Not available for purchase on the US Omega site....it tells you to contact a boutique. Omega has the habit of keeping discontinued watches online for an extended period of time. There are a few still floating around in dealer or boutique stock but the FOIS isn't back in production.

I’m in the US and it seems to be available for me.

I just checked and I got the 'Contact a Boutique' message. In any event I don't think it is back in production.

One or two watches return from a boutique unsold to be sold centrally and you declare it back in production? A bit if a jump don’t you think?

for a model year 2012 watch, that is likely the case
or the inventory employee found an attended lot somewhere behind the shelf

There are or were until fairly recently 10-20 year old Speedmasters languishing in boutique safes in London. Coin dial Speedy anyone? A regular poster on here was offered one brand new last year or the year before. Presumably such a watch would need an immediate service.

that needs @Archer opinion

manufacturers recommendation does not add up on their own (they want us to service sort of every 5 years, but they did not service their own inventory before transfer to new owners, not sure if storage vs wearing is considered differently

Yes, it would need a service. You could likely ask them to do it for you before you collect the watch,. or just wear it and use the warranty if something goes wrong.

I've honestly had a hard time not pulling the trigger and buying one. I've gotten a few emails in the last couple weeks alerting me there was one available. I need them to stop finding old stock until maybe next March 😀

Weird, I can’t replicate and also get the “contact OB” button instead.

Probably for the best 😲

I have seen these come up for sale from time to time on the Omega website. I just tried and it says to contact OB. Really cool watch, I recently picked mine up from my OB, really happy with it!

I’m getting the “Contact a boutique” message also. Maybe a few extra units came up the pipeline in the US.

Still love mine. Favourite of the modern Onegas I’ve owned.

I've seen these pop up at various OB's. I remember seeing one in the window at the 5th Avenue OB and I think the Houston OB had one recently too. They're definitely still out there if you look around.

I'm in Australia and I get the same message on the Omega website.

I am in the U.S. and I was able to add two to my shopping cart earlier. When I tried to add a third one it said that the quantity requested was not available.
