    I can't help but notice that next year will be 50 years since the first moon landing. I'd expect something significant from Omega to celebrate this. Are there any rumours floating around? Or what would anyone expect or like to see?

    Ouch, think you are catching the OF members by surprise on this one. :taunt: This could become a very very long thread.....
    From my side I'd love to see a non-limited Moonwatch with some innovation but without losing heritage. Maybe new case size 40mm, choice of dials (minimal white and black), optional display case, choice of leather or bracelet, screw down crown (waterproof!) and pushers,....
    Nothing of this will probably happen but sometimes it is good to follow modern times. A Porsche 911 is still very recognisable, they never neglected their past but did innovate a lot in those 60+ years. A fine balance between respecting previous and future buyers.

    Yeah, it's fair enough. I did try, but I was clearly using bad search terms ;)
