The new watch retains the orange central seconds but matched with a black and orange anodised aluminium bezel. Fun Ultraman references can be found on the 60-second sub-dial at ‘9’ where a secret silhouette of the beloved Japanese character is revealed by shining UV light from a lamp attached to a strap changer modeled after Ultraman’s Beta Capsule.

Meanwhile, the first three minutes of the 30-minute chronograph counter at ‘3’ sport an orange hue alluding to the length of time Ultraman can remain in superhero mode. The watch comes in both Nato and leather straps.

This highly collectible special edition is a nod to an online community that grew out of #speedytuesday started by Omega Speedmaster devotee Robert-Jon Broer of Fratello Watches blog.
