Bi-Color Speedmaster Moonwatch

Not sure what to think, but I think I like them better than the white dial at least. Would be nice to see them in person. I did like the full gold Moonshine in person very much.

In both Moonshine and Sedna gold:

Interesting. I like the dials but for some reason the TT bracelet is not doing it for me. Looks sort of odd for some reason.

Yeah , I think real world pictures look better than the website photos (never understood why watch companies do that). I bet they look incredible in person.

I don’t know but it seems like Omega is milking these SpeedMasters in every possible way ��

The moonshine gold with the silver dial looks really nice. The sedna one just doesn't seem to work for some reason. Also think they should have gone with black hands. Sedna gold hands on a sedna gold dial is going to cause some legibility issues I bet.

Not for me. Also dont understand their pricing strategy (… well i do, but surely limiting the pool of potential buyers, same for the full sedna gold)

I think the center links being full gold down the middle is what's throwing the bracelet off. I prefer the Seamaster 300 Diver two tone bracelet where the gold is just an accent vs being a whole center link.

I actually have a problem with the Sedna gold for the same reason...but reserve judgement til I see it in person....I like the Mooonshine alot except.I think they need some more black somewhere on the dial, the ceramic bezel is standing out too much to my eyes....

I think your right, would like nice to see the bracelet with just accent gold on the small links....and it would have been a nice touch to make the Omega logo on the clasp gold as well (leave the rest of the clasp steel though!)

Not sure if I'm a fan. I like the black dial with sedna gold much better for a two tone.

Yeah, that one is pretty great. If only... I also like the full Moonshine Panda dial. I've tried these both on in person and they were stunning.

I wish there was an option to get these on strap with a SS deployant instead of having to buy the two tone bracelet. Both of these would probably look much better on a black gatorskin or rubber strap.

Not my cup of tea. I prefer Seamaster Diver 300 in two tone but Speedy should stay in full SS or gold

Are these watches limited production?

You mean like Rolex? With who knows how many daydate or datejust combos? Or with 4 different SS GMT, 2 rolessor and 3 PM? Or AP built off the Royal Oak line? Omega is not unique in this regard.

Damn, I like that Sedna one.

But would have a hard time dropping that kind of money on a new one.

Looking forward to trying them on. The Sedna dial colour looks great but agree legibility may be an issue.
A decent release i would say.

Same, I prefer the Moonshine and silver dial (I think).

Yeah, that's my thought, too. I could understand $4-ish, but $10 has me scratching my head. Good work if you can get it, I suppose.

Normally I go for red gold over yellow, but that Moonshine model looks nice to me.

My prediction is these will flop.

The YG for me. Not a buyer at retail and it will be interesting to see these in a few years as I do not believe these will be a big seller. Pre-owned at 10k I might get one.

If these get to $10K used I'm right there with you William

But at $18K ... yikes not a chance

Well, I missed the opportunity to see them today. I confirmed with my OB sales associate through text just now, that they are there, and I was near there (literally a short walk away) for work this morning. But Omega opens at 11:00 and I was done at 10 and ready to get home (up at 4 am). I should have waited around.

Missed opportunity. Oh well, next time.

Bruce did a nice review of the moonshine version. It's a pretty watch.
