Omega Speedmaster Tokyo 2020 Blue Hands-On

The Omega Speedmaster Tokyo 2020 Rising Sun, reference 522.30.42.30.04.001, is one of six limited edition Speedmaster Professional chronographs released to commemorate the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. This particular model stands out with its white dial and red accents, drawing inspiration from the Japanese flag. It was part of a series that included five steel models and one in gold, each with distinct dial configurations.

This Speedmaster features a 42mm stainless steel case with a polished and brushed finish, characteristic of the Moonwatch line. It houses the manual-winding Omega Calibre 1861, a cam-actuated chronograph movement with a 48-hour power reserve. The watch is fitted with a stainless steel bracelet and a tachymeter scale on the bezel. The caseback is engraved with the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games emblem.

As a limited edition of 2020 pieces, the Rising Sun model holds particular interest for collectors due to its specific aesthetic and association with the Olympic Games. Its white dial offers a departure from the traditional black Speedmaster, making it a distinctive piece within the broader Speedmaster Professional lineage. The use of the Calibre 1861 also positions it as a classic Speedmaster iteration, appealing to those who appreciate the historical movement.
