Well, here it is. To the surprise of no one in the watch community, Omega has unveiled a limited edition Speedmaster to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. You’ll recall that we reported the release of a solid gold Speedy a few months back that served as an opening act to what we imagined would be a big year for Speedmaster releases, and now we’re presented with something akin to the main event. Let’s go through the details of one of the most eagerly anticipated watch releases in recent memory.
