Stainless steel 321 Speedmaster will be the Ed White!

Ref. 311.30.40.30.01.001

“Almost” perfect vintage 39.7mm size (wish it were 38.6mm), sapphire crystals, black step dial and ceramic DON bezel

Gorgeous and well done! It’s clear Omega listened to the community of enthusiasts. I hope to add one to the collection when they’re available.

Pretty nice. I expect it will be over $10k though. I’m holding for the 3861 update.

If the water resistance is 100m then they’ve created my dream Speedy. But I doubt it.

Exciting times!

An interesting snippet from the 321 platinum release from HODINKEE was that they expect 321 movement production to be around 2000 per year. If that production figure is the total of all 321 movements (and not just that of the platinum) then this thing will be a fortune.

Interestingly though, this movement is the 321b and not ‘321’ which is in the platinum. I’ll eagerly await the official release.

I’m surprised SS came out so soon, thought Omega would try to milk it with PM for a while.

My local dealer contact just text me the Omega link. This thing looks amazing! I’m somewhat nervous over the price but I almost feel I’d go for one regardless of the price. It looks that good!

They updated everything, might as well have upgraded to 100m wr. Oh well.

I think I still prefer the speedy pro.

Stainless steel 321 Speedmaster will be the Ed White!

I’m getting one of these. Perfect size, looks awesome. I love my A11 and this one looks even better as I prefer my watches around 40mm. Registered my interest at my AD where I’ll supposedly get the first one.

Very steep. I could get a Sub Date and a Hesalite Speedie for that price.
