I sense a new community watch in the making. I like it but will probably wait it out..
The only Omega that had me making a reservation was the Railmaster 60th. If that was a white dial manual wind ranchero, I’d be putting my name down with an AD pronto. Having said that, I am mightily tempted with this one. Never say never 
Speedmaster “White” Launched !
Give us your thoughts on this new version .. Ref 310.30.42.50.04.001 Best regards Captain ...
Agreed
The draw of the Canopus is not the dial, although the silvery dial is definitely an allure. The Canopus is about having an icon in PM and flies under the radar.
One thing I have lusted for a while is a good white dial watch.
White, not silver. This is it. I love it!
Looks great
If I didn't get a white dial exp2 last week I'd definitely consider this instead.
Yes and I particularly like the design details …
And …. Lots of fun with strap choices 😉
I'm drawn to the white dial
Comparing to other white dial versions, this appears to be a bright white vs silver or cream. I like the bolder text on the sundials and the splash of red and ?orange on the seconds brings in other variations we've seen. ...
Is the higher msrp due to a lacquer dial? Or porcelain?
I need to see it live in person.
🙏🙏☺️☺️☺️. Already …
… put my order at hhe local Boutique. Of course considering where I live it will take a few months to arrive. I learned to be patient! I really loved the looks of this new version. Best cordial regards my dear friend!! Abel
Thank you Captain! Yes, I will take it with the bracelet.
Then I will have the chance to try it with straps but always will have the bracelet for the change again. Usually to buy the bracelet is more costly as an accessory afterwards. What about you?? Are you considering getting one too?
Definitely with the bracelet …
Slightly annoying situation, the watch is sitting in the Boutique safe waiting for me to collect 😎 🏝️🍦
Wow dear Captain!! Good news!! That’s really fast!!
Look forward to your post sharing yiur first impressions and photos!! Big congrats!!💪💪👏👏👏👏
Heck yes! I am go-for-launch on this one.
Damn this website, Vladding its own all the time!! ;-)
It is much more fun to Vlad someone than to be Vladded!!
The Captain got me this time...
I like it, Captain...
Would prefer hesalite, but the sandwich view of the movement is quite nice. Probably couldn't help myself if I wandered into a shop on the right day.
Anybody else here think a ceramic bezel would've been a better choice?
This is a sapphire sandwich with a shiny lacquer dial anyway so why not include a ceramic bezel at this price point?
Personally, I prefer the aluminium bezel …
It’s not about the money, it’s about the way it will age and the patina it will collect over the years of ownership.
Oh, I thought this was a ceramic bezel.
Will need to be a little more careful then since a scuffed bezel will bother me to no end.
So, first: I am quite happy with my "Albino" 1997 first ever serial (500 pieces) white dial speedmaster. Second ....
.... and this is a nice anecdote: I was invited by Omega in January (2024) and whilst touring the production site in the factory we entered the room, where they test water-proofness of the watches. And whilst we were standing there, the young lady in char...
Love the pkcture. But others I've seen it seems to be less impressive.
Perhaps I was seeing a different version. I guess I'd need to see it in the wild.
Pretty damn cool.
My favorite is still the 35th Anniversary Apollo-Soyuz from 2010, but that one's now ridiculously marked-up. I'm waiting for another meteorite dial version, maybe next year........
I has a touch of porcelain, and is a different animal than the classic one for sure
looks more upmarket, and hence could be a more 'suited' option for the week
This comment of yours had me thinking about that lacquer dial specifically on how it looks on the white dial SMP300..
Which I can’t say I’m a big fan of and would have preferred a matte dial with a fine grain on this speedy as well. We’ll see.
I like it very much in the pictures.
But I will reserve my opinion until I can see at a shop. White dials can be tricky on sports watches.

If I were to buy a Speedy, it would be exactly this model!
But am I the only one who would be even more excited about a ceramic bezel (instead of the offered aluminum) and 100m water resistance for a sports watch (instead of the offered 50m)? 🙏 All the best Thomas
One trifling upside: owners of Italian whites . . .
. . . (ref 3593.20) can now reliably replace five out six hands during service at Omega. ...
