Moonshine Pleasure...
After spending a short time with my "Moonshine” Speedmaster, I wanted to share some thoughts with you.
The first thing that strikes you is just how beautiful the “light” gold is, personally I find it mesmerising.
The new alloy uses additional palladium as a solution to discolouration that can occur in 18k yellow gold.
This is certainly not a light watch on the wrist and all the better for it in my opinion, yet the bracelet has all the charm of a vintage piece and that clasp, simply perfect.

Hi Volker...
I will do a more detailed post in a few days but this should be of help ...
Thank you for the input!
Mine is about to arrive and I am very anxious. How would you rate it against a Daytona gold in terms of wrist fit and mass? Is the bracelet a vintage look and modern execution or it is vintage both?
I did!
Thank you for the tip!!! I think I will have it in a couple of days. With many thanks, Radu
Don’t give it a second thought....
I’ve been collecting Rolex modern and vintage for years and they are great watches. This watch is special in its own way, it’s not trying to mirror the Daytona.
I know
My curiosity is related to the fit of 42 mm vs 40 mm and the bracelet construction. I hope for the Omega to have only the vintage look, not the vintage feel and construction.
Yours will make four Moonshines in our Omega community . . .
. . . which semi-officially makes it a community watch.
Thanks for sharing...
anxiously waiting for mine to arrive as well to accompany her SS sister
