From Basel 2018, weighing in at half a kilogram (!!), baguette diamond/ruby/emerald hour markers, solid platinum case... all for £51,000-£56,000 depending on the variant (the emeralds of the green watch make this one the most expensive at £56k, whilst the other two with either the diamond or ruby markers are cheaper at £51k).
A full write up with quality photos available on Fratello Watches HERE.
They aren’t on the Omega website yet, but THIS VERSION (below) is, at £36,000;
The three variants of the first platinum version;
Emerald;
Ruby;
Diamond;

As a man who generally derides all versions of the speedmaster other than the "moonwatch" and most watches with gemstone markers, l find myself liking these offerings.
If you're going to get a watch in a white precious metal then that's certainly the metal to go for and lm even going to contradict my usual disdain for magnification devices on watches and say that the one on the subdial is extremely tastefully done...
...what case diameter?
Edit:- The modern Omega curse strikes again - one big deal-breaker - it's the size of a bin lid... :(

Ye well nice. But £55k - just a bit bonkers really. Steel version would be a bestseller I think.

That’s Platona money. No thanks.
The magnifier on the date hand is just fantastic though - really nice touch that, and well executed.
Can't put my finger on it, but just doesn't look right. Even if it were a 5K steel version. Think the speedy speculators will be giving this one a miss.
Only useful for half the dates - doesn't help when it's over the dot (even dates) as on the green one.
You’re right - it actually makes it much harder and you have to look several days either side and then calculate from there.
Incredible, hadn't seen those before. They'll be low volume for sure.
The blue is a lovey looking watch. Agree with above, SS version would have been excellent

I asked Robert (fratello) the weight. 500g in platinum on the bracelet
I’m not one for Omega really, but these are rather nice, but!
For that money I think I would rather go for a pm Patek, probably a bit more though. The residuals on the Omega are going to be shocking, but then if you can afford 50+k it’s not really a thought I guess.
wtf?
every other day you get magnified dot with obscured numerals?
reminds me of this Panerai design failure - in March hand obscures date window.
Agree: big, heavy, bejewelled, very expensive... lots not going for them.
That date indicator does look nice though - might not be perfect but the idea is spot on.

Lovely looking watch but another pointless one from omega
I really like them bar the size, too big. 39mm would be much better.
And shave £40k - £50k off the price :)
Very nice, but would anyone really spend £50k+ on a Speedy. I had the SS Black dial on a bracelet with the NASA moonshot with footprint on it. They tend to trade around the low £6k mark, you can even pick them up from WF at that sort of money. Sold it on here.
I'm sure it's going to be a roaring success considering it's more expensive than a platinum Daytona
Those close-ups certainly don't do it any favours. You’d think that they’d be able to fit a less-cheap-looking handset for that kind of money.
The blue one looks nice. I hope they managed to build it to a higher standard of finish that the usual speedmasters, but I suspect not.
At least one isn't the color of poop.
I know it’s quite an old thread, but I’ve just been looking through it and I can’t work out what the other hand on the date display is for (short, dark colour).wtf?

I half expected to see someone else raise it, but no....
Can anyone enlighten me?
Agreed on the poor design of the magnifier over the dots... looks good until you see the issue!
Isn't it the usual seconds?
Wow the blue is a lovely looking watch!
Could it be the month indicator?
Could be actually. The centre part of the date display is divided in to 12 segments. Not very easy to use though, so again not great design...
Could be that too!! I guess a video would soon tell us, rather than a still shot.
Month would make more sense, but some odd design choices going on here 😀
This makes me think to much.... and I thought a Navitimer had peaked on that front!Could be that too!! I guess a video would soon tell us, rather than a still shot.

£50k buys a lot of much more interesting things than that. Pass
