·Dropped one of my Wittnauer chronographs off this morning at my local watchmaker which also is an Omega AD. Got to talking with my usual contact about the precious metal Speedmasters and since we were in the Los Angeles area I figure it’s only fitting to tell it like the dialogue of a screen play might be written.
AD: Have you seen any person yet?
Me: I was lucky enough to see the Sedna Rose Gold at a nearby Omega Boutique but I’ve always been curious to see the Green Dial Moonshine Gold Speedmaster on the Bracelet.
AD: Ah, we don’t have the Moonshine Gold/Green Dial at the moment but would you like to see the Canopus Gold Speedmaster?
Me: (Holding back blurting out “Does a bear shit in the woods!?!?”) If you have the time and if it is alright for me to see them with just the intention of only looking for now, I’d love to see the Canopus Gold example.
AD: Of course that’s alright, I know you’re a big fan of the Speedmaster and this example is just too wonderful to miss seeing in person. I’ll go grab it from the back.
- Proceeds to leave to grab the watch and then returns with three boxes -
Me: (My face must have looked like a kid seeing presents & candy for the first time) This is really kind of you to take the time to show this to me.
AD: Oh it’s my pleasure! And we’re not busy yet today so this is a wonderful time for you to see them.
Me: Them?
AD: Well, I was mistaken, we actually had the Canopus Gold, the Sedna Gold and the Moonshine Gold Green Dial, all on bracelets, in stock.
Me: 😁
AD: Which one would you like to see first?
Me: Well I’ve got to wrists so could I try two at once? Hahaha
AD: Hahaha if you’d like, sure!
Me: No that would be too ridiculous, one at a time is totally fine. And since I may never see the Canopus gold again could we please start with that example?
AD: Of course!
I then proceeded to try them on and to cut to the chase for rewarding those of you wonderful OF members that made it this far, here are the photos. Full disclosure, I was way to preoccupied with being present and looking at the watches on my wrist that I only snapped one photo of the Canopus and Moonshine examples to show my wife and you all. Please excuse the fact that they’re not the best photos but I still wanted to share with you all.
Canopus Gold
The white gold is stunning in person! Truly it’s a wonderful example, but the one that took the cake for me was the….
Moonshine Gold with the Green Dial
I’ve never been partial to a yellow gold but moonshine gold is more subtle than the usual yellow gold seen on other watches, the combination of the gold with the green dial and bezel is just something else! It’s stunning!
Okay, that’s all, I’ll leave you all now to go save up every penny I can find to one day have a Moonshine Gold that I can call my own.
