Not bad. I will have the opportunity to see it wearing my new perpetual calendar.

Is it a standard model? NA on the website, Boutique only (for now, it says) leads me to think it will be a prepay and wait here in the US ala Snoopy. Hope I’m wrong.

My guess is that it is a standard model just based on the pricing (only $100 more than the black version). If it was a "limited supply" version al la Snoopy, they would have priced it higher.

It says the same thing that Snoopy does, not available online, contact a boutique. Same with Bond 60th. It’s not Boutique only, but that doesn’t mean you can walk in and buy one either.

You could order the standard 3861 online day of launch if I remember correctly.

Again, hope I am wrong.

This is the white 3861:


This is the snoopy:


This is the bond 60th:


What I'm getting from all this: white 3861 is expected to be available online, it'll just be sold out for a while in the beginning (like the white or green SMPs)

I don't think you will see any new Hesalite versions going forward, they keep the standard one for the traditionalists, but Omega knows that trying to sell a plastic crystal watch with solid back at a premium price is a loser.
You're probably right. Come to think of it, I don't recall any variations of the Hesalite version being available for some years now. Rather like the Rolex Submariner without the date, it only comes in one configuration.

ST1 and 2, and the Trilogy Speedmaster, had Hesalite, but those are over five years old now.

But please, don't call this the 'Daniel Craig' model, that's just wrong.

I could not agree more! Please, please, please can we nip this in the bud now.

It's released on a Speedy Tuesday yes but it's not the ST3.

This white Speedy is a winner to me.

Applied indices, white dial, red Speedmaster, black hands, 3861 movement, and stepped subdials are all fantastic choices. Plus this is a standard model. I wish they had a hesalite version but that's just my preference.

I'll be looking forward to adding this to my collection once it hits the second hand market at a discount (hopefully).
I was lucky to get one of the three who were available at the omega store in Monaco. I just hope the second hand market won't go crazy but it is probably wishful thinking.

I think any second hand market price bump will be temporary, and short. These are not quantity constrained and not 'limited production' like the Snoopy or Ed White 321. Congrats on your purchase.

This is exactly what I have been hoping it would be -- a stainless steel, 3861, sapphire sandwich, with a white dial. 😀 Well done, Omega.

it's unfortunate when the narrative is on whether to flip a new release
