwatch was released around midnight Swiss time 2 years ago. but I could be mistaken...
