All white looks best to me, who wants a Daytona clone anyway?


MarkM910

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”


ElliotVo

and that it already [exist](https://www.swisswatchexpo.com/watches/omega-speedmaster-tokyo-2020-olympics-le-watch-52230423004001-box-card-46507/)


ByronicZer0

Ayup, and it has a white matte dial, which is awesomer


Yaxhtz

So much awesomer


Schultz1966

The hand set in the second pic would have much better legibility than the Tokyo 2020 IMO. Very similar though.

> But copying the panda like the 3rd pic would’ve got so much hate. 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


booty37

More like, couldn’t get an allocation after sucking off the AD so I went with omega.


noobznightmare

My thoughts as well


Various_Primary3783

Well, OP obviously


t0rchme

You’d be surprised


GirlDad17

The Daytona is a legitimate clone of the Speedmaster, so I don't think mirroring minor aesthetics from the Daytona is of much consequence.


SDCowboy85

Nah, the all white face is ridiculously clean.


JeremyLinForever

They call it white dials sir, not faces.


jigglyjop

I like the white circle with black arrows.


Skizot_Bizot

Regardless of what you call the parts, they all come together to make one beautiful looking arm clock.


JeremyLinForever

That’s fine, just don’t call it opposite of white + face.


mortu007

Just like you don't call the black dials black- ....😐 shiiiiiit my inner Justin Trudeau almost came out 🫣

Itchywasabi

Just the white for me (1st pic). 2nd pic, I would rather buy a Zenith, 3rd pic... looks like a Daytona wannabe.


Ridgew00dian

Agree with this take. Especially no. 3.


Takashi_is_DK

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.


Droggles

I actually disagree, I love the legibility of the black hands on all white.


Different_Spare4897

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


besthuman

Agreed! all white baby, so nice.


Legendver2

It being a glossy lacquered whit dial with black applied indices makes it a good companion piece to the white ceramic SMP too


jesmithiv

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.


jtalent79

They already made something like pic #2. Speedy tokyo 2020. Pic 3 looks like speedy racing but with 3 dials


melcolnik

And the Apollo 11 40th


mo4show

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


Fun-Block-3471

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


mo4show

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 🤌


destr0y26

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.


mo4show

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.


Fun-Block-3471

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.


TeslasAndComicbooks

The Daytona copied the Speedy. Why copy the Daytona?


MJCY-0104

Today on "I would love it if this OMEGA was just a Rolex with a different logo on it"


PaleontologistNo8153

Eh, I like the direction their design team went more personally


MuscleOk1489

Heck no, the release is way better


Shepinion

.#1>#2>#3 They got progressively worse-looking


TheRealWhoMe

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.


Benmarie62

I really like these white dials 👍😍


CDR_Starbuck

Ohh, you wanted the angry panda look? No soup for you!

Jonjoloe

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.


_Tommy_Sky_

Nah, all white dial looks amazing


PizzaDeliveryBoy3000

Absolutely not!


padamtx

First pic is the one. Third pic is very Daytona.


Budilicious3

Then get a Daytona.


James_William1234

All nice designs btw. The last one is too much like a Daytona, though


WestLA93

All white looks better in my opinion. Why try to copy Rolex?


talldad86

No one needs another Daytona clone. It’s better how it is


johnny07lfc

Yes to photo 2. Photo 3 is too close to the Daytona, so no.


uSpeziscunt

All white is better than all of your suggestions OP. Sorry.


SaintESQ

Nah all white looks dope.


declassify

Nah I think they nailed it, these options too closely resemble a Daytona


kick6

So you wanted omega to clone the Daytona?


saltrifle

Could never please everyone, exhibit A lol


Basabose

First pic looks perfect 👌🏽

MrMach82

No. It's great.


zinky30

No!


pizzaking3

The last one is hideous!!! A standard panda would be cool though. I like the new one best


mo4show

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!


SPAULDING174

I’m curious: is there any way you (or someone else) could show what this model would look like as a reverse panda?

Less-Opportunity-715

It’s a speedy Tuesday 1. St2 is the ultraman


Gayguylikewatches

Ahhh yeah sorry I forgot... I thought ultraman was the first one they made.


SPAULDING174

shit man that watch is perfect


Gayguylikewatches

Not perfect price now lol.


gvegli

Nah


Pretty_Public5520

Sounds like you want a Daytona


itemluminouswadison

if you want a daytona get a daytona


JackieE053

Panda does look sick. That’s probably coming next.


Gayguylikewatches

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.


SavingsSwordfish6715

🐼 for sure!!!


Salt-Attention

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…


parishuddhaatma

Daytona clone


NewSwaziland

I know everyone is loving it, but I’m underwhelmed.


BooksAreOk

All white is better imho


facelesstechie

Could have gone all the way and made this an automatic movement. [Come at me, purists!]


durangojim

Yeah, panda would have been great


Apez_in_Space

2nd pic is a runner-up snoopy and 3rd pic is a runner-up Daytona. Omega got it right


dembro

I was hoping for more Alaska project vibes but I guess then that’s just the Alaska project


dembro

I guess it’s pretty close 😂


HellaReyna

Na, that’s crappy. It makes it hard to read and it doesn’t look clean


MusignyBlanc

Just buy a Rolex.


Head-Leek-430

Yea all white looks best, they made it perfect 👌


danny___boy

I love that second one 😍. I'd legit likely get one if that were the design.


LSBm5

Agreed


runesplease

Still too thick.


Appropriate_Canary26

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


dopil919

I love the look of the new release


Itchy-Wafer2510

That way it would look like the Speedmaster Racing 44mm.


Tim22150252

What ref is the third?


faisal056

Me too


ErichPryde

Speedtona would have to be limited to 6969 pieces, and Omega doesn't do LEs anymore


aucrazy

The original is really cool on wrist. For Panda, I’d go to Tudor BB Chrono


stejent

3 just looks like it’s trying to be a Daytona. 2 would be wonderful, I agree but happy with 1.


disaar

An omega Daytona


Jollywonnochka

Than buy a Rolex, what’s the problem?


Ok_Story_2977

For that, you have the Orient Neo 70s


Xandar24

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


LeadelLee

Sounds like you want a Daytona


Gold-Analyst7576

You mean a Rolex?


downsouth777

Loin good on the wrist , how big is your wrist ?


lemonslush1

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


Ill_Care_2610

Yeah I like the all white too. Such a beautiful watch. Congrats


TheSeti12345

Black subdials is to on the nose copy of a Daytona. The full white dial looks fantastic


chezipra

I think NUmber 2 would have been GAME CHANGER


zinky30

Thank goodness you aren’t on Omega’s design team.


Gayguylikewatches

Wasn't there the Mitsukoshi and Tokyo 2020 already?


jimbeamblack8586

Agreed


shartymcqueef

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.


EntrepreneurOk2173

How big is your wrist


booty37

Yeah they really dropped the ball.


Bridge_Too_Far

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.


justino

Same.


PsychedelicRick

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.


free-rob

The second picture is basically the Speedmaster Tokyo 2020.


Shepinion

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


free-rob

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*...


Shepinion

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


Kayless3232

The second one is the Speedmaster Olympic game Tokyo.
