Liking the look of the Speedmaster Racing (not sure if I'd go yellow or red).


Spacemaster Z-33 is er... interesting.


Semaster GMT looks good too.

Don't normally dig 'electric' watches, but in this case 'hell yes!'. party

hehe

I agree, all 3 are cracking, and would also delete the yellow Speedmaster on the strap - but not the red Omega on the Spacemaster.

That red fecker is what they promised me when I was watching Joe 90 and Captain Scarlet.
Does this mean we're going to get hover-packs soon?

Yay!

The space one looks a bit like a speedy Mk 3 case but not as deep.



With perhaps the depth of a MK2



Either way I quite like it.

I wonder if the space master has the same ETA (super) quartz movement the Breitling Aerospace uses? I'd like to see it on a bracelet but I can't help think it might be a bit fugley?

Would you be able to put a "normal" strap on the Speedmaster?
It looks great, apart from the strap!

Well....if these are the watches Omega is using to justify a price increase to compete with rolex......... Looks expensive, probably feels expensive....it will sound expensive all over the world too.

Looks like these are all still large sized. I am hoping fashion reverts back towards 36mm/37mm sizes soon. wink

The Speedmasters have always been between 39-42mm since 1956 smile

The Z-33 looks like it's in a 1970's Seamaster 145.023 style case, and that was about 45mm iirc.

So I don't think they've 'blown' these up for fashion purposes. I do know what you mean though - you'll just have to get into some period stuff while you wait for fashions to swing back again Rich wink

"OMEGA’s new thermo-compensated quartz calibre 5666" according to the blurb.

The hands drop to 3 and 9 when you want to concentrate on just the digital display.

Love it. Retro and futuristic at the same time. 4 balanced pushers, a case that harks back to the Deep Blue and the Anakin. What's not to like? At a guess, only the price.

It's the most interesting one of the lot I think, but I think the profile is just under 3 feet, lots of 'cool' though.
