I would love to see a 43.75mm Planet Ocean. Not going to happen I know, but one can always dream...

It may not be as feminine as we think. If the bezel is white maybe, but if it's black ceramic with white numerals... Or steel?

They trademarked "Speedmaster White Side of the Moon" so I would guess this is all white ceramic and will also be extremely boring since its the 3rd "X' Side of the Moon in 3 years.

I'd rather they spent the time refining and updating existing models over regurgitating the same idea over and over again.

I'd be much happier to see the adjustable clasp integrated to all models and a slimmer profile on their 9300 caliber watches.

I agree, it's a bit swatch gimmicky to just keep going on the x side of the moon theme.

The 8500 Cal could also be brought to a slightly thinner profile on the PO's

Agreed!!! The clasp on my SM300 Master Co-Ax with the adjustments is great. My Planet Ocean is a hair too small and if I add the half link its just a bit too loose.

Yep that's where the white will come from, wonder if an goldish-bronze one from the lunar module would be on the cards next year

this could either go really well, or really, REALLY terribly.

That, or introducing new models or refreshes. While the Bullhead and Mark II reissues were cool, they certainly weren't particularly big sellers. They seemed to strike a chord with the SM300, so that was a win. Personally, I would've hoped they go for a refresh of the Dynamic, a popular enough line from the past to garner quite a bit of support.

Well... Odds are we will see a retro inspired railmaster... That may look just like a sm300 with smooth bezel...

A really nice watch... A mature AT so to speak.

Yes... I think it would be cool...likely hand-wound using the Tresor movement (but SS not Precious metal)... slimmer...(a minus for me, a plus for many)

But if they bring the same Patina inspired dial and Markers... then it will be just more milking last years successes, and a potential bust creatively...

I am reserving judgement... I can't accept that they would just do another Ceramic speedmaster but in white... there has to be more to it...
They've given us an Astronaut's helmet, not a moon.... a helmet equipped for EVA... If we do see white ceramic... It may be a limited Gemini 50th anniversary model..
I am maintaining faith..

I agree with the patina statement. Some days I wonder how the SM 300 would look with normal markers. To me it would really rival the Submariner no date, ceramic. I love the look of my watch but it isn't for everyone.

Speaking of patina, low red pics but I don't see the patina on the many smp3oo bond picks. Which is appropriate to the character but I wonder if they'll have a LE on that model

I'm sure they will. They seem to sell well so why not. Do you think they will release it this year or next?

Agreed, Omega is better than that, I have a strong feeling this will be much more than a white ceramic Speedy!

Well if they do go for it it'll show up late summer into fall I should think. Latest along with the movie in November/ December
