That article was originally from 2016.
Things can take time to materialize, not to mention that the past several years have been anything but easy.

I'd still love to see a Sally Ride edition some day.

Ceramic bezel straight lug. Hmmm


Otherwise it’s obviously a watch with 1 other watch attached. 9k for the watch another 11k for his signature.

and somehow looks like polished center links. I played a bit with the photo to bring some details out, hard to see but some details do stand out:



also.. They focus A LOT on his rings, not sure what they are about, but they are highlighted 2-3 times in the video.

That`s E.T.s watch.... they must be done with Snoopy i guess ?

This is a forum for information... so be more specific 😜
In fact, since the last couple of years veteran astronaut Edwin Buzz Aldrin wore 3 watches, 2 on that special bracelet:
Omega deVille co-axial chronoscope GMT
Omega X-33 Speedmaster chronograph
Omega Solar Impulse HB-SIA GMT on his righthand wrist

One more remark:
No idea what they're promoting but the month of July = Apollo 11 ( in the next years = ASTP ).
FOIS in space should mean a Mercury-Atlas rocket and this is the huge 111m high Saturn V of the Apollo project.
Then again, this says nothing as the "marketing boys/girls" already got it wrong on 3 occasions in the past showing the wrong footage or photographs for a specific mission.

wasn't the moon landing July 20? That would make the anniversary tomorrow instead

July 21 GMT, July 20 in the US.


No new watch - it's just a new ad campaign featuring Aldrin wearing the Ed White reissue.

They end the video with 'Soon' written there, if it wasn't for it I too wouldn't think of some sort of product release coming, but I guess we'll find out soon enough

Yeah it does seem that way but these days, the best way to get people watching your new ad campaigns is to tease them as though they are a new release. This will be a short film most likely, followed by a big ad campaign push in print and digital (maybe TV and out of home too) with Buzz wearing the 321.

It might not be a great idea to advertise an unavailable watch, but people love what they can’t have. The watch world is weird.

If it's just a campaign to showcase the EW 321 they better be making more than 800-1000 pieces per year or you'll have many frustated wannabe owners. Waiting lists are already long for this watch, but maybe they are doing the Snoopy strategy.
