Don't get me wrong. The 311.33.40.30.02.001 is a beautiful watch and I would not mind having one but the FOIS more closely resembles the original CK2998.

Maybe Omega needed an excuse for another in the seemingly endless progression of Speedy LEs which allows them to use up some of the 39.7mm cases.

My other criticism applies to the horrendous hobnail design of the case back which originated with the FOIS case back:

The design of the pre-moon case back would have been more appropriate and much cleaner. It was a pre-moon back that I customized for my FOIS to commemorate Schirra's Sigma 7 Mercury flight:

Again, I love the 311.33.40.30.02.001 but the purist in me had to get this off my chest.
