·I don’t know if mentioned already but Thursday 26th January 2023 is also the NASA Apollo 1 commemoration date. Possible link?

My guess: 321. 42 Steel Case. Moonwatch Professional Dial. Sapphire Sandwich. Flat Bracelet.
January 26 is the memorial date for the 17 astronauts on Apollo 1, Challenger, and Columbia. The Omega video now has graphite before the hair spring. Fratello mentioned 2023 was the 10th of the dark side of the moon. It’s the 20th of the Columbia disaster.

L logannBut there is already this one:

"Total product weight (approx.): 74 g"
You mean the massive change would be 50g Speedy?
If so I'm out
A ceramic Speedy Pro would be hard to resist, but I hope the price doesn't scale with 1/weight. I thought the Aqua Terra ultralight was quite cool, until I saw the $48.6k price tag.
I sparkle this discussion with my suggestion: given the new alloy called O-MEGASTEELE, in 2023 we could see a redesigned Planet Ocean 600m with a slimmer profile, thank to this new alloy.
A re-issue of the original (cal. 2500) LMLE, as slim as the current 300m, or maybe less (!), but with modern calibers and less bold hands and numbers on the dial.
Has Omega said how long will they make the summer blue celebratory models? Will they go back to the see through case back after a couple year run or will the engraving be the new way forward? Collectors prefer some transparency on this. I buy dial variants of the moon watch because it’s their one big hit. I already have a 300, 300m, PO, so as nice as the dials are, a model made in the thousands per year isn’t worth collecting. The ploprof and the ultradeep might be the ones that’ll be collected down the line (not models made in large numbers…too big for most).
