    I like George Clooney, he did save the Ghent Altarpiece from the Germans, but I think the headline of the article should have read "Astronauts, George Clooney to attend black-tie event at Kennedy Space Center"

    I have a feeling Omega's Speedmaster-themed IG posts over these past few days are building up to this event...

    I’m going. Don’t know what to expect, but hoping to see some new stuff! The title of the event is “Golden Moments”, so I definitely think that leaves room for surprises!

    50 years is celebrated as a " Golden " anniversary and we all agree Omega did an excellent superb job on the Gold Speedmaster as it's 100% true to the spirit of the 1969 Apollo XI tribute Gold Speedmaster that was given to at least 35 astronauts...
    It looks like our Steel expectations topic points to a two-tone " Metal Magic " Speedmaster chronograph, while most of us really expected a real Steel 1969-2019 version... I suppose Social Media will be something to follow up the next few days...
