My opinion is that this was a minimum effort on the part of Omega.  Ok, that's not the problem for me.  But it could have been a real crowd-pleaser IMHO if they went the route of the Apollo-Soyuz Speedmaster special edition from the late 1970s.  In lieu of the Speedmaster badging on the dial replace it with the French flag.  Keep everything else on the dial "sterile".  Now that would have driven the Speedy fans nutz.

Exactly one year ago, some people of the RAID ( the french equivalent of the SWAT ), a few friends and Antoine De Macedo ( one of the most famous watch shop in Paris ) had a trip in Bienne to meet the Omega Team for a project around a special Speedmaster ...  

I would buy one just for the seconds hand ...

It's nice touch with the colors of France's flag

B&R I think did something too for RAID? Maybe if the steel was treated into gun metal or darker tone, it'd be a killer!

My reaction . . . WAY cool!

The small bits of color are a welcome addition to the dial.

Firstly, I like the coloured details on the hands....

...and the back of the case is very nicely done. However, I’m always a bit dubious about these “Special Editions” which Omega seems to offer almost weekly and in this case it’s just a Speedie with a bit of colour and a different back. Also, I wonder if th...

Posts like these drive me crazy. I still need to add a regular speedmaster which I can wear on a nato or suede strap. And this looks so good and different (obviously).

Both I guess? Something vintage or just a regular new one.

Looks cool...
