Omega Speedmaster Apollo 11 50th Anniversary in Steel - Expectations

R RF_ZH

Hi guys,

The watch will feature a full steel braclet and a case without any gold. Just the the numbers on the dial will be yellow gold, as well as the rings of the totalisators.

I had the watch on my wrist three weeks ago and it looks nice. However there is a strict NDA and that is the info also Omega ADs can reveal so far. (If u squeeze them enough). Pictures have been strictly forbidden during the event and that has been strictly enforced by Omega staff. ( You also had to hand in your mobile while having the watch on your wrist...

Iam in weekly contact with Omega as more and more is leaked (like the 6969 pieces), so probably pictures will be even released in the next few weeks. (Omega planned 15th of May in the presentation during „time to move“.

Do you know if the dial is still black and movement it will be based upon?

Dial is black, yes. Movement was morelike a secret, but i doubt 321... However the price tag was suggesting that in the first place, as the significant uplift in price was not really explained.


It is black. Movement 3861. 321 might be for platinum version coming later this year. (Price tag 50k+)

Omega spend tons of money to MRT/MRI the old 321 and rebuild it. However the have been very secretive in regard to the SS movement and the price still seems a bit off given the amount of gold which is used.( Most of our clients questioned the price increase and i have about 10 who already called back their deposit.)

Price increase? You mean from the regular speedy professional? In uk is it possible to put any deposit down yet?

Do you think it might be white gold in the bezel and pushers. That could increase the price.

They mention to me their is not even a list yet? Which OBs are taking names?

Many have already taken deposits. I put mine down a couple of weeks ago.

I had put a deposit down but decided to pull it back. With that many being sold (6969), they will quickly be selling online close to or even below retail price once the flippers start getting theirs. I'd rather wait for next year's Apollo 13... hopefully Snoopy 3!
