Looks like Omega will be having a great year...

With the Bond 25, this Ed White 321 and the Apollo 13 50th anniversary.
Some say this will be Omega’s answer to Rolex Daytona, hmmm....

It’s official! Ed White on stainless steel with cal 321
By: Seeks : January 7th, 2020-03:36
Looks like the first speedy for the year from Omega. I was forwarded this: 39.70 mm case in stainless steel, influenced by the same 3rd generation style that Ed White wore, features a bezel ring in polished black ceramic [ZrO2] with a tachymeter scale in ...
Fauxtina. Why fauxtina!?
By: r0gue : January 7th, 2020-03:50
I love the 321 and the Omega Speedmaster Professional. Man I wish they could have restrained the urge to add fauxtina.
I love this

For some reason I can't really explain to myself, I've never owned an Omega. This could be the model that gives me the urge to get one. Unless, of course, they are using the 321 caliber as an excuse to sell it at twice the price of the regular Speedmaster...
Oh well...
By: Boris : January 7th, 2020-06:17
...it will be a pass, then. At that price, I can think of a number of watches I would own before I got a Speedmaster.
So...which caliber do you guys prefer?
By: hoseachandra : January 7th, 2020-04:50
A caliber 321 or caliber 3861 master chronometer? Tough decision for me. The 3861 has co-axial on the robust caliber 1861 which is proven bulletproof. The 321 has the old, nostalgic charm, but I guess they are less reliable than 1861 (correct me if i'm wr...
Good question! Can’t decide 😄
By: Seeks : January 7th, 2020-05:14
Perhaps starting with 321 for nostalgia and reissues and 3861 for modern ones ? Best regards
That would be sweet. I love the current mark II
By: hoseachandra : January 20th, 2020-22:59
But always hesitate because of the thickness of caliber 3330 Dubois Depraz module. And I hope they reduce the diameter to be 39-40 mm. And retain the current bracelet (which is very smooth and comfortable)
I understand. But still....beside the historical thing,
By: hoseachandra : January 8th, 2020-01:08
I don't see any advantages of 321 in terms of technology nor reliability over the caliber 1861, let alone the 3861, which at least will have more magnetic resistance and stability rate compared to the 1861. Another thing which is subjective, is that I pre...
Yeah...
By: Seeks : January 7th, 2020-06:05
A lot of very nice competitors at that level!
Hi Z !
By: Seeks : January 7th, 2020-06:06
Sapphire crystal for this one
My pleasure, Z !
By: Seeks : January 7th, 2020-06:32
13K chf and looks like not a limited edition.. Best regards
Yes, not traditional...
By: Seeks : January 7th, 2020-06:46
Just a thought, would you have preferred hesalite on the back too?
Bravo
By: Mr.Gatsby : January 7th, 2020-06:31
Need to see this one in the flesh to confirm if I’m going to buy one. But I have to say this Speedy is The One. The Ed White is really iconic in the entire lineage in my humble opinion due to the baton hands and smaller case (39 i/o of 42). I was going to...
Many congrats in advance 😀
By: Seeks : January 7th, 2020-06:41
And it is not an LE, so we have a little bit more time to wait for see one in the flesh too. Best regards
Fantastic job on this one
By: ctzn : January 7th, 2020-06:41
Love the restraint of a simple "speedmaster" on the back. Would prefer a brushed surface along the top of the lugs, but can't deny the overall beauty of this one.
This is the ONE that I have been waiting for and probably others as well...
By: holdemchamp1225 : January 7th, 2020-08:21
I already have 2 vintage Ed Whites but due to lack of parts for servicing and trying to replace it if anything happens, I rarely wear it. This is the reason I prefer modern watches to vintage models, regardless of brand or model. With this modern re-editi...
IMHO, this modern 321 Ed White trumps ANY modern Daytona for a number of reasons which I would happily debate with any Daytona fan...
By: holdemchamp1225 : January 7th, 2020-10:32
I actually have more than a dozen Daytonas ranging from vintage (6239, 6263, 6265), Zeniths (16520), modern (116520), and ceramics (116500LN) and again there is NO comparison for me. This modern 321 trumps them all for rarity, history, quality, looks, etc...

By: amanico : January 7th, 2020-10:49
Do you also own many Omega Speedmasters then?
By: Clueless_Collector : January 7th, 2020-11:09
If Daytona’s are not as desirable, may I know why you collect this many? Don’t get me wrong, that’s an awesome list and congrats as they are all very sort after 👍🏻
The short answer is yes I have just as many Speedmaster as Daytonas...
By: holdemchamp1225 : January 7th, 2020-11:22
The long answer is more complicated and I could discuss it with you in private if you like as I do not know if it is appropriate to do so here 🤷♂️ I would like to make one correction. I never said that the Daytona was less collectible than a Speedmaster....
Maybe but...
By: holdemchamp1225 : January 7th, 2020-11:49
if we sit back and think about this a moment we can make a better assessment. Rolex has been producing their 4130 caliber since 2000. So we can say they probably made anywhere from 20,000 - 25,000 caliber 4130s per year (SS and PM models). Now multiply th...
Still trying to process this one..
By: Echi : January 7th, 2020-19:20
Initially I thought it had the makings of being Omega's version of the Daytona. Then I realized it did not. There is a single mindedness to the Daytona catalog that is absent in the Speedmaster. There is no lower priced version of the Daytona with a less ...
For me: 100% top watch, who knows already the best watch of 2020
By: ambel : January 7th, 2020-22:26
39,8mm Beautiful vintage rendition But most of all: amazing calibre 321 Everyone agrees that this reference is the most anticipated Speedmaster of the last decade(s) Only discussion topic is the price range. Let's not forget that the Apollo 50th anniversa...
It looks awesome !!
By: DrStrong : January 10th, 2020-22:40
I had heard that Omega would only use the 321 for gold watches....but that re-issue is a brilliant idea !
