Does anyone have any idea about this?

Hi, This watch is on sale on a Japanese auction. I've never seen anything remotely resembling this and can't find anything in the forum, on the Omega site or through a google search. Did Omega ever make this watch? The site says it is a genuine Omega which retailed for 12,000 US. Fuzzy picture of a warranty card is included but I can't make out any reference number. It also seems to come with a box including a set of tools of some type. I'm curious if anyone has any information about this. I can't copy the pictures but they show up on this link,

Thanks,

I've see a box like that before, was it for the limited edition with the silver sub dial.

That doesn't look like a speedy pro movement to me through the back.

Thanks for the information. I had never seen or heard about this limited edition. I like it, but it's out of my range. It looks like a cool set though and I'm glad to see that it's legitimate.

Ahh, that watch brings back memories of some toxic threads on WUS from back in the day! There was a lot of hope and anticipation from Speedmaster collectors leading up to the 50th anniversary longing for a straight lugged cal. 321 reissue, but instead Omega released a rotorless 33xx movement/enamel dial. Just an odd choice to go in that direction.

I'm sure it's an ok watch judged on its own and without all that context, but boy was it a lightning rod 8 years ago.
