The watch uses a signature 42mm Speedmaster case, complete with its slightly twisted lugs, substantial pump pushers, and Omega-signed crown, being differentiated via its polished 18k Moonshine Gold bezel complete with polished black ceramic insert with an OMEGA Ceragold tachymeter scale. link On link the wrist, the watch wears the same as previous iterations of the Speedmaster, which is to link say extremely well-balanced both in terms of physical weight and emotionally appealing style.
The brand didn't release any specifics on the composition of the special titanium link alloy, but link it link does mention that it is used for aerospace components, turbine elements, and high-performance automotive parts.
While the midsize Overseas is thinner than the 41mm (9.3mm vs. 11mm), I feel it loses some of this elegance. To be clear, I'm not sure there's a solution – it's difficult to link get that same shocking thinness when a watch is 34.5mm. Not to mention, it's probably a non-trivial technical accomplishment to make an even thinner movement if you want the midsize link Overseas link to maintain a robust, full-rotor automatic caliber – the cal. 1088/1 inside is already just 3.83mm.
The placement of the bridges seems thoughtful, highlighting the working link parts of the movement through a nice round architecture. And with the "50th" on the rotor gone – the font reminded me link of branding link for a NASCAR race – the watch is a bit more refined.
Readers, I am pleased to say link that after a long and bumpy ride, link we have come full circle. The watch gods have answered my prayers: The 41mm Chopard Alpine Eagle has been made in yellow gold link and I can't quite believe it.
