The king is dead. Long live the king!

When we heard the news that the Omega Moonwatch 3570.50 has been discontinued, we couldn't believe it. It was too ridiculous to believe. Why would you discontinue your most iconic watch? So we had to have a chat with the Omega Boutique in Sydney and it turns out the 3570.50 is no longer in production.

However, the new Speedmaster Professional is now available and comes with a Ref. 311.30.42.30.01.005. Below are the photos of both Moonwatches.

So what is the difference? If you can't spot any, then you are almost right. It is basically the same watch with a different box and a new reference number. It also comes with a new price tag.

For the first time in many months, I am speechless.
