I love it. 18k is steep. Considering say a Rootbeer or a Rolesor Daytona but ... this is a beauty. In a year, 15k on secondary for new w box and papers I'd say.
Great video!! Ive been a PM snob for years kind of feeling too good for TT watches. This piece changed that. I saw it at a boutique and had to have it. Bought it last week and it’s amazing and done so well. The gold subdials on the “silvery cream dial” is amazing!
I have the Sedna gold 2tone version. I’m starting to think about trading out of some other watches to get the moonshine gold version too. To me that would be a strong 2 piece collection.
I was jus5 about to say the same….. the hypesters and flippers are the ones saying it because they can’t make as much money….at least it means there’s some good buys out there now👍

"Swiss Watches Direct" from the UK will knock of 20% of the price of any Omega. Used them previously when i lived in KL. These two tones will be a steal in a few months.
Bruce I prefer the Sedna gold with black sub dials. $15-$16k would have made more sense. However give it few months might be able to pick up new around 20% off msrp. 🤔
I'm not sold on the dial, and the ceramic bezel will take a while to get used to, but that bracelet is magnificent. It looks like it was designed to become 2-tone.
Very nice & thorough review, thanks! Considering the price, there is a premium of 7500 Euros just for the bracelet, which also adds 65 grams to the 96 grams of the watch. It simply looks stunning on the brown alligator strap, one could save money & weight at the same time. The Moonwatch really is a strap monster also in two tone.
If you're into vintage watches, I have good news for you: Omega issued several Speedmasters like that in the mid- to late 80ies. There was a Speedmaster Special Italy (DD 145.0022‑2) and a Speedmaster Reduced (DA 175.00.33), both with a black dial and gold subdials, a Speedmaster Reduced with a gold dial and gold subdials (DA 175.0032) as well as a Speedmaster Professional (DD 145.022) with a gold dial and white subdials. Despite their age I have seen some of them in pretty good condition on chrono24.
I love this watch except I’m not sold on the bracelet. I will have to see it in person. I would have put the watch in the $15k range but gold has gone up a decent amount recently.
Kudos for your video work to give this watch such great clarity. When I saw photos of this new release I wasn't very impressed. But I have admit, after seeing this video, it's a stunner!
Stunning piece!!!!! without a doubt the best release of the year once the price drops for around 10k and it will for sure... I'll get it wowwwwe i love that piece its insane 🥇 omega deserves a medal for this design, i hope they'll also bring back the speedmaster Mark 2 in similar variations.
I like it. Probably really expensive. I also like the orginal. I just wish they would have steel applied indices on the original. That would be sweet. For 10k Canadain i feel like the speedmaster getting pretty expensive for what you get. Maybe im wrong tho.
damn.. just bought a speedmaster '57 in twotone.. JK, i'm absolutely in love with that one.. and i bought is in 'as new' status for a fraction of what this costs. But i do admit, this one is gorgeous. I have always been a sucker for TT or full gold (have a gold zenith captain gmt as well ^^)
I like where omega is going. If they update their bracelet on their dive watches, make em slightly less beefy, and cut the catalog down a little, they will move up the rankings.
Never cared for the speedy until this. The white dial is nice too tho. I'm black and I like something to go with my skin tone. Being understated is a plus.
I think this looks really nice, although I would have preferred a lacquered dial over sunray (I’m not a fan of sunray). That being said for the price they are charging I would much rather stick to the classic speedy and still have $10k left over for another awesome watch (or several)
Great review as always Bruce. I agree with everything you said on this one and I think it’s a beautiful watch. I would buy this one over a lot of versions on the Speedy. The price is the only part that is hard to swallow. I would have expected somewhere between 12-15 but 18 seems a bit greedy.
Hello again, I think the Omega bracelet pops more than the full gold Rolex Day Date bracelet. As a two tone I dare to say, the Speedy bracelet looks more luxurious than the President bracelet. The brushed and polished contrast on the Omega bracelet tops Rolex this time.
