Because they placed their order 1.5-2 years before the release, because they are such fans. Makes totally sense to me.

Those Omega reference numbers just roll right off the tongue.

Omega boutiques in Korea have these immediately available, saw one yesterday and price was $7500 tax free

I think this is a great generation for the Speedy. The black dial 3861 draws in first time buyers (like me!) who are buying into the Speedy for the first time and want the classic, while the white dial 3861 gives an excuse to old collectors who already have a black Speedy to buy into the newer, dressier generation and to people who never got into the black dial Speedy because it was too businesslike. There's even the MoonSwatch for the kids to play with.

Home run from Omega!

Great video! The new white Speedmaster is a homerun imho, and it’s such a lovely and fun iteration of a classic design that will excite Speedy enthusiasts as well as win new collectors who never warmed up to the original black dial. Watch of the year for me!

I have been trying many speedmaster for years until I brought this white dial version. I kept wearing it for the last month. This speedmaster white dial is just an excellent piece that must buy this year…

Omega are getting much better at the whole 'hype watch' thing - good for them. I remember when yet another new speedmaster variant would be greeted with a yawn and light mockery, now everyone is just talking about the waiting list.

This is why they released the white Speedmaster: most people already had a an older moonwatch and did not find the updated 3861 a big enough reason to pull the trigger on a black 3861 moonwatch. The movement wasn’t, the sapphire wasn’t, nor was the bracelet alone. The white aesthetic aspect did. So now everyone can enjoy the new movement and bracelet. This white 3861 “moonwatch” gives everyone a reason to go for the updated one.

But how do you get on the VP list without getting on the waitlist several times first? Porsche does the same thing. They’ve become investments. Really annoying for people actually interested in the product itself and have to choose between Rolex to check it off the list, or an objectively better watch for the same price.

I do not particularly like Speedmasters but when I tried the white one on I bought it. It’s fun, wears well and is quite versatile. It was also my first boutique purchase, as most of my other purchases have been of Rolex, which can only be bought in the gray market. It was a good purchasing experience.

Got one on the ralley strap. Really nice watch.

That intro music was wonderful.

Lovely watch but seen some reviews that say build quality is poor, I will wait till problems are sorted.

Added to my black 3861.👏🇦🇺

The white dial speedmaster racing on a black perforated leather strap beats this.

I was adamant that I'll be getting the white Speedy this year end, then i saw the new Tag Heuer Carrera Chronograph and Skipper. So now i'm torn. It's crazy to consider a Tag against an Omega but those 2 are just gorgeous. With better water resistance too (although lacking that beautiful caseback view)

Mark definitely has that right amount of watch tism that makes me like Hodinkee again

Why doesn't it hve a ceramic bezel insert?

Pretty much everybody sees the new white dial and says “oh yea I think I want that”. Same thing with the moonshine gold speedy. This one is a little easier to justify.

More water resistance would be nice.

38mm would be cool!

Is it only me but I really prefer the black version. Also for me a competitor is the white dial explorer II which I actually would like more ..

@hodinkee - Do we know the wrist size for reference please ?

You look like Ethan Suplee.

If they only had 38mm version with 12mm thickness 😊

Love omega white face

The main competitor is the black OG moonwatch not the Daytona

Still too bloody big for my 6.4" wrist. Sick of Omega now. Got rid of my Seamaster for feeling like a brick, too. If they make this in 38mm, or one like the old-styled Marui, I'm all in.

Wait list is fake. I got my white moonwatch 30 days after it was launched. :)

Give Grandpa his watch back!

The wait list is artificial. It’s identical, apart from the dial. So take the % of the black dial/identiacal version that you are not selling and up the production of the white dial. Ramp up would take a few months and the disruption to the production line relatively minimal

Nice 🤍

Huh I could watch in and get the white dial pretty much most omega AD… so cap

The white dial Speedmaster is so much better looking than the Daytona. It isn’t even close: Speedy wins hands down!

Well , The Omega speedmaster Reduced albino , is so mutch better 🌴☀️ 39 mm , no red logo .

Got it today after a 5 month wait.

2 years wait list… 😂 let the hobby become enjoyable again and don’t try to hype watches for a quick buck please.

Nasa vibes, i love this so much

Every collector should have a Speedmaster? Couldn’t disagree more. I like the Speedy but I will never buy it and I actually tried it on my wrist before

- 3 Hz movement on a 2024 Chronograph... I dont know whether to laugh 😂 or cry 😢 I compensated on my 4 Hz Speedmaster 9904 movement because at least its a Moonphase, and automatic co-axial.

Great watch. Bad presenter

Omega is not side by side with Rolex….more like Heuer

If they're willing to transform the historic watch like this, they should have the balls to drop the impractical manual winding movement that only lasts for 2 days and go with one of their excellent automatic movements.

Why? Because of the 42mm diameter? It actually wears much smaller than that, the bracelet being so well integrated and comfortable, and the thickness of the case rather contained. 40mm is the max I like to wear in general, and the speedy sits perfectly for me.
