It must have been a tough decision between a revolving rocket or footprint. But I hope this makes someone very happy.

The rocket hand is a great detail 🚀

Agree with the other comment that the size will not make all potential wearers equally happy but it does wear relatively well (for me it fits better than the regular Speedy) 👍🏻

I believe the rocket is part of a new update

With a new movement too? I am far from an Omega expert, but I flirted with the original version and it did not have the rocket hand. While it is cool, I'm afraid I have to agree with the "trying too hard" sentiment.
The following comment in other forum succinctly states the obvious.

The last real limited numbered release was the Tokyo 2020 Speedmaster in 2018. Since then we've had the limited production Snoopy and the small 321 line which were refreshing but hard to get, but other than that it's been a wasteland for Speedmaster fans....
When all is said and done and the smoke clears, the takeaway . . .

. . . should be these Apollo 8 ceramics are an offshoot of the Professional, not a direct lineal descendant. They're different enough to be judged on their own merits (or lack thereof, depending on your point of view) instead of direct comparison with the...
So, only find time now, to briefly share my thoughts:

- I have a small wrist, hence the watch is too big for me - the difference to the MK1 version is too small - legibility of hours and minutes is poor - sub-dials geometry is somehow „strange“ - the price increase is steep - but: the Saturn rocket is cool! ...

The DSOM was criticized by many for poor legibility. Omega should have sorted this out! Aside from Speedmaster 57 and 321, I am really disappointed at Omega’s “toyish” designs.👎
a solid pass for me

This is soooo gimmicky...

...like Blancpain using a propeller for a rotor. I really dislike this kind of design.
In defense of Omega…

It is now in retail price parity with competing watches like the IWC Lake Tahoe, Mojave desert, etc… all of which lack the attention to detail on the movement finishing and fine polishing of the ceramic cases.
Sorry can't get behind this!

In fact the positive comments I see here is the exact reason Omega can release the same watch and raise the price. Of course you are free to think what you want but my opinion is this is pure crud!!
Oh! Look at that!

A space rocket as a second hand!
Still on the fence …

Find it too busy and too much happening . Omega over did it I guess ..& price point is ridiculous