That's actually really pretty! I won't comment too much on the price since I don't really understand the materials cost involved, but I do know prices on everything have been going up, so if you're not sitting on a big stock of ingots, your cost to acquire the materials must go up. I think Rolex has probably acquired materials in advance, but can an investor-owned company do the same? In any event, those are super pretty and I would love to own one, maybe some day! :)
Lovely watch... but... is it still a 3 Hz manual movement for £18,000 If it is... thats a lot of money. I own the 9900 (Seamaster 300) & 9904 (Speedmaster Moonphase) caliber watches, 4 Hz Co-Axial movements... £18,000 buys you a lot of options
I personally think this Speedy is gorgeous. I don't subscribe to the idea that a "tool watches" need to eschew precious metals. At the end of the day, watches are jewelry. Us WIS' like to pretend that we're wearing a piece of gear that is made for adventure and harsh elements, but those days are over; watches are antiquated pieces of tech and we wear them because they look cool.
I may be one of the few people in this world but I have zero and have always had zero interest in buying a Speedmaster. I love the Aquaterra and the Semaster 300m.
I do like the speedy (was my first Omega) but I have to agree that the Seamaster 300M just always has me coming back for more. Almost want to have a whole collection made up just of various 300M variations!
All that stuff people are saying about yellow gold, that it's going out of style, too old man-ish, all that stuff, I agree with. And that's the main reason why I like it. Lol.
Can you find a new 2 tone Rolex Daytona for retail and if you do will they sale it to you? Walking out of the AD with the reassuring feeling that you got an authentic luxury watch for less than a Rolex with a name is good enough for me.
I think the people who downplay gold are just people who can't afford it. 'Hater' as the young people would call them. lol Although, I don't think they're completely off when they say it's a bit 'Old manish' because when I see a gold, two-tone datejust, I always think of the older men smoking and playing cards or dominoes etc. but it's a good old. It's a positive old. These people were the "Old heads" of the neighborhood, men that would just sit around and shoot the sh*t, but had endless wisdom and knowledge. I love it.
Yes they did. I don't think they'll be able to sell this watch at its retail price. Two-toned sports watches just don't work. I refer you to the highly-mocked steel and gold Explorer, a watch that even Rolex can't sell.
It sucks that they increases the price few thousand on popularity. I don’t think the standard issue speedy is a $8k watch. As many as they are produced. No way. There is no demand. But. Hey. If ppl want to max out some credit cards. Then go for it. But it’s a shame to see the huge price jumps last few years
I absolutely love how much you focus visuals on the actual watch. Some watch chanels show the host speaking for 90% of their videos.
Thanks. People tune in to look at the watch, not my mug
I agree. Great video.
Showing the product in detail to potential buyers.
Looks beautiful... people have to get over the gold vs. Old man image
everything old is new again -- in fashion, and in watches
Ever since I turned 30, I've become increasingly partial towards gold. Debating getting the moonshine Speedy or VC Overseas dual time next.
100!
40 and now ready for old man’s two tone 🎉😂 love it 😍
I never thought I would like a two tone speedmaster but damn that is a good looking watch!
I want one I really like the vintage vibe with this Speedy.
I do feel exactly the same
I love it. 18k is steep. Considering say a Rootbeer or a Rolesor Daytona but ... this is a beauty. In a year, 15k on secondary for new w box and papers I'd say.
Great video!! Ive been a PM snob for years kind of feeling too good for TT watches. This piece changed that. I saw it at a boutique and had to have it. Bought it last week and it’s amazing and done so well. The gold subdials on the “silvery cream dial” is amazing!
The indexes (markers) are indeed solid 18kt moonshine gold.
I have the Sedna gold 2tone version. I’m starting to think about trading out of some other watches to get the moonshine gold version too. To me that would be a strong 2 piece collection.
This piece looks AMAZING. Maybe someday.... Thanks for sharing.
I agree that the people that say gold is out usually can't afford it. Anything that is high-end is not out.
I was jus5 about to say the same….. the hypesters and flippers are the ones saying it because they can’t make as much money….at least it means there’s some good buys out there now👍

