This article is about the Omega Speedmaster Limited Edition "Speedmaster Tokyo 2020 Limited Edition".

"White x Black" of "Speedmaster Tokyo 2020 Limited Edition"

” was sold out by reservation, but come here and buy this limited edition model “red x white

” and “Blue x White

I was informed that the manufacturer's stock of these two models had run out.

~~This model that can be sold at our store is scheduled to be left. I will write it down first before I forget.~~

The red x white that arrived the other day

As I wrote in my blog a little while ago , it features a very beautiful dial, and before I knew it, it even had a pet name of "Rising Sun", but the stock in our store was sold out.

And the one that appears in this article is the Speedmaster with a blue dial.

.

There should have been a lot of manufacturer inventory until the week before last, but it was gone at once in the past week.

If the manufacturer's inventory is 0, the inventory will be only the amount that each dealer has, so the opportunity to purchase new items will decrease in the future.

A Japan-only model of the Speedmaster announced in 2018 after the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, which was originally scheduled to be held.

Unprecedented 5 color development, white x black

, black x gold

, blue x white

is produced with reference to the coloring from past limited models,

Other red x white

, green x gold

has borrowed the design from the current top-of-the-line Spimas model, and a total of 5 types have been completed.

The blue and white this time is close to the limited model released in 2005, and the reference number is 3565.80 ( via OMEGA ).

Only 2005 pieces were produced to commemorate the 40th anniversary of NASA's first spacewalk by Gemini 4.

3565.80 on the left. The right is this TOKYO2020 limited model.

The ref.3565.80 seems to be a fairly rare model, and it is thought that it became the base of this limited model because it is not readily available in the market.

These two are very similar, but the difference is that the glass is sapphire crystal or hesalite, so you can see the difference at a glance. Specifications for the bracelet.

All 2020 pieces of this series will be released only in Japan, so the number and sales area are limited.

If this was a worldwide limited edition, it would have been sold out immediately after about 200 pieces arrived in Japan.

The fact that you can still buy it is important. If you can't buy it anymore, there's no room for consideration.

I wrote earlier that the coloring of the limited model that came out in 2005 is close, but looking back, the blue dial of the hand-wound Spimas is rare.

If the dial is a blue base...I remember...

How much?

The self-winding model is lined up as a regular model, but I can't think of a hand-wound model at all.

The blue in is the accent color.

Now, to explain the size of this model, the case size is 42mm.

This is the same size as the 4th generation Speedmaster announced in 1964.

While case size trends change with the times, it is wonderful that the size has remained the same for over 60 years. It has nothing to do with going out of fashion.

The weight is about 174 grams before adjusting the bracelet. Whether this is heavy or light is a comparison with the watches I've been using so far, so I guess it's up to each person.

The buckle is a type with an adjuster that can be slid to change the length. This is quite convenient.

There is no image for some reason, but the TOKYO 2020 emblem is engraved on the back cover.

In the latest issue of the watch magazine Chronos, there is a brief statement that "the notation of 2020 was favorably accepted as a misprint."

Robert-Jan Blois, who created the world's largest Omega community, also said on Instagram that "the value for collectors is increasing." I feel like

The OMEGA logo, hands and indexes on the dial are made of white gold.

The index of the regular model is luminous, so it's fun to look for small differences in detail.

By the way, I think that the reason why this blue dial is blue is because it is the color used in the emblem of the Olympic Games, but at the time of fer. ” seems to have been the reason.

A while ago you would have called me "romantic", but now you might call me "emo".
