Except the watch in the teaser and that picture posted, look to have polished center links, and the EW321 has polished outer links.
Idk if its a new watch or not, the bracelet does not appear to match the EW321 bracelet.

So maybe a 3861 "FOIS" version instead.

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.
I doubt Omega is even producing that many 321's. My guess is they're making like half that amount based on how slow the roll out has been for it.

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.

I think they only have so many takers in 'the watch world' willing to spend $15k on it. I feel like now they're hoping to catch more interest from the Rolex types who don't really care about watches. After all, the 321 is not going to have the same limited scope as a 50th Anniversary Snoopy watch.

What do you mean by limited scope? Production or consumer interest?

Hes likely theorizing that the 50th Anniversary Snoopy will be discontinued long before the EW321, therefore it will be more of a limited production.

Yes, that the Snoopy won't be produced for long since we're already coming up on the 51st anniversary of Apollo 13. I'm sure there's maybe a year or so of production left but the 321 isn't limited to commemorating a particular event and is likely to remain in the catalog indefinitely until there's not enough interest to continue production

Look at Swatch groups approach to the Moonswatch, heavy marketing, no availability. No matter what the ad actually represents, I can almost guarantee that it will follow the same modis operandai.

Maybe an Apollo 11 Limited Edition with a Buzz Aldrin signed case back?

The Apollo 8 has been in production for over four years, so Snoopy could be cranked out for another three or more years. Snoop is arguably a bigger seller than the Apollo 8. Omega is not going to leave money on the table. As long as the beagle is breathing they will make them.

That is just the standard current Moonwatch. Of more interest is the straight lug on Buzz's wrist. Is it the existing NEW 321 or something new? It is hard to tell if there are lug facets/bevels there or not. If so, it is something new, if not then it is probably just the existing NEW 321.
