Have to say I also think it looks great. Any guess as to price?
Well, it was announced on Twatter, so here's a Twatter-style reply:
@Omegawatches lol OMGZ ha ha yeah WANT!!. Just enjoyed a nice poo
I like the new MkII, but not so much its price given that the movement is basically a coax 7750.
...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!
Sounds ok.. I like the look of it.. doubt I will like the price :)
"Distinguishing the new Speedmaster Mark II from the 1969 watch that inspired it is the Co-Axial calibre 3330, a self-winding movement equipped with an Si14 silicon balance spring and a column-wheel chronograph mechanism.
The new OMEGA Speedmaster Mark II is water resistant to 10 bar (100 metres / 330 feet) and is delivered with a full four-year warranty."
Ouch..
"Retail price for the Omega Speedmaster Mark II watches will be $6,250"
Oh boy, I'm getting that familiar feeling that signifies imminent damage to the old bank account.
So, any idea what the damage might be?
Edit
Missed MattH's post.

Nice. Finally they are letting the lower segment of buyers go.Originally Posted by MattH
Hmmm.... Thread unsubscribe :-)
Seems an unusual move to me. The style is very much a 70s look, which is unlikely to come back into fashion. They're swimming against the tide by releasing a new version and I question how successful it'll be. Given the price, I can`t see them jumping off the shelves.
I've never been a fan of the original; the design only works on a large wrist and it looks awful on too small a wrist. That'll rule out a proportion of potential buyers........or maybe it won`t thesedays.
A definite thumbs-down from me.

Will be interested if it will end up like the Ploprof. I like it but I am not sure it will suit modern taste or demand. I doubt it will fly out of the window, especially at that price!
What will that be here? 4kish, like the 42mm planet Ocean 8500?
