New Release
Henrik, known as 'shortys home' on WatchProSite, shares his immediate impressions of a new Omega Speedmaster, a piece that captivated him instantly. His initial post, featuring striking photography, sparked a lively discussion among collectors eager to acquire this latest release. This article synthesizes the community's early reactions and insights into the watch's initial distribution.
The Omega Speedmaster Professional reference 345.0808 is a notable variant within the broader Speedmaster collection, distinguished by its specific design elements that cater to collectors seeking a particular aesthetic. This reference is recognized for its faithful adherence to historical Speedmaster proportions and its considered material choices, offering a distinct presence on the wrist that differentiates it from other contemporary Speedmaster models. Its design cues are often appreciated by those who value a more understated and historically informed presentation.
This Speedmaster Professional features a stainless steel case, measuring 42mm in diameter, a size that has become synonymous with the model line. It houses a manual-winding mechanical movement, known for its reliability and precision. The watch is fitted with a domed sapphire crystal, providing both durability and a unique visual distortion that enhances the dial's appearance. The movement offers a substantial power reserve, ensuring consistent timekeeping over an extended period.
Collectors are drawn to this reference for its specific dial and crystal combination, which contributes to its unique character. The blue-gray dial, which often appears black under various lighting conditions, provides a subtle depth and contrast with the luminous elements. This reference appeals to enthusiasts who appreciate the nuanced differences between Speedmaster iterations and seek a piece that combines historical accuracy with modern wearability.
Would like to have a closer look at the dial when I visit the boutique 😁
Its good that Omega made sure some quantities of this watch were available at points of sale right after the unveiling.
A smash surprise offering by omega 👍
. . . of a new community watch. 👏🏼
Is the minute hand a litte tough to read or no problems?
Beautiful and very convincing watch. Enjoy it in the best of health. Went to the boutique here in Singapore yesterday, but unfortunately they don't have it yet and won't have it for another few weeks. Told me that retailers will have it only in a few months. Seems strange to me that Omega would decide on a very different distribution strategy...
