Reply With QuotePresumably the term "box-form sapphire crystal" means that it at least has the same raised profile as the originals plexi?
I had to look twice to believe it! They did it a true heritage model with (almost) everything exactly like the CK2998, even the case!!!!! the 19mm lugs, the DIAL, the HANDS.....sadly not the movement but at least this will make it (probably) affordable.
only big negative point, saphire crystal :(

Actually I like it.....it's not the 2998 but is a fair job!
Beautiful watch, for sure.
It is nice but surely better to get a nice vintage model? And guessing cheaper?
Hmm, I am not sure you'll find a nice straight lugs for the price these will go new....Originally Posted by Mazza
Very nice, but still prefer my vintage...
very nice looking,any idea about price?
Why is one of the hands on the subdial different to the other 2???
I suspect it is to throw the fakers off track a little since they will be working away on them as we read.
(Rolex did it a couple of years ago showing an LV Sub with drilled lugs).
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
Really like this Speedy!
I do like that.
"A man of little significance"
I was thrilled to look at it ..but on second looks... its a may be :)
Something missing but cannot say what
- the past is the past, re-editions never look 'right' IMO. I want to see new innovation/designs, don't need to harp back to the old days, if I do I would hunt an original....
Well it works for me..............now to see how much it costs.
I think I will wonder down to the Omega boutique in the Royal Exchange and see what they think.
WOW, yet another limited, special, retro, whatever speedmaster from Omega
How predictably boring.
It's nice, but how many times can you recreate the same damn thing?
Just like the SMP bond editions, ooh new film time to churn out another cheese-fest, stick on some tacky 007 rubbish, some idiot will buy it.
Very nice, it is good to have a version with sapphire for those that want it.
i like it apart from the hands. something just not right about them
Because it's the constant seconds dial. The 3 hands for reading the time are of one style, whilst the 3 for reading the chrono are a different style. They did the same with the Speedy MKII with the racing dial, where the chrono hands were orange, and the standard time hands were white.
Look again! It's STRAIGHT LUGS, 19mm Lugs......Never seen that done before!
Great, I want one. Would wear it on a nice natostrap though, not on leather.
You meant Velcro, right?
Just what version/iteration/regurgitation/special edition are we on now of this? I really do lose track...and that makes it one big tacky mess of an exercise...and a dog's dinner of a brand that is aspiring for bigger things supposedly :roll:
I like that a lot, the lugs, symmetrical case, and no crown guards. Much better than the usual annual Speedmaster limited edition snoozefest. Can't understand why they didn't opt for Hesalite though.