Well said!
And funny thing is, a lot of young people are wearing fake gold colored watches. Gold is very cool and in this case very retro looking 😎
The goldtone reminds me of my childhood bathroom fixtures from the 80's
I have a two tone from 88 that looks almost exact its an automatic 3310.10. Look it up its soo good.
"Swiss Watches Direct" from the UK will knock of 20% of the price of any Omega. Used them previously when i lived in KL. These two tones will be a steal in a few months.
Im loving all of the gold and two tone! If i could afford it, this would probably be my favorite version next to the white dial
Bruce I prefer the Sedna gold with black sub dials. $15-$16k would have made more sense. However give it few months might be able to pick up new around 20% off msrp. 🤔
This is a beautiful Speedmaster. Almost reminds me of a Singer Porsche. Just Stunning!
Would have been better with the Chronograph sub registers in black, maybe with gold markers
Black sundials and gold markers and hands will be just perfect 👌
Very nice. They missed an opportunity though, should have done the bezel in green vice black...but gorgeous anyway.
Just going by design wise, I like them. Especially the rose gold. Idk if the price is worth it though
I cant explain it but it looks fantastic, it has that 90s yuppy vibes that i dig
I don't know how I feel about gold subdials but I don't know how else to do a 2-tone Speedmaster. Maybe gold dial with white subdials?
I really like it, personally I would do the Sedna gold two tone.
I'm not sold on the dial, and the ceramic bezel will take a while to get used to, but that bracelet is magnificent. It looks like it was designed to become 2-tone.
This looks amazing! Thanks for the review!

The sedna gold 2 tone is beautiful...
I love it. I wish they had a gold dial and black with gold sub dial version

It's amazing. How many versions of the Daytona are there???
Bruce Williams, this Speedmaster is the prettiest watch ive ever seen on your channel
Damn one of the most beautiful watches ive ever seen
Just wish I could afford this, love it.
Kudos for your video work to give this watch such great clarity. When I saw photos of this new release I wasn't very impressed. But I have admit, after seeing this video, it's a stunner!
I appreciate that!
Man I love that two tone variation. Long awaited!
What do you feel would be a fair price?
The version I was dreaming of, both models look very sharp. I am going for the Sedna one, the only flaw is the prices which are not very friendly
Stunning piece!!!!! without a doubt the best release of the year once the price drops for around 10k and it will for sure... I'll get it wowwwwe i love that piece its insane 🥇 omega deserves a medal for this design, i hope they'll also bring back the speedmaster Mark 2 in similar variations.
good video😊. I own a vintage two tone speedy, definitely my wife’s favorite watch I own
The white dial on a white rubber strap would look incredible
I like it. Probably really expensive. I also like the orginal. I just wish they would have steel applied indices on the original. That would be sweet. For 10k Canadain i feel like the speedmaster getting pretty expensive for what you get. Maybe im wrong tho.
Would love to see how it looks with the standard SS stainless steel bracelet
damn.. just bought a speedmaster '57 in twotone.. JK, i'm absolutely in love with that one.. and i bought is in 'as new' status for a fraction of what this costs. But i do admit, this one is gorgeous. I have always been a sucker for TT or full gold (have a gold zenith captain gmt as well ^^)

Never cared for the speedy until this. The white dial is nice too tho. I'm black and I like something to go with my skin tone. Being understated is a plus.
I think they did a good job with these overall. I like the yellow gold version best. More options to choose from is never a bad thing for a consumer.
Agreed. Never a bad thing
I think this looks really nice, although I would have preferred a lacquered dial over sunray (I’m not a fan of sunray). That being said for the price they are charging I would much rather stick to the classic speedy and still have $10k left over for another awesome watch (or several)
Hope to see one at my AD, not that I can get it, but I just like seeing the cool stuff.
That watch is bad ass . Period
Great review as always Bruce. I agree with everything you said on this one and I think it’s a beautiful watch. I would buy this one over a lot of versions on the Speedy. The price is the only part that is hard to swallow. I would have expected somewhere between 12-15 but 18 seems a bit greedy.
Beautiful but mannnnnn that is a price jump, my next watch will be the white dial moonwatch
I like the twotone models from omega! 👏👏👏
The Sedna gold looks amazing. The moonshine is aight
I want to see it in a blue dial
If you like yellow gold then go for it. It doesn't matter what's considered to be fashionable. And it is a cool looking watch.

