Nice find Altair! :thumbsup:

I'm still not 100% convinced it looks "Speedmaster enough" with just the twin registers


Thats actually one of the reasons I like the watch, what with the seemingly endless list of Speedmaster versions that are barely distinguishable at first glance it is nice to see that they have come out with a fresh take yet preserved the basic DNA of the model. I look for that in allot of brands, Panerai, IWC, AP....I think Omega hit the nail on the head with this one!

I agree completely, but I guess I was just hoping for that totally classic Speedmaster look, but in the 44.25mm case and a date. Basically, like the current 3313 equiped version but with an in-house movement........... but then I guess that would've been way too similar to 3313 equiped one anyway!

That said, I really do like this new version in it's own right. I'm looking forward to seeing it in person to make a final judgement.

I agree, plenty of regular speedies still available to choose from. The added date and auto operation make this model more of an every day wearer IMO. Will have to see it in person.

Im not a fan of Omega in the least, but that black PO is looking mighty fine.
