    Omega’s Speedmaster Moonphase watches go back to 1985, when Omega did a limited run of 1300 Speedmaster Professional watches with a Moonphase and 700 of the German Teutonic case Speedmaster Moonphase watches, all with Lemania based caliber 866. Even today, a new version of this movement (caliber 1866) is being used in the Speedmaster Professional Moonphase watch. It was also being used in the Speedmaster Professional Moonphase in 44.25mm with the beautiful Aventurine dial. Today, on Speedy Tuesday, Omega shows us the new Speedmaster Moonphase Chronograph Master Chronometer that is based on the Speedmaster 9300 collection. However, for the Moonphase […]

    Beautiful, but I'm keen on seeing the blue colour live.
    Nice to see that particular movement in a Speedy.

    Although I still trying to convince myself to not get one with an aventurine dial.

    Finally they put the moonphase somewhere where the tachy hand won't block it.

    That's the best looking moonphase speedy I've seen.

    ...although the aventurine dial is so pretty...

    :eek:

    That is a nice one! $9400 USD. I am gonna have to wait for secondary market on this one.

    I am now saying just one more watch (given up on no more watches) and this one is in the running. In fact the more I look at it, the more I think this could be the last one!

    Following AP's lead with the photo style moon? Looking forward to more photos- I'm afraid a shiny blue strap is going to kill this one for me. If only Omega had a tendency to release a wide spectrum of color variants :)

    Being a Speedy moonphase collector and fanatic, I need a moment alone on this one.

    Interestingly its liquidmetal/blue with stainless steel this time not titanium too. Very, very pretty watch, and perfectly timed rain on the SIHH parade lol

    That is quite a large moon phase disc too, and a beautifully designed one, looks almost like a photo-accurate image of the moon rather than the typical representation of a smiling man in it.

    It is sad they are cruelly holding back movement photos.

    They should have made the case in blue ceramic. Blancapain has a blue ceramic ($20k).

    I'd like to see the Omega marketing team come talk with the members here. I think collectively we could knock it out of the ball park.

    I did a google search and this is not even on the Omega web site. Only place it comes up is Fratello. I guess they have the inside scoop :)

    EDIT: my bad, the Blancpain is grey ceramic.

    Oh wow, new shiny object, cool! First impressions based on 10 seconds of staring at image:

    Love:
    - Blue Dial, blue LM bezel
    - Photo realistic moonphase
    - Master chronometer

    Don't Love (at least based on picture)
    - Red accents, normally I love red but something looks off to me, have to see in the metal
    - The 0, 15, 29.5 labels on moonphase, I say why bother with those
    - Price point. Seems high, need to think about this more

    I'll assume caseback is sapphire display back, would be nice to see it.
