This is a weird one. I wonder how many pieces Omega are expecting to sell. I love the Apollo 8 50th. This one, I don't get...
Not the biggest fan of the 6pm subdial. Nice enough, but has a look of Tudor fast rider for me. Prefer the Apollo but usually I warm up to these things. I can for sure see the appeal for some of red over yellow.
Why? I don't want them to become rolex. I'm not happy with this watch but I'm sure it'll bring alot of others joy and happiness so why do I want to prevent that from happening.
I’m glad they attempt these things, wasn’t for such risk taking we would never have the Apollo 8 DSOM which is imo perfect!
I'm not opposed for Omega to try new things, (with some kind of moderation or respect for their history) that's how we got the beauty that is the Apollo 8. But as soon as they notice any watch that is a success (in this case the Apollo8) they try to capitalize on it with yet another ridiculous limited edition based on it... what doest the Speedmaster has to do with anything near water? And that rushed and tacky design just hurts the image of the Apollo 8.