Great thoughts Chris!
Wow. I love this.
I think it looks dead cool, and those macros are amazing 👍
Thank you
Lovely watch... but... is it still a 3 Hz manual movement for £18,000
If it is... thats a lot of money.
I own the 9900 (Seamaster 300) & 9904 (Speedmaster Moonphase) caliber watches, 4 Hz Co-Axial movements...
£18,000 buys you a lot of options

You are spot on imo

It's fantastic! If I had that kind of money I would buy it.
A speed master with a ceramic bezel, bracelet and dial would be nice.
More options are better. Don’t like the dial color, would love to see black dial with gold sub dials.
I like it, but I’ve always loved two tone.
On the rendered pictures it looked awesome in my eyes, but in reallife a little bit disappointing. But still with a nice touch
All that stuff people are saying about yellow gold, that it's going out of style, too old man-ish, all that stuff, I agree with. And that's the main reason why I like it. Lol.
Can you find a new 2 tone Rolex Daytona for retail and if you do will they sale it to you? Walking out of the AD with the reassuring feeling that you got an authentic luxury watch for less than a Rolex with a name is good enough for me.
It’s a hit ❤ .. well done Omega
this is great, one of their best releases in a while imo
100 percent
I like both new models but the all gold Speedy is another level entirely.
Especially the dark green dial
I think a discounted buy 20%+ off retail and I get interested.
Yes please. It's gorgeous!
Damn this Speedmaster speaks to me maybe the price will be a little better on the grey market
That’s a great looking timepiece!
I think the people who downplay gold are just people who can't afford it. 'Hater' as the young people would call them. lol
Although, I don't think they're completely off when they say it's a bit 'Old manish' because when I see a gold, two-tone datejust, I always think of the older men smoking and playing cards or dominoes etc. but it's a good old. It's a positive old. These people were the "Old heads" of the neighborhood, men that would just sit around and shoot the sh*t, but had endless wisdom and knowledge. I love it.
Beautiful watch! Nuff said.
I’m definitely vibing.. this variation is HOT!
Very nice SM variant but i still prefer my TT57
Oooooooo that is gorgeous!
Gorgeous!
Nice!
Beautiful, but manual winding sucks, I had a manual winding watch once and didn't like it.
my wife just bought me the bw 😊tudor panda chrono ...for my 60th birthday, its the best chrono out there for the monry imo
Get divorced!
@@gavinwhite9743 🤣🤣🤣
The price is insane 🤯
Bi-metal Daytona is 35% more over the steel version. These are 230%. Absolute madness.
Great review. Price is a joke, but not sell. 50-75% increase on standard would be acceptable
No they didn't. That's the best looking speedmaster I have seen.
They have so many different versions of the speedmaster. Two tone is not for me, i would buy the full gold if i could afford it.
THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL WATCH 😘
I appreciate the hands on review but the price is ridiculous.
I love the look. But not the price.
I hate the “sapphire sandwich” term way too much. Oh you mean a standard display back
It looks good and tI can see why people will buy it.
Yes they did. I don't think they'll be able to sell this watch at its retail price. Two-toned sports watches just don't work. I refer you to the highly-mocked steel and gold Explorer, a watch that even Rolex can't sell.

If ppl want to max out some credit cards. Then go for it. But it’s a shame to see the huge price jumps last few years
i like it, but they should’ve started with the other models
Id love to see a 38mm version of this
All the power to yellow gold. It makes old boomers happy.
Nice 👍👍👍
