Called into Berry's in Leeds to sort out another issue and by a trove of luck they had the latest Omega models in as part of the tour.
Snoopy was nice but not for me, a bit too quirky, But I loved the dark Side of The Moon Vintage Black. My first experience of a ceramic and I was surprised how light it was. Not sure I could ever stretch to the £8200.00 price tag but is was lovely.

nope, nope, nope
It's a no from me too. A more modern, 21st century watch (ceramic, black, large, thick, expensive, noticeable) I cannot think of and yet it has this pretend old lume because - and only because - it's "in fashion". A watch like this needs something bright, clear and high-tech. Like putting wire wheels on a BMW i8!
...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!
His many Speedmaster versions have Omega released recently?! It has to be a new one every month - the edge of the dark side of the dimple in the moon, the backside of the lunar eclipse, the underneath of the edge of the bit of moon made of cheese........
I do like that.
Love that, but £8200! That's a lot of money for what it is.
Glad it's not just me!!Originally Posted by apm101
I like the watch but don't think the strap suits it. Not keen on the price either!
+1 nope
Agree with that.
Think i will stick with the my original DSOTM and my 145-012 speedy
I like it a lot, but it's the new Speedy '57 with Broad Arrow hands I'm in love with:
They had that too, a very polished finish and quite deep with the display back. Felt big on the wrist to me. Liked it though.I like it a lot, but it's the new Speedy '57 with Broad Arrow hands I'm in love with:
8200 ,I think that's mad
Omega have jumped the shark with that one
I like it but prefer the original DSOTM and £8200 = ouch and why?
Cheers for the info! It's the depth I'm concerned about, so it sounds like I won't be buying one unfortunately.
Do they throw in a piece of moon-rock for the money?!

By far the nicest modern speedmaster available.
With my eyesight, I'd struggle to tell which way up that was, let alone read the time.
I do like the bronzed effect though
I must say I like it, but £2-3k like it not £8k like it. Ouch
AS many have said, too expensive and what is Omega doing with the good old "Moon" watch?
I like it in some ways but not at that price.
Not at all for me. I was surprised when Bell & Ross started faking the vintage lume, but I really thought Omega would be above it. Sorry, but at risk of complaint I think it looks like a £400 Steinhart.
fully agree. why so expensive again?
Why are all the current LE 2 register edition called something, something Moon, they have no link to the space program or the moon-watch except for have the same model parent name.
It's all just cynical marketing fluff and matching high price tag.
I would assume 'Moonwatch' is now linked to the style, not just space missions...
Omega has already tried it with the vintage-y Seamaster, and although I don't like faked vintage lume I can see why they did it with that watch. This one, not so much. There's nothing at all vintage about this watch, except the inaccurate name (although "Moonwatch" is now just a brand, most people don't know what it's about, and when they do find out, they won't care anyway).
Breitling does something similar with the lume on its Chronomat Airborne, which is big and technical in the modern way, but has a colour that can only be described as "unripe peach".
...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!
Ahahhaa, baby poo... thanks for making me snort fizzy water through my nose...
In fairness, I do actually like the colour and execution of the faux-aged lume, just not the intention of making a new watch 'look' old if the only purpose is to charge more
I really like them BUT they are WAAAAY to expensive
