INDUSTRY NEWS: Platinum Speedmaster 40th
The quintessential function-first, tool watch has finally gotten a healthy dose of gaudiness. It was only a matter of time before Omega decided that it needed to price a version of the Omega Speedmaster Professional Moon Watch out of its core consumer's spending threshold. Available starting at Omega's new flagship 5th Avenue store in New York City - 69 pieces of the new 40th Anniversary Limited Edition Apollo 11 Moon Watch, in platinum, will tempt collectors. The watch case, bracelet, and hands are done in platinum. An 18k gold engraved plate on the caseback, and as the seconds subsidiary dial, are emblematic of the successful 1969 moon landing mission. The gold plate on the dial pictures an eagle landing on the moon, to celebrate the historical statement made famous by event stating, the eagle has landed.Even after 40 years, the watch remains very true to the original. Size of the case is 42mm wide, while the crystal is made out of an acrylic compound called Hesalite. Why not sapphir

5196g or 5296g?
I currently have a 5146g (cream dial) and 5167. I'm looking for a smart, formal, work/ wear with a suit watch.I did have a 5196g (that's a pic of mine below) but traded it for the ac.I like the classic look of the 5196, the clean dial but I did worry it was a little too thin. Then again that was when I didn't have the option of turning to my 5146.On the other hand the size and thickness of the 5296 is perfect, I like the sector dial but not sure if it takes it away from being a dress/ formal watch. Also I'm not sure about the date window, in fact if they'd left it out I think this would be an easier decision to make.What do you guys think? Any more pics welcome.
