For those of you jaded by all the 50th Speedy hype, this upcoming model was just dropped by Omega on social media. It has quite a busy dial, and unlike other world timers it has Bienne listed. As I already have a common or garden Speedmaster, I think this would look nice on my wrist.
This is probably the most interesting release to me out of all models. I'm waiting for a worldtimer expert to chime in and tell us whether they got the implementation right or wrong.
These have been available in rose gold for a while I think but being released in steel should mean its in a somewhat attainable price range now
Thanks - seen the price in the U.K. now. Just under £7k. Given the speedy and this are priced roughly the same it’s not an easy choice I think.
I like - especially the relief in the center is lovely. It's great to see this technique in a variety of watches now. Aesthetics wise, this could (almost) give the JLC Geophysic Universal Time a run run for its money.
Been dying for this one ever since the platinum version back in 2017 – love it that it's a worldtimer with proper water resistance, something that held me back from getting the Geophysic UT. Eager to see how the new(ish) 43mm AT case wears – I had the old GoodPlanet GMT, and could just never get it to fit quite right.
I really like this. I'm not sold on the red text for 'London', but otherwise it's very eye-catching. Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh.
It's a little bummer to me that only timezone disc in the middle spins according to hour hand which is somewhat like a gmt watch with a depicted worldmap on. But still It will be a great menace to JLC or other prominet brands having worldtimer watches in a similar price range.
As much as I like pizza, not sure I'll follow this advice Health comes before watches, so I'll wear smaller watches but I should enjoy them for longer
Wow, this one is really amazing! I'd buy one even only for this very reason: (from Omega website) The contrasting colours of the Earth’s surface are obtained naturally by the laser’s chemical reaction.
I read that as "we shot a laser at various heats at some titanium until it made a bunch of cool colors..."
So, I thought about this, and I think this is actually awesome – it's a 'true' traveler's worldtimer, which makes this even more rare. Since it operates like a proper GMT, the world time (and thereby home time) are always 'static,' no matter where you are in the world. I'd argue that the rotating worldtime disc is only beneficial for a traditional 3-hand display.
