$34K? I guess they have to pay for the new museum somehow 😵💫.
Seriously though, it’s going to be interesting to see what they go with - a titanium Speedmaster? An Apollo XI themed box? An AquaTerra for Bond to wear in a casino or wherever? The gold one would have to be a copy of the BA145, surely?
They also need to leave some breathing space for an Apollo XIII 50th watch next year...
How do things work at Omega. Is there a special design, which they have been saving for the 50th anniversary for years or were they like “Ohhhh SHIT, what are we gonna do for the 50th” six months ago??
Golden anniversary means probably a full gold watch, like the ones which were offered to the astronauts back in the days.
nothing like 2 sprinkles of speculation and a fat dollop of BS over the morning muesli...
Price point of the ‘cheap’ one plus ‘new movement’ and the fact that we celebrate the achievement from 1969, makes me think we get a skeletonized watch with the cal.1869 (with some new feature making it the cal.1969) in ceramic...
...finished in pink with a transparent case thus looking like a diamond, a double signed dial ‘hello kitty’ and deployant straps made from the panties used by Nicole Kidman on set during the shooting of Eyes Wide Shut...
😗
It will also have a new movement which will be a manual wind co-axial Master Chronometer. That should create some controversy!
