Love the vintage applied Omega Logo, bevelled caseback, stepped dial and bracelet, I really hope both of those filter down to the rest of Speedmaster Pros, movement too. Two-tone isn't personally my thing so I'm going to hold off and get the 321 re-edition when it comes out but overall I love the design choices and seeing Omega embracing elements from that golden era. I think its a great piece 👍

I like the face of the watch, and love the bracelet! It a good thing they didn’t make the bracelet bi-colour!

I really like it. I’m not a gold person but there’s little enough for me to like it seeing as they kept the bracelet steel. The bracelet seems to have lost the end links which lengthen the case so it will fit me better. Overall, I think it looks very good to me.

I like this and the world timer that’s been released. Might be an expensive summer.

I subscribed for the waiting list! 😀 But what does that mean at the end? Do I get one for sure?

They are releasing a standard non limited edition steel speedy with the 321, right? I am not making that up? Any idea when that’s released?

What’s with the huge A in Omega on the dial. Can’t not notice it once I saw it.

Yet you not noticed that large A is on other omega watches? I do like the 11 on the dial at 11am, subtle is cool.

I’ve just seen the price. £7,370 is lifting the speedy into a different bracket. Nice watch for sure, but I’m not sure it’s That nice....

Where did you see that Steve? Is that inc VAT?

I'm generally not a big fan of two-tone watches but I think Omega did a nice job with the Speedmaster Apollo 11 50th Anniversary watch. 👍

It did take me about 10 mins of searching moonwatches to work out they’ve shoved all the new releases at the bottom of the webpage. You think they’d be the first thing you’d see!

Thanks. That is less than I expected. Bearing in mind it includes 20% VAT, it looks like the UK price is pretty reasonable vs some other markets. Around $8k USD ex VAT. $9.5k inc VAT

I expected £9k inc VAT.

Busy looking speedmaster

Perhaps not for me this time but I love the flat link bracelet. A lot.

Same as my 1957 broadarrow. I hope they do an all steel version without all the gold and fill in designs on the dials

Togri v. 2.0

·May 17, 2019·Wow! Custom title... cool

Looks fine I guess like most of the other limited editions over the years. problem for me is that my pulse didn't go up one bit, when I first saw it. Also I think the moonshine gold looks off (though I haven't seen it in real life) compared with yellow gold. But the grey (almost blue) and the black goes nice together.

This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone but the price in the U.S. is $9,650.

Short pushers anyone?! So glad they brought them back.

Price is a bit high for me, even if it’s the 50th An. and limited, at 9k €, that’s a huge chunk of money for me at the moment. I‘ll just sit back and wait ... and hope that some of the stylistic features will trickle down to the regular steel production Speedmaster.

I would love to try that bracelet on a vintage speedy or something like a 3570.

That’s just the faux shadowing for the renderings - they look the same to me
