Breaking news: the Speedmaster Professional gets a new reference number, a new box (with goodies), an updated bracelet and a price increase.

The new box includes an Omega black NATO strap, a velcro strap resembling the one used by NASA, a loupe (with tachymeter!), a strap changing tool and a Speedmaster plate/ coin with the Seahorse logo. Also included are instructions for strap changes and a book detailing Speedmaster highlights.

It is quite a departure from the box that was used to date and very fitting for an icon such as the Speedmaster. The extra straps seem to indicate that Omega is listening to collectors – both are popular choices among Speedmaster-aficionado’s.

According to our information it will also be available separately – sans watch but including the other goodies. [We will update this post once we have confirmation of this.]

UPDATE:

Moonwatch box has ref. 9410.63.14. Price is EUR 540 incl. VAT

Bracelet on the new reference is the screwed 9300 type – no more folding pins
