Where do you guys get the timing from? Am I missing some info?
Also... please let it have a modern flat link bracelet, like the 60th anniversary 🥰

··Oooo subtitles!I don’t think it will reference the Ultraman at all. The red is wrong and the black stripe down the hand does suggest something new for a Speedmaster. I just hope to god it isn’t a tribute to the BMW Art Cars. That is to say a dial splattered with paint in the style of Jackson Pollack with a go faster stripe on the hand. That sounds a bit pants. If it is an M Power themed dial, I guess we can also expect a lot of dark and light blue to make up the 3 colours of the badge but I think and hope it’ll be something more subtle than that. The BMW thing could be a Red herring of course (see what I did there?). I too think some kind of Racing Dial variant is likely. If it is to do with the Art cars, IMO the Jeff Koons one is just about tolerable and may be the best (see the e92 M3 below). Some of the others not so much.

·I’m guessing like the first ST it’s a mix of influences. Probably a new racing dial with that red/orange seconds hand to give an ultraman nod. 2.5hrs to go! Maybe something in the vein of this.

·Well I have the teaser email from Omega this morning......let’s see what this new LE is then!
I’m not liking the BMW theories, a watch that identifies you as a complete tosser, even when you’re not behind the wheel? 😁

·I'm agreeing it’s a 1968 mash-up as surmised by @nurseford25: black or grey racing dial and Ultraman hand, but in red. If so, hope they put it in the FOIS or 60th Anniversary case.

I'd take it up in a heartbeat if they put it in the 60th case.

··Oooo subtitles!cheers - I guess I should have been less US-centric in my question - where do you see the noon GMT+1 timing note, please?

·It's actually Noon GMT +2, since both the UK and Europe are on Daylight Saving/Summer time. The isn't a note about it, it is when the last Speedy Tuesday was released so it is just an educated assumption based on that and I think I saw RJ justify the timing in one of the threads when he was asked about it by some disgruntled Californians.
got it - cheers. Thought there had been some kind of announcement this year to get ready at noon, and I had missed it 😀
(and I stand corrected on the timezone thing)

·This month marks 40 years since selling M-series cars to the public (i beleive RJ's dash pic is the inside of the M1).
Next month marks 100 years since the formation of the company BMW.
My vote would be no.1 😀 But soon we shall see (or not!)
