THE STORY
This wonderful piece earn its nickname Rising Sun due to its hue proximity to the Japanese flag. Sure, in this case, white is replaced with grayish silver and red with more of a burgundy, but it aligns perfectly well with the flag of the country that is hosting the Games in 2020. Omega has avoided going for a fully saturated dial and employed more discreet touches and an unprecedented design. This version is based on a full steel case and bracelet. The main novelty is the sandblasted light grey dial with silver-coloured applied indices and hands. Red is featured on the insert of the bezel as well as on the Speedmaster logo on the dial.
