It's always nice to get a call from the local OB to come in and see the new novelties.

Omega never disappoints.

(That Moonshine/Green Speedy is killer!)

Any chance your OB had an idea on when the Ti Ultra Deep would be available for purchase?

I presumed it was available right now. Could have walked out with it if I wanted.

😲 which boutique was this?
My contact at the NYC OB still hasnt called me in for it. I assumed they were showing you the not-for-sale samples.

If you don't mind me asking, have you bought multiple watches from this boutique? I bought my first Omega from my local boutique in December and completed a contact card during the transaction. I was at least hoping for a "thank you, please buy more watches" card in the mail or some advertising but haven't heard a peep from them. I went into the OB recently to check out the new '57 Speedmasters (they only had one color on stock) and they said they'd put me down on a list to see the 2022 novelties but I'm a bit skeptical.

It's the OB in Vancouver, Canada. They pretty much had all the 2022 releases available for sale.

I purchased two watches from this OB over the last year. The 321EW and the 321 platinum. I'm patiently awaiting my Snoopy which I'm told should arrive later this year.

I've made it clear that any other Omega purchases I make will only occur once I take delivery of my Snoops....but that Moonshine / green dial Speedy is really attractive...... I'm so weak!

I agree, the green/moonshine combo looks amazing, although I've yet to see it in person. I hope you'll be able to take it home soon (along with your Snoopy)!

Interesting, thanks for the info! I wonder if I'll hear from the NYC OB soon then.

No, they are not for sale. They are samples and marked "Not for Sale" on the back.

My understanding from the Atlanta OB is that the 2022 novelties are on a bit of a tour across various OBs in not-for-sale status. Could definitely differ at other OBs, but the notification I received was along the lines of “come look at them today [in May], with a plan for them to be available for purchase soon [in July]”.

Your purchase of those two 321's should put you way up on the list to get a Snoopy. Hope they come through for you in '22.

The Apollo 11 looks great as always, but that Aqua Terra dial looks amazing! Great shot!

The terra cotta aqua terra is amazing and it is the one that left me with the greatest impression relative to expectations. I think I’m going to get one. The green dial speedy is amazing as expected, but I was surprised by the terra cotta.

Has the boutique told you when ADs are expected to get the 2022 releases for sale?

I was told July - September, but some of them have already made their way to ADs. For example the black sandwich dial Speedy ‘57 is available at many of the larger ADs and OBs.

Did the same thing last week, the only piece that has my attention is this.

"...henceforth dub it the Aqua Terra 'Aperol-Spritz'"

Also looking forward to seeing this in the flesh.

Thanks for the report and pix -- I'm looking forward to seeing some of the '57s and the new AT colour variants, especially the terracotta, although the Bay and Sandstone shades are also pretty striking.
