Looks like they pulled the page down. But based on discussions in another forum where the link was posted, it'll be $250 and only available in select Swatch stores.
And it said “limit 2 per customer”

No Swatch stores around me.
Well, 1.5 hrs away. But no lol.

It says that availability is in selected Swatch stores but the ‘cases’ were allegedly being displayed in both Swatch and Omega store windows

i just spoke to Houston OB.

They have one of the display cases, and the sales (temporary) manager says they’ve all signed NDAs that disallow her from even telling whether they’ll be a sales point, or if the Swatch shop down the street will be, etc.

So, the hype machinery is fully greased!

I am really not surprised by this. This is how Swatch has successfully released a number of limited editions in the past.

Why are omega doing this?

my initial view is that these are mostly grotesque and completely unnecessary

Well, a good leak-and-yank could be part of many good hype rollouts

I’d love to be a fly on the wall of the Yalta conference along Omega+Swatch and the main media outlets:

O+S: “Ok, Fratello, good news - you get to be the official outlet to break the story two days before sales open, on the 24th.”

Fratello: “Sweet!”

O+S: “Ok but Revolution, you get to make the unofficial leak, on the 23rd!”

Fratello: *side eye*

I think it is a brilliant idea ! As a matter of fact I would not mind getting one or two.... Let's hope that they do not make these limited editions.... I have the impression that they will disappear very quickly if they do.

Taking your halo product and bastardising it in collaboration with Swatch does seem rather mad.

I’ll pick up a black one, stick it on a proper strap and forget about purchasing that 7k Speedmaster.

TYVM, Omega.
