Well, it landed on the moon on the 11th... maybe then?
But on the other hand, given Omega does not do any (numbered) limited editions anymore, it has become less fashionable to launch commemorative editions it seems.
In the old Omega world a 50th Anniversary Apollo 17 would be a no brainer, but their new policy of very few special editions would seem to preclude it. Snoopy has proved to be difficult for Omega and although an Apollo 17 wouldn't have the mass appeal of a Snoopy I'm not sure Omega would want to do a special watch for this event, especially after they just did the Bond 60th. I think Omega is done with their special space watches for awhile, they'll be no 55 year anniversary models, but maybe a 60th model for some Apollo mission. The golden age of Speedmaster limited editions is over, we complained so much about about all the LE's that Omega listened! No mas.
