Managed to score one of these yesterday. ETA - August 2018 I'm told.
Looks alone, this is an awesome piece with the orange motifs and DON (dot over ninety). NATO is somewhat ho hum but the leather strap has promise.
Movement is the standard 1861 so hardly any surprises there. As for me, being a 1st time Speedy Tuesday owner is an exciting prospect.
One little bummer about the whole limited edition thing is the fact Omega keeps dishing them out. Exclusivity is somewhat diminished but hey...that's the supposed narrative of the brand :thumbsup:
Your thoughts?

Speedy has been getting more popular in last few years especially on the vintage ones. It is inevitable for Omega (or any manufacturers) to capture the wave.
The good news is, the standard version moonwatch is still available with pretty affordable price I must say. You can even get some decent discount from the friendly ADs.
That being said, I can't wait for my Ultraman to arrive too ;D

I also managed to booked a Ultraman too ! Hope can get it next month & is a wonderful piece !
What You will bring to collect Your Ultraman other than money or credit card... I will bring a dinosaur for Ultraman do his job, safe the World !
Ultraman faster come to Your supporters !

Sky

Definitely riding on the popularity wave right now. Doesn’t look it’s waning either since it has been 1.5 yrs post speedy 1.
Judging by yestersay’s response, more and more folks are buying into it. So much for all the negativity on unlimited no of limited editions :-[
Apparently one was snapped up on ebay for circa usd14k. Go figure :shocked1:

From what happened with the previous Snoopy award LE and last year Speedy Tuesday LE, I suspect a lot of people are trying to make a quick and easy profit on those watches.

I think Omega's limited editions are getting more attention nowadays thanks to watch blogs such as Fratello.
Also the power of Instagram as I only noticed the news from IG and immediately stalking Omega's website. ;D

Yes...naysayers aside, online ordering has turned out be less of a gimmick and indeed a fairer way for us mere mortals to purchase.Couldn’t agree more with you.

We place our orders online for a fair price and get what we pay for without drama and requests from unscrupulous ADs/Boutiques to buy other pieces first or add a premium on the MSRP.
Similarly, the massive price increase in the last 10 years from most of the Swiss brands (and a particular British one) to appear more high-end is insane. Except a handful of brands, they can all be had at 20%-30% off. What does it say about the real value of their products?

Granted it is a change from the normal speedy pro but Omega has been doing this yearly launching one edition after another. It's getting stale. Remember panerai and what happened after...l am just glad I picked up the Tintin when I saw it.

Still waiting for the delivery of mine to the point I am no longer excited about it. Checked with the boutique and was told “very,very soon”. That was in August. Nice to see pictures of it online though.
Got mine a couple of weeks ago. Ok watch at the retail price of RM20k+ in my humble opinion.
Presentation doesn't lack pizzaz though :thumbsup:
