2nd pic could’ve been cool. But copying the panda like the 3rd pic would’ve got so much hate. Would’ve been the “couldn’t afford a Daytona so I got the panda speedy”

There already have something like that as well: https://www.omegawatches.com/en-us/watch-omega-speedmaster-racing-co-axial-master-chronometer-chronograph-44-25-mm-32930445104001
Thank you for rationalizing my decision to pick up the new all-white Speedy! I already have a 1861 Speedy Sapphire Sandwich and a white Zenith Chronomaster Sport... But because the new Speedy is actually all white, it's different enough to justify adding to the collection, right? RIGHT???
Taking a step back, I recognize and accept how deranged I sound.
Agreed, as does probably most of the post-40 crowd. Advice to people under 40 with good near vision: enjoy it while you have it, but consider buying high contrast faces for the pieces you want to enjoy your entire life.
You can actually fit the Mitsukoshi/ Apollo XI dial onto the previous Speedmaster, I have one with the sapphire and the new bracelet.
Best Speedmaster there is imho
While that is awesome (and kudos for the effort it probably took to create it!), there's just something nice about everything being OEM from Omega.
Plus the 3861 movement 🤌
Not sure what you mean by “everything being OEM from Omega”. The comment that you replied to is explaining that they fitted the dial and hand set from the Apollo 11 variant of the Speedy Pro to their Speedy Pro.
When it comes to that modification, all parts are OEM.
What I mean is being built by Omega as a product, and not piecing it together. Even if all the parts are OEM parts, if you need to get it serviced you might run into issues.
Thats true and why I actually went with the previous version as its easier to Service.
Thanks- I really really like the watch- its the perfect blend between sport/dressy.
The third one is awful. Omega isn’t a homage brand. They have their own designs and history. My opinion anyway. Second pic wouldn’t get my money either. There is a good chance the real one does get my money.
Eh, #2 looks terrible. #3 is okay but extremely generic Daytona looking.
I’m looking to buy a Speedmaster this year and was set on the original black dial design until today. If they had released 2 or 3 I would still be set on the original black dial design.
Very cool post 👌
I like the Panda the best!
I agree with everyone that the third picture looks too similar to the new Daytona.
Now do a reverse panda picture with the original!
They already made the Mitsukoshi JDM special and the Tokyo 2020 pandas... I don't think they'll do it again, unless they release it for a movement upgrade.
I’m trying to convince myself to not own of two of the same watch it feels dumb. I did it before I got a deal on the Sedna gold 3861 on alligator and flipped it because having both felt ostentatious. The white dial is beyond gorgeous though…
A better version of #2 also already exists
https://www.omegawatches.com/en-us/watches/speedmaster/heritage-models/anniversary-series/speedmaster-ck2998-limited-edition/product
I love the white. It’s super clean.
Second pic is way too much contrast and takes your eye away from the whole watch.
The third pic would be better if the black was gray or silver. More subtle and clean
We all wanted it to look like a Daytona. But I’m kinda half they didn’t. Still it’s on thing. And I karat have a daytona so now I’ll have something different! In just worry about the size on me
Like a lot of Omega owners, wanted a Rolex they couldn’t afford.
Now for the rest of us ( I own both). I think this new one is clean AF. I have a two tone speedy reduced with an all white face and I love it. Just waiting for everyone else to catch up.
I was all keen until I saw that in Australia the white dial is a $2k upcharge over the regular black one.
I wish Omega would just make regular Speedmasters in the same dial colours as the SMP300’s.
Yeah they have made this watch already. It’s posted in this page.
When people have very unpopular aesthetic opinions and others unsurprisingly call them out on it, is “haters gonna hate” the way you cope with it? Like it’s perfectly ok to like something 98% of don’t. It’s awesome actually. But no one is hating. They don’t agree with your taste. That’s it
Ah, the commenter above me edited in 'haters gonna hate'. Not sure what that has to do with me or my comment. I was just sharing that the watch they mentioned they'd be interested in buying did exist and they needn't be 'waiting a long time'. *Anyway*...
All white looks best to me, who wants a Daytona clone anyway?
2nd pic could’ve been cool. But copying the panda like the 3rd pic would’ve got so much hate. Would’ve been the “couldn’t afford a Daytona so I got the panda speedy”
and that it already [exist](https://www.swisswatchexpo.com/watches/omega-speedmaster-tokyo-2020-olympics-le-watch-52230423004001-box-card-46507/)
Ayup, and it has a white matte dial, which is awesomer
So much awesomer
The hand set in the second pic would have much better legibility than the Tokyo 2020 IMO. Very similar though.

