Omega Speedmaster Tokyo 2020 Rising Sun. Any opinions on this model?
Limited Edition of 2020. I'm about to order but thought I'd get some expert opinion. I'm fed up waiting for the snoopy and this may fill the gap. I've one other omega a 176.007, had PO but felt too big for my wrist, so let it go. All my recent watches are sporty therefore dress is out of favour for now. I have really like this dial colour and pitting since its release. it's based on the old 1861 calibre. I'm sure it's good? Last years release of the new Moonwatch seems the obvious choice with the new 3861 calibre and open back case but the black dial doesn't do it for me. I tried it on and was very impressed with the bracelet, best I'd come across in while. Does anyone know if that bracelet is the same as the one on the Tokyo model? All opinions welcome. Cheers S
There are a few owners here including Fernando . . .
. . . so you'll be in good company should you decide in its favor. My favorite Speedmaster of all is also one of the uncommon white dial versions, albeit considerably older.
These images were originally posted on this website five years ago by cameraclock on our Collectors Market forum. White gold case, silver white dial, and chronometer-rated cal 864 movement.
The ultimate, in my humble opinion.

Out of my league, too! . . .
. . . and to think I had the opportunity of getting #10 with the white gold bracelet fourteen years ago, but passed.

My opinion, favourite Speedy of the last several years.
This is a wrist shot from late 2019 in Tokyo. I loved it. And I planned to buy it, but wanted to do so when i was back in Tokyo for the Olympics several months later. That didn’t happen !
I think it’s all about the dial (and bezel in this case).
I should add I ignored the bracelet so can’t comment, for me I’d have switched to a strap immediately.
I haven't had th chance to try on but based on your superb taste in watches I'll take your word thanks for the info Jay cheers S
Oh boy, that’s a lot of weight to carry.
Everyone was after the panda dial, which makes sense given the hype / interest in the Mitsukoshi Speedy. And honestly that would have been my choice too if it was easily found. But of the rest, which were all available when I went to see them, this one is clearly the most attractive and in the metal (with that dial) a more interesting watch.
Good luck with the decision. Definitely beats an open-ended wait for the Snoopy !

No weight too carry at all Jay. I was 99% there. Good to here positive comments on the watch.
Panda looks good but crazy prices now. I hesitated on the Alaska project a few years ago and it's doubled! I'll post the photos when it arrives. Cheers S
My thoughts are …
The Tokyo Rising Sun looks very cool.
It’s obviously very much a personal choice. Have you had the opportunity to try it on your wrist ?
No haven't had the chance and I've taken for others only to be disappointed when worn. I've a feeling this one won't do that cheers Cpr
Just looking at the photos, the bracelet does not appear to be the new Coaxial bracelet.
Great version
You can put the current bracelet or the 50th anniv bracelet, and it becomes simply great
I fell in love with this version of the Speedmaster
and couldn’t get it out of my head. I ended up buying it brand new out of Japan. It was a great transaction and the watch is beautiful. I think it’s a great choice as evidenced by my own purchase. Good luck!
If you think this is a great choice knowing your collection Ed that's a definite go for me then. Cheers S
Will do Nico. Based on the you and the other opinions my choice was on the ball. Cheers S
Oh yes! And it is funny to see that it is a 2020 Olympic game which was held in 2021. With time passing, we'll laugh at that.
One of the nicest Speedmasters IMO.
It comes with the older bracelet but is interchangeable with the newer one as someone mentioned.
Your Speedy looks super Fernando. Great photo. Watch is ordered and I'll post some photos. Cheers S PS HK is watch heaven. Nothing which can't be seen or tried on. Best spot I ever visited for watches. Enjoy the browsing.
The watch is likely the best of the Olympic serie.
But it houses the old movement and bracelets.
Yet is a true limited edition and the price is still fairly affordable.
The new moon with sapphire sandwich is scheduled to land at my house next week, I opted for the new one because of the the co-axial movement (METAS certified) and the new bracelet, which has been recognized extremely comfortable.

Congrats on the incoming. The 3861 is for sure better. Lots of upgrades. Its a pity this model was too early for the new movement and bracelet. For me the visual won over the technicals. Either way we both will have superb watches. Enjoy yours. Cheers S
I'm waiting for being able to travel back to Japan
It's definitely the Speedy land 😎😎😎
The rising Sun is superb, I've chosen the new model only because here it's still cheaper... Never liked to pay extra money 💸
