...But to answer your question, it is not a "novelty" per say since it is a tribute to the 1969 model, but it is very well executed, the first watch fitted with the 3861... and has a stunning unique color to it.

is that two of the new ones, or an old one and a original one?

Easy to see when looking at the hands:
Left = New (2019) , Right = old

The model you are inquiring about 310.60.42.50.99.001 Moonshine gold, onyx markers, red bezel. limited to 1014 pieces using 3861 movement. Then they make this piece, 310.60.42.50.01.001, not limited but same movement but in sedna gold, black dial. black bezel. The LE piece is different from anything else offered although I would not mind this sedna gold watch. On C24 the 310.60.42.50.99.001 is pricing above original MSRP and also limited number of pieces, special box also. Who knows how many of the sedna gold the will make even though not a limited piece. I might suggest get this sedna gold version since it is a unique Speedmaster as well as the LE. Possibly could get this non LE at a discount from an AD but on C24 prices rising above MSRP.Website says boutique only so maybe no discounting.

In the US, the gold Speedmasters are boutique only. Even then most boutiques won’t even have this sitting in the window. You’ll need to drop a deposit to have them order it for you so discounts on this aren’t very likely.

It’s stunning and very very special. It won’t ever be a novelty. I also think right now it’s significantly undervalued.

MSG=best speedy ever. The two current gold offerings only exist to emphasize that imho. But then again, I’m biased…

I decided to go with black PVD to match the onyx markers. It's a Erika's original and they don't offer it in Gold 🙁
Would be nice if Omega offered something similar with matching MSG buckle (like Tudor have done with the 18k black bay green)

Agree 200%

Would also absolutely love for Omega to offer a deployant buckle in MSG to be able to put it on a black crocodile strap from time to time!!!

Bienne... if you are "listening"... 😗

Would love a deployment buckle. I have a brown Omega strap and it's on the oem gold plated buckle. Looks good but would looooooooove a deployment clasp.

I'm curious about why you're curious.

Have your eyes on one? If so, why the hesitation? What are your thoughts on this?
