·Well really I suppose it is pre-moon, or is it being a reissue??
How would a watch produced in 2020 be pre-moon?

·Looks nice but based on RJ's article it will be hard to get one even it isn't a limited edition...

Exactly, the original is pre-moon with no NASA writing and this is a reissue of that watch!

·Another thing I like about this reissue is the lugs, there are no bevel facets so its in line with the 64 Ed White's - the ref he wore on his EVA.

·Omega is spot on with this release in my opinion. So cool to see a well designed straight lug speedy as a new part of the product portfolio. I really need to see it in person before judging the sapphire crystal and ceramic bezel.

·I'm surprised at the comments
I think its a stunner
Step dial, radial sub dials, 39.7mm case!! true straight lugs, gorgeous flat link style bracelet, applied logo, the dial will likely be matte black/grey mix in the light. Super legible and everyday usable. Ceramic bezel and sapphire makes it a modern day glorious wear.
Big fan. The domed sapphire is a small compromise and I'm entirely happy with the wearability and optical quality of them recently. We don't need to re-open to hesalite vs sapphire debate. This is a modern day re-issue. I'm curious to know if the 321 in any way has been modified for the modern day...

·Price is way too high for a purchase to make sense. The first few people that "have to have it" will pay a premium, but I don't understand how a market can support this!

·These things are going to fly off the shelf, even at that price people will be lining up to buy it. I won't be one of them, but it is a very nice looking Speedmaster

·Yes, finally a nice looking modern straight lug case. The FOIS and 60th both looked too funky
What’s funky on these 2?

·That means it is a +$15,000 watch in the US after taxes. With a couple of hundred a year in the US it will be a very hard get, about one watch per OB/AD. You better have a Rolex kind of relationship with your dealer. Not surprised at the price, should have gone solid back. but I can see why they went sapphire back. It would be a shame to hide the movement. A very niche market, but that is what Omega is shooting for now.

·This is a nice watch, and the price... Lets say I’m not really surprised.
I think this quote of Robert-Jan is a good description:
“Purists might say it is a pity it doesn’t have a Hesalite crystal and a solid steel caseback, but as I wrote above, it is a watch that will be in the backbone of the Omega collection from now on. It is not meant to be an exact replica of the original 105.003 “Ed White”, but a modern watch for daily use with inspiration from the original 105.003. “
I couldn’t agree more!
