This is in fact the second partnership between Omega and Fratellowatches as their first collaboration was the first Speedy Tuesday Speedmaster launched back in 2017. In addition to the orange center seconds hand, the new Ultraman also has orange hour markers, and a black and orange tachymetric bezel; the word “Speedmaster” is in orange as well. To pay tribute to the Japanese tv-show, there is a hidden silhouette of Ultraman in the small seconds subdial at 9:00.

As you can see, many of the watches for the 2020 Collection have been inspired from existing or discontinued models. Three of the five watches are in stainless steel while the other two have gold aspects included. The Apollo 15 35th anniversary edition is one of those watches used to inspire this collection. The watches are limited to up to 2020 pieces and can be bought as the set of five. The set of five is limited to 55 pieces.

Every watch has ‘Speedmaster’ printed onto the dial in a deep red. On every of these Speedmasters, the case back it features an engraving of the Olympic Rings and the official logo for the 2020 Olympic Games. Some are worried that these watches are too close to the original watches used to inspire this collection. However, these watches will only be available in Japan via the Omega boutiques.

Prices are 680.400 Yen for the stainless steel models, which converts to approximately 5225 Euro. The bi-colour models are a bit more expensive, at 842.400 Yen, equals approximately 6470 Euro.

There is another tribute, this time being to Omega watch enthusiasts. the bezel features a dot positioned above the number 90, in tribute to the “dot over 90” bezel used on pre-1970 Speedmasters. To conclude this scifi-watch, Omega has added a black and orange NATO strap and also a black leather strap with orange stitching. The first Speedy Tuesday sold out in less than 2 hours according to Omega so if you are planing on reserving this watch you better hurry up!

The packaging for this new Speedy Tuesday appears as an alien made hexagonal box but magnificent as it shows resemblance to Ultraman. While this Speedy Tuesday is likely to sell out quick with 2,012 limited pieces, there is still a chance to reserve your ‘Ultraman’ based Omega.
