Though OMEGA’s new “Speedy Tuesday” certainly has a sense of fun, with its 70’s Japanese sci-fi references, the Speedmaster “Ultraman” boasts genuine space credentials, as it shares its DNA with OMEGA’s 1967 “Moonwatch”.<\/p>\n
A stand-out feature of that classic ’67chronograph was its distinctive orange seconds hand, which drew the attention of the production team behind the fourth instalment in the ULTRAMAN series: RETURN OF ULTRAMAN<\/strong>. As the bold orange perfectly matched the suits of the heroic Monster Attack Team, OMEGA’s “Moonwatch” became an essential part of their beast-battling kit.<\/p>\n On the new Ultraman the seconds hand draws its inspiration from the ’67 original<\/strong>, embracing the same dimensions and shade of orange. As an extension of this theme, the new watch also features a black\/orange bezel in anodized aluminium.<\/strong><\/p>\n The classic Speedmaster subdials of the new “Speedy Tuesday” hold a few surprises. As Ultraman was only able to stay in superhero-mode for 3 minutes, the minute subdial at 3 o’clock features the first 3 minutes picked-out in orange. On the seconds subdial at 9 o\u2019clock, there’s a hidden silhouette of Ultraman’s profile, which is revealed by a special tool available with the watch. The strap changer, identical to Ultraman’s Beta Capsule, features a UV lamp at one end, which when shined on the dial, reveals the image.<\/strong><\/p>\n A vintage Omega logo on the dial adds a retro touch and the caseback features an engraving of #SpeedyTuesday and the words QUALIFIED BY NASA FOR ALL MANNED SPACE MISSIONS<\/strong>. The watch is presented on a black and orange NATO strap and comes with a spare black leather strap<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Limited to just 2,012 pieces<\/strong>, the OMEGA Speedmaster 42 mm “Ultraman” is a true collectable and is presented in its own hexagonal box: a tribute to the futuristic table used by Ultraman’s Monster Attack Team<\/strong>.\u00a0(Price \u20ac.6.020<\/strong>)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For the second time, OMEGA is offering online sales of a new #SpeedyTuesday Ultraman timepiece via its Instagram channel.
