This is the 3rd edition of Porsche Car Club of America’s Co-project with watch brands.

The first was a Tag Heuer Monaco, for their 55th anniversary (2010), sold out. I wasn’t aware of that because I was not a member then but I think this one looks good.

The 2nd one was for their 60th anniversary (2015) with Chopard, on their Mille Miglia model. I hesitated on this one because of the bright color back then but it was also sold out. Look at how popular blue color nowadays.

60 pcs

6 pcs for the 18k gold model.

This time they partnered with Omega, but it’s not for any anniversary (I wonder what’s the occasion?) because it’s only 2 years after their last edition. Using Omega’s popular GSOTM, with some treatments of the dial and yellow accents, mimicking Porsche’s ceramic brakes.

I’m liking what I see but maybe most members dislike the limited number scribes on the dial. This is Omega’s thing nowadays so it’s unavoidable and I’m good with it actually.

What do you think about this 3rd release?

Enjoy the fresh photos.

Key Points from the Discussion

The Omega Speedmaster GSOTM PCA edition, with its unique yellow accents mimicking Porsche ceramic brakes, is highly appealing, with one member willing to overlook Omega's typical caseback protrusion for this specific design.
A 25-year PCA member placed an order for the watch, noting its perfect match with their GreyBlack PTS 991TTS and serving as a casual alternative to their dressier GSOM Meteorite.
Eligibility for purchase is tied to PCA membership, which can be a barrier for some enthusiasts, but the limited edition numbering on the dial and color scheme are appreciated by those who qualify.
The original poster, Clueless_Collector, also placed an order, highlighting the quick decision-making process required for these limited editions, with confirmation and payment received shortly after the initial post.

wow I think it looks great!

I don't have the car so I wouldn't be eligible anyway but in your case perhaps is worth it ? I like the LE on the dial and the color scheme. Christian

I like the Omega version best! You should go for it.

Stunning sports watch, more appealing than the regular ones, IMO.

I always wanted a xSOTM but can’t decide which version...

This might be it! Thanks Michael. Rgds Raymond

I'll tell you what, if Omega made this model for regular GMC diesel truck guys like me...

I would buy one. Maybe they can make a Duramax edition? I did actually try a GSOTM a few years ago. I don't fancy how Omegas sit so far off the wrist with the protruding caseback. But this version is so nice, I would be willing to make an exception
