Congratulations! Picked up the same model myself on Saturday. What a great timepiece!
One of the most beautiful Speedys ever, imo. The fact that the movement is assembled by hand is amazing.

Are they providing updated premium boxes or did you just get the old speedmaster type box?

I got a BIG speedmaster box, all black, and some books about speedmasters.

Steel 321's come in the older style 'suitcase' box with extra strap, springbar tool, loupe, booklets. I think the strategy here is Omega wants this to be considered a normal watch in the catalog (not a Limited Edition), and when it was introduced in 2020 the standard was the big suitcase that all steel 1861 (hesalite and sapphire sandwich) Speedmasters came in. This was reduced to a smaller box when the 3861 came out, but since they started with the bigger box for the 321 they have to stick with it.

I was just asking because I came across a pre owned one on ebay that has a more "premium" wooden case that is black. Similar to dark side of the moon boxes

Although the box doesn't really add anything, for a watch like the EW 321 I think a full, complete set is better, especially when the watch is eventually sold on (all watches will eventually be sold on).

Pics?

The only unique black "premium" box I've seen is for the rainbow Canopus Speedmaster:

I asked OB in Seoul last Oct, and they said there's none in Korea, hence no guarantee how long I need to wait. Luckily, I came across a good condition at a secondary so I bought it. It was aftet 2 months after I purchased my the first speedy (3861 hesalite).
