50th Anniversary Apollo 11 Omega Speedmaster revealed

[halfpenny43]

HERE is this announcement on Hodinkee

Nice looking piece with the new movement - but not sure I'll be investing in this - assuming you can get one at all !

Much preferable to the gold one, except the lack of display-back, in my opinion.

[jshell]

£7,370! 6,960 of them! How we laughed...

It's being called the 'Ass-Master' due to the butt pic at 9 o'clock!

[GCH]

Oh look...another speedy 'limited' edition.
Milk that cash cow.


Edit to add: 'Moonshine Gold'

I’ll take 10! Blooming nasty looking thing too, ignoring the price tag.

The grey doesn’t look anywhere near as blue up close.

There are some other seamasters announced too.

Worldtimer, and a full gold and part gold one. Both Chronos.

I really like it, and the box has a space ship in it, and for that reason Im in !!!

[F355GTS]

want one 👍

[WizzBang]

That is gorgeous.

[kingkongsfinger]

Put my order in last weekend so looking forward to this watch, never spent more than a grand on a watch before.

Omega says delivery late July/early August but other watch forums say maybe as late as the end of the year !

20% deposit paid so it arrives when it arrives

[JapanRed]

I really like this but can’t see it on the Omega website...

King Kings finger - how much is this in UK? About £7k I’m guessing?

Are these likely to sell out and then prices skyrocket like? Or are we likely to see them hit the secondhand market at a reduced price in a year or so?

I’ve got the two watches below but missed the boat on both and ended up paying more than RRP. I’d be keen to avoid this if at all possible in future.

7.3k in UK

There are 6969 being made. And now Omega have started online sales of watches so there won’t be loads in dealers. Most AD’s already have a handful of orders.

Agreed, do you know how many have been allocated to the UK?

Guys I’ve only just gone and got one!!!! After being told this is sold out worldwide I phoned a lot of places this morning. Someone has just called me back and I’ve paid a deposit. Can’t wait

[Squadrone Rosso]

Much like the Monaco 50th, I’m disappointed in this. Would have / should have been a Grail with a 321.

Love the bracelet though & some of the retro details.

Congrats. This needs of course the obligatory picture.

Any real world wrist pictures of this one?

Anniversary soon approaching...
