I hope its an official bracelet to fit the FOIS. Or some OEM endlinks to fit the 321 Ed White bracelet to the FOIS...
I want this so bad...

I just wonder if the new release will be bigger than 42mm?

My biggest concern is "why is not on Tuesday". It's a tradition to have mayor Speedmaster on Tuesday, to honor Speedy Tuesday.

Are we moving to Speedy Thursday? 😀
Not a speedmaster professional, may be a DSOTM

Marketing ..... everything 'new' is somehow ground breaking.

well yes regarding the industry part, but saying value to me is a clue worth noting. Don’t think it’s a gold watch if you’re teasing value

Value doesn’t mean monetary

Phil Please don't use language like that when referring to anyone's mother, even if it is in Welsh

Not to be pedantic but it is commonly associated.
Rereading the quote, I see what you mean in this case, seems like it means significance not a monetary position.

Haven't all of the 44mm Ceramic and SS co-axial automatic Speedmasters been discontinued? This new release could be the replacement for those. This would make sense since the release date is not on a Tuesday. If my memory stands correct, Tuesday releases are reserved for Professional models.

Certainly seems that way, I assume a new DSOTM series.

The DSOTM line is certainly due for an update (and that may very well be announced at the upcoming Jan 26 announcement), but they are readily available in all OBs I have visited in the past weeks and months, and there’s no official message that they are discontinued (yet).

That’s what Omega is using now. So far nothing new has been revealed, at least not anything really obvious...
What about the “10” in the video, and what might be a “1” in the video after the “10”? The “10” made me think of a 10th anniversary (dark side of the moon) but if the yellow line after the “10” is a one, maybe the hint is 10 beats per second (other brands have that so..meh). I’d be surprised is they did a Swiss spring drive after showing a hairspring (spring drive doesn’t have a mechanical escapement, it’s a magnetic brake).

I'm just an idiot, but doesn't a spring drive still have a... spring

A mainspring, but not a balance spring...
