·this is a real watch offered to military pilots only. you have to be a winged aviator/pilot/navigator and show documents to get one. Im with a group that is in contact with Omega to buy around 50 of these with custom casebacks like you see above. Ours have US Navy wings, our names/CS and other meaningful engravings at the 12/3/6/9. the brochure from Omega has US Army and USAF wings--im sure other countries badges too. It also comes with the Ed White bracelet. ive got a digital brochure around here somewhere.... ive also got a custom IWC with Navy wings..

Please share a wrist shot when available. (Pics of the brochure would be great, too.)

·Posts like this are interesting to me. You literally just joined the forum and this is your first post. With such a vague thread title, how did you even come about finding it to share such specific info?

·the name on there--charles laevens-- is the contact at swatchgroup for pre-orders.... i assume it was a mockup image that just needed something on it to illustrate the realm of the possible
i applaud your skepticism, always a good quality these days...

·yeah i did, because i searched for that image and wanted to comment on it. i was wondering if anyone beyond my pilot group knew about this offering. im not selling anything and dont care about posting, i would have posted without joining if i could but here are some clips from the brochure.
Does it come with both the strap and bracelet? The bracelet is pretty nice, although the strap might be more practical.

·Interesting. Makes me wonder how many of these types of small-production, special-customer designs are floating round out there, and how long Omega has been producing them. Anyone have any insight into this?

·There was another U2 pilot who joined the forum years back. I think he retired from the service.

Sometimes I do pretend while at work:
It was a great day for flying today:
San Francisco Bay was nice and clear today:
Blue skies, y'all!
-only Jake
P.S. Many thanks to @duc for the official Omega long strap!

·omega does a seamaster for special forces.... we tried to get seamasters too, but omega said no, you pilots get the pilot one... it supposed to be a "when you see it, you know" kind a thing.

I've seen some of those. Very cool.
To be honest, when this thread first popped up, I was fairly certain that the original images were probably AI generated and quite fake. The supporting posts and images add enough validity that I no longer believe that.
Crazy day and age we're stepping into.

··Oooo subtitles!A water resistant Speedmaster! (Hope you never need it, except for R&R.)

There have been 100m resistance rated Speedmasters before, just not in the Moonwatch or Pro lines. Broad Arrows were so rated.

The 311.33.42.50.01.001 50th anniversary had 100m of water resistance as well.

That too is in the Broad Arrow line ie it used a 3313 derived movement rather than 1861. I think it applied across the board with those.
