OMEGA's second "Speedy Tuesday" sells in 01:53.17
At 12 noon on the 10th of July, OMEGA's new #SpeedyTuesday timepiece was available for sale via its @OMEGA Instagram channel. In just under two hours, all 2,012 pieces had been sold.
OMEGA's Speedmaster Limited Edition 42 mm "Ultraman" has proven to be a huge hit with watch fans around the world. The new Limited Edition timepiece was snapped-up in just 1 hour, 53 minutes and 17 seconds.
The new watch is a tribute to the key character in the ULTRAMAN series, a collection of shows created by Tsuburaya Productions in Japan. ULTRAMAN is one of the most famous examples of the Kaiju "giant monster" genre.
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".
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. 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.
Limited to just 2,012 pieces, 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.
