·Hi, everyone. Happy Monday and an early Speedy Tuesday to you all.
I received a very pleasant text from my OB this afternoon to come see the new Speedmaster Chronoscope novelties that came in. I had signed up to purchase one as soon as the pieces came in.
Three models came in, all stainless steel models with the new bracelets.
I figured I should share this with you all rather than hold on to the joy alone.
First, we have the blue dial. Absolutely mesmerizing in person.
While the case size is 43mm, the lug-to-lug is a surprising 48mm. The case is thinner than that of the 3861 sapphire so it wears very well.
Unfortunately, 42mm is my limit.
It’s too big.
Next up, we have the panda dial. Quite the layout here.
then we have the silver dial with the blue subdials. The color combo already exists with the SMP 300 but I like the execution on this more.
Now, we have the improved Speedy clasp with a two-position adjust. It’s a push and pull design with two positions as you can see below.
Position 1
position 2
The clasp “should” be compatible with the 3861 bracelets but it is not available for a separate order just yet.
finally, the caseback.
after seeing these pieces, I did not pull the trigger as I had intended before because… they were simply too big for me. Should I gain weight, I will reconsider.
the bronze gold model hadn’t arrived so i hope to see it at a later time.
Huge thanks to Omega for giving me a heads up about this.
