New Speedmaster 50th Anniversary of Moon Landing Rumors

I was at the OB recently and was told that they are taking deposits from folks that have already purchased an Omega from them (aka, existing client). The $5,000 fully refundable deposit puts you in the corporate queue for delivery - FIFO. Also, told that the Omega Sales Meeting (maybe only USA?) was this coming week, so hope to get some "real" news on what is going to take place.

I recently asked the Sydney Australia OB about taking deposits for the 50th and was told they could not and would not take deposits from customers for a product about which there is no information yet.

You posted JOMO on a social media site, now that’s a oxymoron

Interesting to know that they want to finally put the 321 in this 50th anniversary watch. To be continued...

Do these people get a receipt for this deposit? What would it say on it as it has to be ran through their til system. "$5k deposit for possible moon watch" lol??

My receipt says "Deposit for Speedmaster Apollo XI 50th Anniversary"

Got a credit card receipt. Not a AD receipt for the 5K.

I have a receipt as well:


Slightly different description than @abrod520 and I put down less money so his should arrive first!!😁

If I had known in November I would have asked them to put cal. 321 on the receipt! (joking, I know they said the Apollo 11 LE won't have it but I can still hope)

Could easily also mean “Just Ordered My Omega” 😜

Here is a wildly speculative question. What are your best guesses for the total cost of the watch?

Hm... DSOTM territory, i.e. $10,000?

If the 321 is in there, I think it will be north of $10,000
I think nearer to £20,000 as it will be one person making the movement
