Interesting that Apollo 8 (DSOTM) is getting a lot of votes in this category here, as it is not a LE, and not really a Moonwatch per se... it is a Speedmaster though, so kind of ok 馃槈

My types:
Italian Albino
Apollo XI 45th
Japan Racing

It does have the 1861 movement (dressed up as 1869). It's got moonwatch cred. Perhaps the ceramic case wouldn't pass the tests, not sure. Plus it's a bit bigger. But it seems like a proper moonwatch, even if a bit unusual looking. I could be wrong but i think of it as a proper moonwatch ( forgot, it has the sapphire back too. But a sapphire back should count as a moonwatch.)

Just thinking out loud.

Snoopy 2020 isn't a LE either, but I suspect that when the dust settles there will be a lot more Snoopy's made than Apollo 8's. Apollo 8 is the biggest Omega sleeper. It's the most unique and different of all the Speedmasters.

1) Apollo 13 25th
2) Apollo Soyuz 35th
3) Apollo 8

These are all LE. If other watches would be allowed, EdWhite reedition is on the top of my list.

My problem with Apollo 8 DSotM is the fact that it's 44.25mm. That's just too big for my wrist.

It sounds bigger than it feels.

Here it is on a 7 inch wrist. (Sampling it for size)

Google?
Yeah, of course I could google... but the point is that YOU should post something that we can readily consume/understand. Check all posts above yours and tell me how many people simply posted an Omega Reference as a contribution!?
Most even post an accompanying picture of the model they are suggesting to the list...

...so may be you need to spend a bit more time learning how the forum works?

could be really nice if we could have a poll function here with a drop list of all the LEs. then we could make the hole list to see which is the most popular and which one would be the next big thing

Based on this thread, it appears to be Apollo 8 DSOTM

1869 movement (only one), based on 1861 movement longer produced, reference production ceased ?, expensive enough that few were sold, very unusual when compared to others, and last but not least..,

Stunning.
