This heavyweight is more impressive than I thought!

Yesterday I stop by the Omega Boutique to see and learn first hand how the distribution of the new Ed White will go...
After a very informative conversation with the sales representative, I learned that the first batch will go to the V.I.P. clients with above $20K purchase history, but also that the waiting list is not as long as expected, so far...
At the end of our chat I enquired about the Platinum model and if they have one in stock.
To my biggest surprise they had one just sold, waiting to be picked up.
As you can imagine, I asked if I can see it, and boom the watch was there!



The phone pictures don’t do this piece justice!
The heavy case is impressive.



The meteorite subdial details and the change in color from light to dark are also a very nice touch that clearly expresses the space related history .



Unfortunately no movement shots because the stickers were on .
Apologies for the poor pictures, but that’s the best I could do with my phone.
Hope you enjoy...

Zsolt.

Milked

I’m a big fan of the moonwatch but sometimes I wonder: haven’t they milked it enough by now? Somehow a Speedmaster in platinum with meteorite subdials seems bit far stretched. But then again when I look at the pictures I go; wow.

I completely share your view, the milking that is.

It’s somewhat sad, that such legendary watch has been deluded. I like the Speedy but not all commemorative editions. But this one I feel, is really done right. Thank you for your input dear Jurry!

Thank you my dear friend.

I find the weight acceptable, top heavy, kind of like the Datograph... Not as wobbly dough. I can easily pull this one off.😜

thanks Z for the info and pictures !

. . . will never see in the metal. I suspect that if I had ready means at my disposal, this reference would be an impulse buy. ;-)

I’m with you on this one.
