To summarize Monochrome Watches's prediction based on the CK2915:

steel bezel with engraved tachymeter scale
straight lugs, no crown protection
smaller diameter
clean dial with “Omega Speedmaster” only
metallic Broad Arrow hands and white Alpha hands in sub-counters

What do you guys think?

I like it a lot!

I like it and think they should have done it already, but one could build this today with parts from an FOIS and a 3594.50. I have to think Omega will do something a bit more unique with it, somehow. I know faux patina is frowned upon by some, but I happen to think the Seamaster 300 reissue is awesome, and I'd like to see at least a slight shade of yellow on the dial and hand lume on this. The white SuperLuminova just looks cold IMO

+1 on the faux patina, it would help further distinguish it from the FOIS. Also this watch needs the old AML.

Of course, I missed that! I'd bet it will have one though, seeing as they've reintroduced it on the Speedy Tuesday.

Would buy this in a heartbeat. Not crazy about the 1957-2017 text under the speedmaster script though. And agree, old AML and faux patina would be nice

if this really going to be the 60th anniversary I am glad I got the speedy Tuesday.

Gorgeous watch. Would be even better if they included some faux patina. I would have to have one of these, patina or no.

Wouldn't be the first time for faux patina..

Yep, something like that in the FOIS case with an 1861 (or ideally a new-issue 321 or variant) would be ideal

Well the trilogy box set looks nice for 20 k 😀....Although worth the buy for LE 60th anniversary speedy for 6700 USD ??
