I emailed the Boutique in Champs-Élysée a few days in advance and they held one for me, but while I was there I saw multiple, so it’s widely available in there.
Of course it is more expensive than in the US, but being from Brazil I don’t get many chances, and considering the VAT return it gets pretty close, so I’m more than happy!
They also threw in some Olympics swag in for good measure
Question for everyone, are we calling these a Daniel Craig or just “the white one “? Hesalite is a Hesalite, snoopy is snoopy, FOISv2 is FOIS, so what do we call this?
Im calling it the white speedy, or white moonwatch, not fan of attaching it to Daniel Craig, as I believe there is and probably there will be other watches unveiled by him, they can’t all have the same name.
They're not black. I own the current white dial Speedmaster Racing, and the hands/markers are similar. They appear black at times because of the angle and lighting conditions, but they aren't black. They are more of a polished gunmetal gray, and can sometimes get washed out. Many white dial watches get gray hands/markers over black, and I've yet to see a good reason why. The Tudor Black Bay GMT is like that. I have a Nodus Contrail like that. It's better than the regular bright polished steel or rhodium, but polished black would certainly be better.
I wish they would’ve made the hands matt black, super stark, to give a similar but inverse effect to the stark white hands on the 3861 black dial. They probably would’ve had to reduce the lume area
It changes the look of the watch when you can actually read the time.
I’m always surprised by the lack of strap pictures for white speedy, maybe they’re on a post or forum I haven’t located but I would think the white speedy is an absolute strap monster.
Separately, I don’t understand your comment.
Apologies for confusion. The original hands on my Speedmaster offered little definition so I changed them to black. The photos below show the stark difference and validates your comment regarding contrasting hands.
