I love it, but that Au750 absolutely ruins it for me.

If it weren’t there I’d deplete the 6239 fund and put my name down.

 

What is the Austrian or German price in eur? Tax or without?

 

And what do the ST1 and ST2 flippers who flipped thinking the 50th would be the watch think

 

I just can’t understand why anyone would want to flip either the ST1 or ST2 for any other watch personally???

 

It is quite cool how they acknowledge the importance of the Omega community. Thereby I think its is really interesting how they continue to focus on their heritage and try to bring new products with modern technology which respect to the history. There are some (new) collectors who only collect modern Speedies. Thats a big accomplishment. From all the brands they do this on a really refreshing kind of way by really listening to the community and without being too pretentious. But oh boy it is a really thin line. If you over do it people get bored with it. Or if you don't get everything right from design, customer service, and build quality, people turn their backs to you. Glad they learned their lesson in the importance of execution. To me it seems to be quite difficult to bring each year new Speedmasters that make sense to the community and add something to the Speedmaster heritage. That is a really big challenge.

 

I agree. You can only re-invent a wheel so many times.

 

I’m not fan of gold watches and am not in the market for limited edition watch but I do like it and think it is fitting for the 50th anniversary.

I wonder whether the new movement will now become standard for the Speedy Pro (they will probably still be able to get away with ‘first watch on the moon’ if not ‘flight-qualified by Nasa’, etc.) and the forthcoming 321 Speedy will become the heritage moonwatch?

 

Hi all,

First post and proud owner of a 40th Anniversary (311.30.42.30.01.002).

Like all of us, I have been waiting for the release of the 50th for ages (I guess ten years ) and whilst this version is not for me I think it is a terrific rendition & nod to the original. The caseback is brilliant.

Could someone please help me with these questions?
* I emailed Omega to ask to be on their ‘waitlist’ for the 50th but so far have heard nothing - can someone direct me to how & where there is a better more direct and efficient means of waitlisting?

* I’ve heard quite a bit about the Snoopy 45th Apollo 13 (311.32.42.30.04.003) - are they all sold out via Omega and now only through resellers / ebay etc?

* Finally, has anyone got any idea on timeline for a stainless steel variant of the 50th?

Sorry for the noob questions but I appreciate any info.

Cheers!

 

Would Omega do this one (from “First Man”) for the stainless model or do you think this will be the one with the 321 in it at a later announcement? I am thinking they will save this for the 321 and do something else for the 50th Anniversary in steel.

 

Get in touch with Omega Boutiques and Authorised Distributors directly and ask them if they can put you on their wait list. There is no centralised list or allocation.

Unless you were very luck, the answer is yes.

Few know for sure, but I'd suggest: announcement in the next few weeks and availability in the next few months.

 

@rwelliot
Add Professional to the dial and You might be there, as the 105.012 Apollo 11 Speedmaster is the model to get the 1969-2019 tribute !

 

I wasn’t far out with my prediction about the gold 50th Speedy, and the brushed bracelet and updated movement look very nice, however sadly it’s way out of my league.

I’m interested to know the difference between Omega’s Moonshine gold and Hublot’s Magic Gold as they both seem to have appeared at ariund the same time (Hublot Big Bang Ferrari), or is this just a coincidence...

 

Thank you very much Arcadelt for your info and quick reply, I appreciate it

 

Professional with a straight lugs case?

 

This

 

Omega is really unpredictable. They launched four limited edition Speedmasters in Japan for Olympic Games two years away at the moment. They can end up releasing 3 anniversary editions in 2019 and then another three next year celebrating that the 50th anniversary were yesteryear

 

This is the new Speedy I've been waiting for.

 

I love the gold Speedy 50th Anni version released yesterday - already pulled the trigger
____ but: I'am not sure if I'am going to wear it very often ...

 

Congrats

 

Well they have to spread production over time and decide on priorities as the 50 years Apollo 11 is a very important event.
Moreover, the (over-) enthusiastic online Omega (Speedmaster) community might get bored or unable to cope with which one to buy with another "every-six-months" Speedmaster LE ...
