Meh, I was never one to wait and just pulled the plug on my own white dial Speedy - albeit a Rising Sun Tokyo edition, which I just love. Hoping I won't now regret it! 🤦

This looks similar to the DSOTM Apollo 8

The one picture shows parts of „Coaxial“ and „Master Chronometer“ on the back, it is not the back of the Apollo 8

Maybe they show us the new „ … Side of the Moon“ with Coaxial and Ceramic in 42mm?

It's clear that It Is not a White Dial!

Yep, looks like we get something different (fits to the info of RJ).

Definitely seems like a DSOTM update. The logo on the crown is engraved rather than embossed. Single subdial hand makes me think it's a variation of the Apollo 8/Alinghi model.

Yes, I noticed that as well. Also the dial doesn't seem to be skeletonized.

My wild guess it's a DSOTM update, that's somehow connected to Apollo 11 (55th anniversary this year).

At least it’s getting interesting to wait and analyse until tomorrow 🍿

Looks like a DSOTM update. This one as an Apollo special edition. Ceramic, could be the new material. Manual wind. Might be 44,25 mm. Price bracket 15k - 20k I expect.

You won't, the Rising Sun is unique, and with only 2020 examples made it will be very collectible.

It’s written „Dark side of the Moon“ and „Apollo“ as well as DEC 21? or 23?😗

Apollo 8 took off on Dec 21 1968 and splashed down on the 27th. The only other Apollo Mission in December was Apollo 17, from Dec 17 - 19 1972.

Maybe it's just a new Apollo 8 with updated movement.

Hesalite with display back is the way.

This is my hope 😀 I’m wanting to get one with my first white NATO strap too!

Sounds like it, but they are going through a lot of effort in the introduction if it's just a version of the 3861 with the same laser ablated surface, and maybe the Spirate adjustment feature. Not exactly earth shattering.
