Fratello Watches is a popular Watch Blog. Founder Robert-Jan Broer, a big Speedmaster fan, arbitrarily came up with the Social-Networking hashtag #SpeedyTuesday one fine Tuesday (while wearing his Speedmaster, naturally). Others soon followed suite.

Soon thereafter, Robert-Jan also started writing a weekly blog-entry (published on Tuesdays) with the same title. They have been been doing so since 2012 and the Omega Speedmaster "Speedy Tuesday" Limited Edition (311.32.42.30.01.001) was a collaboration to celebrate the five-year anniversary of the Speedy-Tuesday Blog and its massive following

From the man himself:
"Since 2012, we have written almost 250 Speedy Tuesday articles to date and the #SpeedyTuesday tag has been used over 41.000 times on Instagram by the Speedmaster community. For the 5th anniversary, we were thrilled that OMEGA took this inspiration to create the Speedmaster Professional Speedy Tuesday limited Edition."



p.s. And guess what ...it's #speedytuesday!
