The best reissue Omega has done IMO. The original Mark II from 1969, a new Speedmaster with a streamlined case. Original Caliber 861 manually wound movement. Now houses Omega Caliber 3330 Coaxial automatic.
Tons of great info with pics, diagrams, comparisons of old and new models on the website Omegawatches.com. Under Speedmaster, go to the Presentation.
At the Omega Boutique, they just received the two new models. Black dial and Grey "racing" dial. Looks so much like the original:
The dial is so symmetrical, as on the original Speedy 3750.50. No element/subdial interferes with any other element. Only a very non-conspicuous date window at 6 o'clock:
Beautiful brushed case with polished contrasting bits. The bracelet is so well done, only slightly different in proportion to the original:
The date corrector/adjuster at 10 o'clock. The case looks very thick, actually only 15mm. It is not a small watch, the wrist presence is excellent, and fits the wrist almost the same as the regular Speedy 3750.50:
I think the biggest surprise for me, is the adjustable clasp that Omega has introduced on this model, inside the clasp. Without removing any links, adjustable about 10mm in increments of appx 2mm:
Normally, on a vintage reissue watch, I would like to see a hesalite/acrylic crystal. In this case, I am glad to make an exception. The ultra-flat sapphire crystal, AR coated both sides leaves virtually no distortion. It really does look as though there is no crystal in many lighting conditions:
I like that it has a solid caseback:
Couple more detail/wrist shots:
I was stunned how beautiful a job they did with this watch. It immediately became a must-have for me. Hopefully, sooner than later I will be a proud owner!
Cheers,
Carl
This was EXACTLY (almost word for word) what I thought when I saw this thread.
