Band: Black Fabric (NATOs & Unworn Bracelet in Box) Clasp: Steel Pin Buckle Glass: Sapphire crystal Water Resistant: 5 Bar/50 m (Splash Proof) In January 2020, Omega put the calibre 321 back into a steel Speedmaster for the first time since the late 1960s.

The polished black ceramic bezel has a white enamel tachymeter scale, complete with the dot over ninety. It is currently fitted to a black strap that fastens with a pin buckle. The unworn steel bracelet with its deployant clasp is included, along with NATO straps. The hand-wound calibre 321 is…
