Hi. I am sitting by the phone waiting for the call from my AD to tell me my new Speedy Co-axial Chronogrph has finally arrived.
Has any one here had theirs arrive yet ? I am so looking forward to seeing and owning this watch as I purchased it really from just a photograph. Bit nervious though now waiting ......

Looks like a nice Watch!

Is it still 42mm? What's the price on this, if you don't mind me asking.

Dream99 · 24 September 2011, 02:01 AM

Hi Simon. This Speedy is on a 44.25mm case and has the Omega caliber 9300 movement with a sapphire Crystal case back, Cost was RRP £5300, but managed to get 15% off as I deal with My AD a lot

Hammer · 24 September 2011, 03:29 AM

Cheers, Alan.

Look forward to pics when it arrives.

Nice!

ratty · 25 September 2011, 02:51 AM

Is this the one which comes with the wood box, tools and extra bracelet?

I saw one in person at an AD in Oslo two weeks ago. It is a beautiful watch!

That was the Speedmaster 50th Anniversary that came out in 2007, an absolutely stunning piece, I might add! This is a brand new one, one of two models showcasing the new cal. 9300 chronograph movement, the other being the new Planet Ocean Chrono. I had the chance to try one on the other day, it's absolutely gorgeous, the boxed display case back is really unusual

Very nice, Congrats.

FeelingTheBlues · 25 September 2011, 05:41 AM

Great! Now nobody will be able to sleep before you get it!

...Thank you and enjoy it!

asadtiger · 25 September 2011, 06:49 AM

LOL @ what Carl said :)

many congrats Alan on the acquisition of this new generation Speedie...it carries classic looks in a modern age...you already have one of my grail Omegas (the PO Gold) and after acquiring this, you will have my grail modern Omega combo

Dream99 · 25 September 2011, 08:16 AM

Thank you everyone who wrote in this post. I am afraid I have had no phone call from my AD to tell me it is in yet, hopefully I will do next week. I will post actual photos of the watch ASAP after I get it, till then more sleepless nights I guess (but I would not have it any other way, I love the feeling of anticipation waiting for a new arrival)

OK thanks for this.

I think there is a local dealership which still has a new one of these, what do you think a good price would be for it bearing in mind it is now quite old for 'new stock'? (I think the ref no is 311.33.42.50.01.001)

Thanks again.

It's cool they put the new movement in it, but why only 2 subdials?! Kills the classic Speedmaster look.

siewmaiwatch · 8 October 2011, 05:52 PM

looks awesome with that black leather bracelet!

Because it doesn't need 3 dials anymore? The previous stopped hours at 6 and minutes at 3 are now combined at the 3 o'clock position, which also allows the date to be moved from the much dreaded 4:30 to 6 o'clock position. What you get is a less busy, cleaner dial. I like it.

Dream99 · 10 October 2011, 03:11 PM

I am still waiting for the phone call to say it has arrived at my AD, I am getting a little impatient now. AD Say it's expected around mid October, so I still have not seen this watch yet, only in the photos on Omega web page.

Unfortunately, the new watches have been slow to come through so far. I believe that the dedicated boutiques have priority right now. Of the new models, we've had a lady's PO, the Olympic Aqua Terra Chrono, and a couple of new variants with Constellation and the regular Aqua Terra. No word on the new Speedmasters, though

I prefer the traditional 3 sub dials.

Great looking watch. Will look forward to seeing it in the flesh!!

I like the clean and easy to read two dial look!

Same here. Call me crazy, but when I think of chronographs I think of 3 subdials.
