About this watch

For your consideration is this Omega Speedmaster #SpeedyTuesday first edition series, the one that started the #SpeedyTuesday cultural phenomenon. Only 2,012 pieces were made and they all sold out instantly upon release. The watch is modelled after the iconic "Moonwatch", but a number of design touches that make it truly stand out. The most obvious of course is the "reverse panda" colourscheme and sub-dial design based on the original Alaska III piece for which it commemorates, both of which are features collectors have been begging the brand to bring back for decades. The watch features an all matte finish on the case, case-back, bezel, hands, crown and even the chronograph pushers, which is a rarity in the Speedmaster world. There are no shiny facets here - and the result is Speedmaster with a super cool titanium-like appearance. The case-back is engraved with the watch's limited edition number and the words "SPEEDY TUESDAY ANNIVERSARY - A TRIBUTE TO ALASKA PROJECT III". The watch is fitted on an Omega brown calf leather strap and comes with an additional black/white stripe NATO strap produced specifically for this watch.
