Amanico's post offers a rare side-by-side look at two distinctive Omega Speedmaster models: the 'Ultraman' and the yellow gold 'Moonshine' edition. His initial impressions highlight the surprising wearability of the weighty gold model, setting the stage for community discussion on these highly sought-after Speedmasters. This comparison provides valuable insights for collectors considering either of these unique references.

I finally could see two of them, the Ultraman, and the latest YG.

Thanks to their owner, our dear Holdenchamp.

The weight of the yellow gold is impressive, but once on the wrist, it is ok. Even better, comfortable.

Best,

Nicolas

Key Points from the Discussion

The Moonshine Speedmaster is a truly impressive watch, with its unique gold alloy offering a distinct aesthetic compared to traditional yellow gold.
The yellow gold used in the Moonshine Speedmaster appears to have a less intense yellow hue compared to other brands like Rolex, possibly influenced by the bezel color.
There is a keen interest in the real-world performance of the Caliber 3861 movement in these Speedmasters, beyond controlled timing machine results.
The owner of the Moonshine Speedmaster committed to a multi-day wear test to provide feedback on the Caliber 3861's on-wrist performance.
Several community members shared their own 'Speedy Tuesday' wristshots, showcasing various Speedmaster models and celebrating the tradition.

It seems to be a much different YG than a Rolex for example, less yellow by far. Or perhaps it’s just the bezel colour which changes everything and makes it seems less yellow overall.
