I'd like it in a case from the mid 60s, thanks.
When I asked "why would they remake the same case," I meant why would Omega go to the trouble to design a totally new case for the new 105.003 with a glass crystal, when they already have the FOIS case, which should be perfect. Sorry I wasn't more clear.
Because, in the 60s, the 2998 and 105.003’s had very different cases...
For this watch they have made a case that is accurate to the 60s Ed White cases (105.003-64)...not the -65, which had a different case maker, and slightly different lugs/chamfers to -64/-63 and 2998/2815s)
https://omegaforums.net/threads/spe...designs-calling-all-64-ed-white-owners.45695/
The FOIS case is accurate to some 2998 cases (the watch it fails to mimic), not an EW...thus it makes 0 sense to use it. It would just look odd from a historic perspective.

·I got told from a good source that the bracelet on the new 321 is thinner than the one on the steel Apollo 11 50th Anniversary. It'll be interesting to see one in person.

·I think that's more than optimistic. In Switzerland, I've been told from June on...
Thanks for the info, that is a bit disappointing given that the homepage says early 2020 and Switzerland is usually first in row?
Which OB were you in touch with? I am Zurich based but have not yet asked for delivery info.

If it were accurate to the EW case from the 60s it should be 38.6mm. I have a feeling they took a shortcut and used a modified lug CK2998 FOIS case. That bezel overhang is bothersome

I’m totally psyched that it’s coming, and know I’ll enjoy wearing it a lot- especially after it gets all scratched up.

·For the past 6 months I’ve been spending every other week in Alaska, and checking into the hotel this evening I at first took this as a good omen:
Then I noticed that the receptionist didn’t fill in the “check-out date,” and decided it’s an ambiguous omen...
