Thanks Lee and very nice Speedy yourself! Is that some kind of new re-issue? The case style looks very retro.

It is a reissue of the Mark II which was designed by Omega to replace the original speedy and to overcome the complaints made by the astronauts about the original speedy's performance. This coaxial version was intro'd in 2014 as a strict homage to the '69. It is indeed retro as are the current moonwatches.
