I've been confused about this. I know Fratello was doing an event - but I haven't heard a thing.....
The event consisted of a presentation about the Spirate system (design, development, manufac process, etc.) and there was a focus on the new Super Racing Speedy:
https://www.omegawatches.com/watches/speedmaster/two-counters/super-racing/product

This was followed by an in depth dive into the various dial types and how they are made. They went over the various Speedy dials, Radium>Tritium> Super Luminova. Also, carbon, ceramic, aventurine, meteorite, etc. etc. dials. It was quite interesting, but nothing was unveiled at the event, as fun as it was.

To this day I don’t know the real story behind the image in the book.
I don’t have the book, but could it be one of the standard Speedmaster Pro’s that left the factory with a blue tinted crystal?

Sure they could release a new Speedmaster... but at this stage, who's buying the bullshit?

No seriously, if you could make yourself known, I have some magic beans that I think you'll be very interested in.

Maybe change the title here in ; show your Speedmaster Specialties ??
Lots of nice ones around here with either changed bezels, hands or dials. We do need a good monniker, like the Seamaster have their WatchCo`s, like home improved, arts&crafted, upgraded or resto-modded, as long as it is not Frank&watchCo....😉
