I agree, just horrible. If the dial was case back engravings it could be cool, but as the dial...terrible...

Also anyone else get error wean trying to enter the Omega website?

This is the worst looking speedy that Omega had produced. However, one man's poison could be another man's meat.....

This watch looks terrible in pictures but I still want to see it in real life - it's just so far out there.

I'm more concerned by the fact that it looks almost useless as a device to tell the time. I don't necessarily mind an ugly watch (I love the PloProf, for example), but I think Omega are really scraping the bottom of the Limited Edition barrel now. They should do everyone a favour and cut down on them a bit

Actually I don't think it looks that bad. I would get a seizure trying to figure out the chrono time.

I can't imagine this being anything other than a safe queen.

Maybe they set out to make a watch that was slightly less legible than a black dial Daytona - I'd have to see it in person to decide which watch is less useful for actually seeing the time.

that, I for a change, looks pretty cool..it is not very readable, it is not very functional, but it sure is cool and celebrates/comemorates something well

@ Jason, I really want to see your awesome collection of Speedies as shown in your signature :)
