Spoiler Alert: 50th Anniversary Steel Speedy Details Leaked

Looks like Deployant jumped the gun on the embargo. A lot of what we already knew. Looking forward to seeing it early morning.

I believe it’s been 42mm since 1966.

Looks great I think. The amount is gold is just right to give a nice contrast and the bracelet looks great I'm what appears to be some sort of darker hue?

In the back of my mind I think I was hoping to be disappointed so I would be off the hook for the $10k.. Good news though is I have some time before delivery to come up with a good story/palatable price point to tell the wife....

Too bad it doesn't have lumed bezel. Otherwise, pretty solid(if expensive) offering.

Those were my exact thoughts. Not normally a fan of two-tone, but this is so perfect. Looks like the bracelet is same as the 60th Anniversary Trilogy, although slightly larger lug width. So it will have the old Omega logo as on the dial, and I guess an adjustable clasp as well.

Anybody else notice the drop second hand, DON and applied logo.
Just wish it had a hesalite crystal with the Omega logo on the underside.
But I'm keeping mine anyway.
Even the bracelet has the Omega logo on it like the 105.012-65.
I think they did a nice job.

I am sure they will sell like hot cakes

But 6969 pieces are not really limited per say ... that's a lot of production. But of course, Omega probably expect to sell every single piece of them. So why not. :p

A couple of the more recent speedys have had some of those details. Makes you wonder if they'll start being the standard again, or just for special editions.

I just placed a full deposit on one. Was told it can take 3 to 6 months. Really hoping it shows up for my birthday.

This watch checks all the marks for me in terms of the dial, movement and overall design. Cant wait to get it.
