OMEGA introduces the OMEGA Speedmaster Speedy Tuesday 2 Ultraman, a new limited edition release following up to last year’s Speedy Tuesday edition. Same as its predecessor, the new model is dedicated to the online community of Speedmaster fans gathered around the #SpeedyTuesday hashtag, which has been used since 2012 as a ‘working title’ for a recurring topic on Fratello Watches.
This year’s edition, the Speedy Tuesday Ultraman takes its design cues from the so-called Ultraman Speedmaster – a historical 1967 “Moonwatch” that has been a hit with collectors ever since it appeared in the Japanese TV show “Return of Ultraman.” OMEGA revisits the popular chronograph as an exclusive #SpeedyTuesay model.
Omega Ultraman Speedmaster - 1967.
The historical Speedmaster, featured in Return of Ultraman, was a masculine stainless steel model distinguished for its neatly finished dial and bright orange central seconds hand. In its modern day variant, the Speedmaster Ultraman model retains its shape and the exact shade of orange. In addition to the orange seconds hand, it now features orange highlights on hour markers and tachymeter bezel, and the orange colored vintage “Speedmaster” logo.
The smooth black dial reveals three tone-on-tone subdials. The small seconds subdial, positioned at 9 o’clock, features a discrete nod to the popular TV series – a hidden silhouette of Ultraman’s head. The image is visible only when a ray of UV light hits the dial. Conveniently, OMEGA included a small UV lamp that can be found at the end of the watch's strap changer, which is shaped like Ultraman’s Beta Capsule. On the 30-minutes counter the first 3 minutes are painted in orange, because Ultraman could only stay in superhero-mode for 3 minutes.
The OMEGA Speedmaster Speedy Tuesday 2 Ultraman is crafted from stainless steel and it measures 42mm in diameter. Black and orange coloring extends on the NATO strap and anodized aluminium bezel. The dot over 90 is also a little tribute to pre-1970 Speedmasters. OMEGA has included both a black and orange NATO strap, and an additional leather strap with bright orange stitching.
The solid case-back, adorned with the engraving of #SpeedyTuesday and the words THE FIRST WATCH WORN ON THE MOON, conceals the legendary OMEGA Calibre 1861.
OMEGA Speedmaster Speedy Tuesday 2 Ultraman arrives in a limited edition comprising just 2,012 pieces – a nod to the year in which #SpeedyTuesday hashtag was first used. The exclusive new model is presented in a futuristic hexagonal box – a tribute to the table used by the Monster Attack Team from the series.
The watch comes with a price tag of $7,100, or CHF 6,350, but all 2,012 limited edition numbered pieces have already been reserved in no more than 35 minutes after the exclusive launch on OMEGA website.
