Super Racing? 9900 Racing was last updated in 2017, meanwhile, unupdated DSOTM 2013 is like 😝

Seriously though, all they needed to do to take my money was to put the sapphire caseback on the hesalite 3861. No R&D or additional tooling required!

the caption: Discover the first watch in the world to include OMEGA’s Spirate™ System, with a revolutionary new spiral that allows for ultra-fine rate adjustments to achieve certified precision of only 0/+2 seconds a day. Look closely. This visual tribute to OMEGA’s 2013 anti-magnetic masterpiece offers a clear view of the new mechanism through the sapphire crystal caseback.

. . .This visual tribute to OMEGA’s 2013 anti-magnetic masterpiece. . .
I've been lurking around on watch forums for over a decade and I have never seen a single person express interest in the Wiz Khalifa Aqua Terra... why are they paying tribute to this? hahaha, so random!

None of the links work or aren't live yet on their YouTube page. Anyone find an idea on size or pricing?

you probably won't know the price until tomorrow when the page is enabled on the Omega website, but I can almost guarantee the case size is 44.25mm

I was thinking that too. Until I saw the bracelet. It looks the same last as the moonwatch. I can't see them putting a 20mm bracelet on a case that big. I'm just hopeful that maybe they paired it down to 42mm with a 20mm bracelet. then I'm a player on this one. I like the look a lot.

Nah, it's not the bracelet from the 3861 Moonwatch. They're reusing the 21mm bracelet from the Chronoscope

Remove the date and add £2000? I am obviously missing something.

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.
😲
Indeed, but watch prices have risen, also in part to pay influencers and all the great comments & "reviews" at watch-websites etc... 😁

So we know what it is now then - a new spring that allows accuracy of 0 to +2 a day.

Probably not what people were hoping for but it is indeed quite big news. Future Omegas should never even lose time at all and only gain fractions of a second a day.

As a comparison, Seiko's spring drive quartz-mechanical hybrid allows -1 to +1 and Rolex's best mechanical movement allows -2 to +2.

44.25mm would be a total miss. But I wouldn't be surprised if it was.
