·I'm willing to bet that we will see variants of these watches in the future. Omega must have made new patterns and tooling to manufacture these. Much like they reused designs for the Spectre SM300 and the non-LE SM coax, as well as the FOIS, CK2998, and Sedna Gold Speedmasters, I doubt the trilogy will be a one-and-done. We may not see such a faithful reproduction again, but for those worrying about price or missing the boat on the trilogy LE, I'm thinking there will be more to come.
I made a whole video blog on the Basel releases we've seen so far and basically explained why I think the heritage Railmaster and Seamaster are here to stay. I won't link it because I don't want to "self promote," but I'm sure if you looked hard enough you could find it. That said, if I can pull the money together, I have eyes on a SM300. The size, automatic movement, waterproofing all scream buy me. Plus my collection is missing a diver at the moment.

·I bit of hesitation on my side. i am a member since an year and a half already and have around a 100 posts. There are people around with over 5000 posts membership duration 3 years. Is the membership professional. I would be able to participate in such manner only and if i leave everything else aside. And there are others that have a membership since the latest weeks but seem to know everything. Just curious what would be the comments around these facts? By the way lack of comments is pretty good answer at the end as well. Shall i be banished for such like observations?

·I would like to encourage you all to buy any and all of these. They are awesome watches. They are much better than vintage. Modern movement, warranty, new tech. Everything you could want. Please. Spend your money!

·What is the reason for having such a price hike? Well over 7000 eur for speedmaster. While the regular one is less than 5000 eur. Lunar rover is still available and is around 4500 eur? Silver Snoopy was less than 6000 and now we end up at 7000 and that is in midst of crippled sales in two-digit figures for latest 3 years in a row? Hesalite crystal, solid back, nothing that makes it more expensive to manufacture. A part of design which makes it finally special.
The cost of a watch little or nothing to do with the manufacturing inputs.

··Spell Master!Fair enough comment - Still I honestly don't think that most people possibly ready (enthusiastically and financially speaking) to fork out the 20KCHF/$/€ will be deterred by the trilogy text... if only because in the long run this means this very text validates the "real" trilogy pieces which is exactly what the target is after! 😀

·Does anyone have an idea why the Speedmaster only has a 2 year warranty, whereas the SM300 and Railmaster have 4 year warranties? I realize the movements are different and manual vs. automatic. So, do all new Speedmasters with manual wind movements only have 2 year warranties? I was under the assumption all Omegas nowadays came with a 4 year warranty. Guess I assumed wrong.

Guess it just depends how keen you are and how much free time you have. A few folks here do trade in watches, but I'm sure most are just enthusiasts like myself.

·My FOIS which I purchased in December also has a 2 year warranty, so I think it must be specific to the manual-wind 1861 movement.

··Oooo subtitles!2 years is the std warranty. They stretched it to 3 years on the early Co-ax stuff and now 4 years on the in-house co-ax hence the non co-ax 1861 is 2 years only.

·To me, this is the most exciting release this year
THE bracelet for CK2998/FOIS =)
Photoshop says it fits, and I doubt that Omega bothered to design a brand new case. Fingers crossed, this works

They are endorsing the tech behind their new movements. Coaxial and Master-Coaxial movements all have 4 years warranty...

·I was thinking, in the case of the Speedmaster, that the case might be the same case used in the FOIS but the 1mm difference in diameter was down to the narrower bezel. Can anyone confirm or deny this? If it's true then we can be confident that the bracelet will work with the FOIS and CK2998.