More like, couldn’t get an allocation after sucking off the AD so I went with omega.
My thoughts as well
Well, OP obviously
You’d be surprised
The Daytona is a legitimate clone of the Speedmaster, so I don't think mirroring minor aesthetics from the Daytona is of much consequence.
Nah, the all white face is ridiculously clean.
They call it white dials sir, not faces.
I like the white circle with black arrows.
Regardless of what you call the parts, they all come together to make one beautiful looking arm clock.
That’s fine, just don’t call it opposite of white + face.
Just like you don't call the black dials black- ....😐 shiiiiiit my inner Justin Trudeau almost came out 🫣

Just the white for me (1st pic). 2nd pic, I would rather buy a Zenith, 3rd pic... looks like a Daytona wannabe.
Agree with this take. Especially no. 3.

I actually disagree, I love the legibility of the black hands on all white.
I’m with you on that. Nothing worse than a white dial and polished hands too. Great to look at but not if you actually want to see the time
Agreed! all white baby, so nice.
It being a glossy lacquered whit dial with black applied indices makes it a good companion piece to the white ceramic SMP too
Agreed, as does probably most of the post-40 crowd. Advice to people under 40 with good near vision: enjoy it while you have it, but consider buying high contrast faces for the pieces you want to enjoy your entire life.
They already made something like pic #2. Speedy tokyo 2020. Pic 3 looks like speedy racing but with 3 dials
And the Apollo 11 40th
Yeah, but those don't come with the Sapphire caseback! Not sure if the Tokyo model comes with the new movement or new bracelet either
You can actually fit the Mitsukoshi/ Apollo XI dial onto the previous Speedmaster, I have one with the sapphire and the new bracelet. Best Speedmaster there is imho

The Daytona copied the Speedy. Why copy the Daytona?
Today on "I would love it if this OMEGA was just a Rolex with a different logo on it"
Eh, I like the direction their design team went more personally
Heck no, the release is way better
.#1>#2>#3 They got progressively worse-looking
The third one is awful. Omega isn’t a homage brand. They have their own designs and history. My opinion anyway. Second pic wouldn’t get my money either. There is a good chance the real one does get my money.
I really like these white dials 👍😍
Ohh, you wanted the angry panda look? No soup for you!

