Ok, you don't have to explain why, just list the three limited edition Speedmasters that if you were to make a wish they'd suddenly appear on your desktop, or wherever you keep your watches. And if you can't limit it to three you can add an alternate. Let's see...
I'm a bit surprised you decided to limit it to LEs given that in Oct 2020, Omega was well on their way to adopt more of a "low-volume production" vs. "limited Edition" which excludes references like the Caliber 321 Ed White, 50th Silver Snoopy, etc. 🤔

But then again, there are enough LEs to choose from so... 😀

1994 25th Apollo XI (for Italy only*, 3592.50)
*classic [T-] dial & hesalite but with display caseback showing it's gilted 863 mvmt.

The blue one (Gemini?), the meteorite (Soyuz?), and the Tintin or Japan panda

For some rason the 40th anniversary of the moon landing doesn’t get much love, but I find the dial medallion very attractive. Plus one of the best casebacks I’ve seen

I'm really surprised at the number of Moon to Mars votes. I've seen a bunch of those in the wild, and the sub dials had an unfortunate tendency to get washed out and frankly not look that good.

I own the original "Snoopy" Speedmaster and frankly love it (it was my first Speedmaster). The "Eyes on the Stars" emblem I think captures the whole Snoopy award spirit way better than the subsequent editions.

I would pick the Alaska Project and the Tintin as my other two to own I think though if I had a choice.

Rising Sun and FOIS Sedna as I own both.

The 3rd will depend whether my OB can come up with a 321 or Snoopy first! (Ok I know not strictly LE)

If we're only talking 42mm Speedy Pro LE's then these.....



But I feel a white dial could easily squeeze in here instead.... either an Alaska project (I wish!) or an Apollo 35th!

update given I got the call from my OB today. Calibre 321 in and ready for me to view / purchase. I know not strictly a LE but I can’t not name the three speedies I will own here!
