The Omega Speedmaster 'Speedy Tuesday' 2 Ultraman

The new Speedy Tuesday Ultraman Speedmaster (named for the recurring series of Speedmaster articles, posted on Tuesdays on Fratellowatches.com) is the second partnership between Omega and Fratellowatches; the first Speedy Tuesday Speedmaster launched in 2017. The Ultraman has been controversial in the past, with many Speedmaster aficionados expressing doubt that it was authentic – it would be an easy piece to fake by simply adding the center seconds hand from a Speedmaster Mark II to a standard Speedmaster. However, Omega has confirmed that it is an authentic Speedmaster variant, though the company also says that "it is unknown how many genuine pieces still exist.


In addition to the orange center seconds hand, the new Ultraman also has orange hour markers, and a black and orange tachymetric bezel; the word "Speedmaster" is in orange as well. Another tribute to the original watch, and the TV series that inspired its name, is the hidden silhouette of Ultraman's head in the small seconds subdial at 9:00. Shining a UV light on the dial will make the silhouette appear (a UV light is attached to one end of the included strap changing tool, which is modeled after the "Beta Capsule" which Ultraman's human host used to transform into the superhero). A final nod to the original series is the minutes register – the first three minutes are marked in orange, reflecting the 3 minute time limit on Ultraman's super powers.

There's a shout-out to vintage Speedmaster enthusiasts in general as well – the bezel features a dot positioned above the number 90, in tribute to the "dot over 90" bezel used on pre-1970 Speedmasters. Omega has included both a black and orange NATO strap, and a leather strap with orange stitching. Packaging is scifi-flavored as well, Omega Speedmaster'Speedy Tuesday 2 Uitraman replica watch.

Initial Thoughts

The first Speedy Tuesday Speedmaster sold out very quickly and by the time you read this, the Speedy Tuesday Ultraman will be gone – all the watches were reserved in exactly 1 hour, 53 minutes, and 17 seconds according to Omega.


If the speed at which these and the original Speedy Tuesday is any indication, the appetite of enthusiasts for vintage-inspired Speedmasters with a perceived strong connection to interesting vintage models. The Speedy Tuesday Ultraman will sell for a premium over the cost of a standard Speedmaster Professional: $7,100, and you can still register for one in hopes that someone who reserved theirs already will pass.

While the numerous Speedmaster limited editions inevitably are the target of a certain amount of snark, it's also true that it's a commercially savvy way for Omega to keep the Speedmaster, in all its Moonwatch and non-Moonwatch iterations, part of the current narrative of the company, rather than part of its past. The original Speedmaster Professional remains one of the last great bargains of modern mechanical horology, at $5,250 in steel but of course, as a single model the Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch would be a charming oddity rather than an ongoing part of the modern company's identity.
