Give people the option of case shape, and the choice of modern or vintage inspired, with vintage styling like logos, dials, lume “age” being limited to 321 movement speedmasters (currently the new FOIS is the only piece that doesn’t conform to that).

Hi Steve, have you still got your Snoopy 3?

Nope- moved that on long ago as the bloody thing was unreadable when the hands went over the sub dials. So this is my only speedy currently.

I would still like to see a 321 in a professional case, the same as the model which Buzz was wearing on the moon.

I’m guessing that there would only be a very limited market for it, possibly similar to that for the current stainless 321, but I would be interested if one was made. I’m sure that this would ‘just’ involve re casing the current 321 into the Snoopy 3 case so shouldn’t be too difficult or costly, but I doubt Omega will ever do this.

Ahh, OK.

I hope you get on with this new one better.
