In 1969 Omega introduced the Speedmaster Mark (Mk) II as an updated version of the outgoing Speedmaster. It happened to be in the same year that Omega also had a few of its older generation Speedmasters make their way to the moon in the NASA Apollo 11 mission, but that of course is another story. With a newly formed case that would become an iconic symbol of the brand as well as the era, the Speedmaster Mark II will be re-introduced by Omega this year in 2014 with a modern movement but a design that is very true to the original. We even have the price below - which is lucky given how early this is being announced.
As a pre-Baselworld 2014 release, Omega has given aBlogtoWatch a glimpse of the upcoming "mid-range" priced Speedmaster Mark II models that will arrive in at least two forms. Those with a love of the more colorful Speedmasters will enjoy the Mark II with a red/orange and gray dial that is an homage to the vintage ref. 145.014 Speedmaster Professional Mark II. There is also a more monochromatic version in black and white accented with the green of luminant.
