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 that by 20 years and you will know how many caliber 4130 Daytonas were made. My rough estimation would be 20,000 x 20 (years)=400,000 Daytona 4130 calibers.
Omega has already stated they will make a MAXIMUM of 2000 caliber 321 in their new facility. That will be divided into platinum, SS, and possibly gold models.
Now think about how many Speedmaster fans there are and how many have been waiting for a modern 321 which has not been produced for 50 years. I don't know about you BUT that seems like ALOT 😁
Even if Omega decides to use ALL 2000 caliber 321 movements for this SS model, that is NOTHING in comparison to the number of Daytonas made or that exist. Imagine the worldwide demand for this SS 321 Speedmaster if ONLY 2000 are made per year?
I am trying to be unbiased about this but logic tells me it is as clear as day 🤷♂️
We are talking about a legendary and historically significant reference with an historically significant movement with modern tech and warranty capabilities.
For me, it is like combining a Patek 5070 (caliber) in a modern day SS sports watch with the heritage of a Speedmaster. Again this is an historically significant lateral clutch column wheel movement made with modern tech in a SS modern sports watch.
I don't think that exists anywhere else 🤷♂️
