Speedy Tuesday Ultraman
In early 2017, Replica Omega presents its first edition Speedy Tuesday. The idea? A limited edition of 2012 exemplars, launched in partnership with Robert Fratello Watches' watchmaking website by Robert-Jan Broer.
The watch sold in a few hours and its coast on the used market took 60%. A good deal for the brand (about 10 million euros of turnover) and for collectors who could get it at the official price.
Forcibly, with this first success, the watchmaker did not resist to reproduce the concept this year with the second or second edition of the Speed Speedy Tuesday which arrives once again, in a limited edition of 2012 copies only sold via the brand's Instagram account.
This year, it is the "Ultraman", a 42mm Speed that pays tribute to the hero of the Ultraman saga, a set of Japanese television series created by Tsuburaya Productions and one of the most famous examples of the genre "kaiju "Or" giant monster ".
"This new" Speedy Tuesday "has a rather light style, with references to the Japanese science fiction of the 70s; but it is also deeply linked to the true spatial history of humanity and the House thanks to the elements that it shares with its ancestor, the "Moonwatch" of 1967 "assures the brand in its release.
It is a typical feature of this classic 1967 chronograph that caught the attention of the producers of the fourth series of the Ultraman saga, the return of Ultraman: the bright orange second hand, perfectly matched to the patrol's costumes. anti-monster scientist of the series. The Omega Moonwatch was able to integrate easily into their arsenal.
The second hand of the new "Ultraman" is inspired by the original of 1967: it displays the same acid color and the same dimensions. This colorful theme is extended on the orange and black anodized aluminum bezel.
The counters also reserve some surprises. In reference to Ultraman, who can only stay in superhero mode for three minutes, the first three minutes of the 3 o'clock counter are highlighted with orange.
A special accessory, supplied with the watch, reveals the shadow of Ultraman's face on the seconds counter at 9 o'clock: when the dial is illuminated with the UV lamp attached to the end of the tool to change the bracelet (the shape reminiscent of the capsule beta Ultraman), the profile of the hero appears.
Finally, the vintage Omega logo on the dial brings a retro touch. On the bottom of the case are engraved the mentions #SpeedyTuesday and "Qualified by NASA for all manned space missions". The watch is presented on a black and orange NATO strap and comes with a black leather replacement strap.
