nice. reminds me of the 35th anniversary speedy. is there a decorated back case?

to pandas !

Nope, the caseback is the standard 3570 caseback. As it is in the case of the Mitsukoshi Speedy as well.

Home time disc is 24hrs.
Local time is not, so cannot show day/night at destination

for me on long haul trips with transits in between, its useful and fun to manually ascertain date and day night right. so this typical dial more useful:

especially in the airport, with jetlag is a fun old school mechanical brain challenge to get the time right. (i always reconfirm, with the smartphone and the airport flight display board)

Finally decided on the watch for my 21st last week. It's not a GS or a Zenith, but it's

my first Omega: The Mitsukoshi Speedy. *Can't believe I've never seen this watch before. It's like love at first sight. I'm going to keep this watch and only wear it the day before my birthday in the middle of next month.

Spoiler

Released as a 300-piece ltd edition for Japan's Mitsukoshi department stall. However, there were some spare dials released by Omega. Managed to get a converted one with an original Mitsukoshi dial on a 3570.50 base with original papers, bracelet and original dial and hands. Mine looks exactly the same as the original Mitsukoshi, just that the address on the warranty card isn't stated Mitsukoshi.*

This piece is flat-out gorgeous in real-life. I just love Panda dials. I went "wow" the instant I saw it. The dial appears more silver and opaline-like than white. The dial has a unique sheen/gleam that can't be captured in photos. Watch is in excellent condition. The case does not have any scratches/dents etc. Adore it to bits. Gotta mount it on the bracelet!

GXGX. Nice Panda!
