    Q: Any plans reviving 321 ?
    A: We have to respect not to play with it... but I do understand there's a lot of emotion about it...

    Sounds like a "yes" to me, Raynald.

    I perceive it as a "no"

    Indeed a "No" as they can't go mass-producing "back in time" especially when You have emphasized in the interview that the new young generation of customers looks towards modern automatic movement watches.
    Interesting fact was the announcement that the CEO, in 6 months time, will talk about a new servicing department... for vintage watches?
    Of course the whole NASA thing was mentioned several time with the half-a-century "Gold" anniversary of Apollo 11 coming up in 2019.
    I have enjoyed my Omega Speedmaster for 25 years and looked into the whole Omega-spaceflight connection for 45 years... nothing more to discover and for me it's definitively time for something completely different...

    It is a no. However they could do a super limited version of the moonwatch with 321 for the 50th anniversary. Same project can be in the works like it was
    THE FIRST OMEGA WRIST-CHRONOGRAPH LIMITED EDITION

    The last question at 51:40 about whether to take a 60 year old Constellation to Omega for servicing was predictably answered with a "yes" but it was telling that Raynald referred to their Head of "Restoration & Servicing".

    I wonder if a Limited Edition Aeschlimann / Hodinkee Speedmaster will come out of this interview...