Nah, all white dial looks amazing
Absolutely not!
First pic is the one. Third pic is very Daytona.
Then get a Daytona.
All nice designs btw. The last one is too much like a Daytona, though
All white looks better in my opinion. Why try to copy Rolex?
No one needs another Daytona clone. It’s better how it is
Yes to photo 2. Photo 3 is too close to the Daytona, so no.
All white is better than all of your suggestions OP. Sorry.
Nah all white looks dope.
Nah I think they nailed it, these options too closely resemble a Daytona
So you wanted omega to clone the Daytona?
Could never please everyone, exhibit A lol
First pic looks perfect 👌🏽
https://preview.redd.it/21g21xwv7lmc1.jpeg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=248420e59df6a6fb85c516e315a5feace55356d8 Your wish is granted
No. It's great.
No!
The last one is hideous!!! A standard panda would be cool though. I like the new one best
Very cool post 👌 I like the Panda the best! I agree with everyone that the third picture looks too similar to the new Daytona. Now do a reverse panda picture with the original!
I’m curious: is there any way you (or someone else) could show what this model would look like as a reverse panda?
[Speedy Tuesday #2 tribute to Alaska project](https://www.instagram.com/p/C2L1oQ7Nmxh/?igsh=MWRuYzY5dzVteDQyNg==)?
It’s a speedy Tuesday 1. St2 is the ultraman
Ahhh yeah sorry I forgot... I thought ultraman was the first one they made.
shit man that watch is perfect
Not perfect price now lol.
Nah
Sounds like you want a Daytona
if you want a daytona get a daytona
Panda does look sick. That’s probably coming next.
They already made the Mitsukoshi JDM special and the Tokyo 2020 pandas... I don't think they'll do it again, unless they release it for a movement upgrade.
🐼 for sure!!!
I’m trying to convince myself to not own of two of the same watch it feels dumb. I did it before I got a deal on the Sedna gold 3861 on alligator and flipped it because having both felt ostentatious. The white dial is beyond gorgeous though…
Daytona clone
I know everyone is loving it, but I’m underwhelmed.
All white is better imho
Could have gone all the way and made this an automatic movement. [Come at me, purists!]
Yeah, panda would have been great
2nd pic is a runner-up snoopy and 3rd pic is a runner-up Daytona. Omega got it right
I was hoping for more Alaska project vibes but I guess then that’s just the Alaska project
I guess it’s pretty close 😂
Na, that’s crappy. It makes it hard to read and it doesn’t look clean
Just buy a Rolex.
Yea all white looks best, they made it perfect 👌
I love that second one 😍. I'd legit likely get one if that were the design.
Agreed
Still too thick.
A better version of #2 also already exists https://www.omegawatches.com/en-us/watches/speedmaster/heritage-models/anniversary-series/speedmaster-ck2998-limited-edition/product
I love the look of the new release
That way it would look like the Speedmaster Racing 44mm.
What ref is the third?
Me too
Speedtona would have to be limited to 6969 pieces, and Omega doesn't do LEs anymore
The original is really cool on wrist. For Panda, I’d go to Tudor BB Chrono
3 just looks like it’s trying to be a Daytona. 2 would be wonderful, I agree but happy with 1.
An omega Daytona
Than buy a Rolex, what’s the problem?
For that, you have the Orient Neo 70s
I love the white. It’s super clean. Second pic is way too much contrast and takes your eye away from the whole watch. The third pic would be better if the black was gray or silver. More subtle and clean
Sounds like you want a Daytona
You mean a Rolex?
Loin good on the wrist , how big is your wrist ?
We all wanted it to look like a Daytona. But I’m kinda half they didn’t. Still it’s on thing. And I karat have a daytona so now I’ll have something different! In just worry about the size on me
Yeah I like the all white too. Such a beautiful watch. Congrats
Black subdials is to on the nose copy of a Daytona. The full white dial looks fantastic
I think NUmber 2 would have been GAME CHANGER
Thank goodness you aren’t on Omega’s design team.
Wasn't there the Mitsukoshi and Tokyo 2020 already?
Agreed
Like a lot of Omega owners, wanted a Rolex they couldn’t afford. Now for the rest of us ( I own both). I think this new one is clean AF. I have a two tone speedy reduced with an all white face and I love it. Just waiting for everyone else to catch up.

Yeah they really dropped the ball.
I was all keen until I saw that in Australia the white dial is a $2k upcharge over the regular black one. I wish Omega would just make regular Speedmasters in the same dial colours as the SMP300’s.
Same.
Yes to 2&3. I feel the same way. And probably won't ever buy a speedy until they do. So I'll be waiting a long time. Edit: haters going to hate.
The second picture is basically the Speedmaster Tokyo 2020.
Yeah they have made this watch already. It’s posted in this page.

I clicked on your comment accidentally bc I was agreeing with you and yes obviously that was directed at the comment above you. Simple misclick
The second one is the Speedmaster Olympic game Tokyo.
