Tokyo Olympic Speedmaster at Ginza

The main store on the main road in Ginza, the one located in the building with all the other Swatch Group brands, has a blue and black/gold available. I bought one of the black ones, and they have one more along with three of the blue ones.

Thanks for the report. I’ll be there in July and might pick up a blue one if I can’t resist temptation.

Let’s see some pics!

You should go to the main store. It's the one on the main street in the building with all the other Swatch Group brands. When you enter the lobby, there are a bunch of kiosks for each of the brands. And each of those kiosks is actually an elevator that goes to that brand's showroom. Really neat stuff!
Super cool staff. She was digging my Grand Seiko and was super familiar with it. She told me that finding the Olympic models are hit or miss. The White dial sells immediately. She also said that the OB in Haneda seems to get Olympic models from time to time. My Japanese isn't 100%, but she said that the allocations for reservations are filled, but certain OBs still receive shipments. Not sure if it was self promotion, but she said that her OB in Ginza gets the most. There are (4) OBs in Ginza so go there first!
Good luck!

I went 2 days ago and they said only the blue Speedmaster was available. Went to the Omega store at Narita Airport and they had a Panda available!
