X-33 Cancelled
In summer 2006 Omega announced that the Speedmaster Professional X-33 would be discontinued for retail sale. Shortly thereafter however it was determined that the X-33 would remain available to space agencies like NASA and would remain in service for NASA space flight missions. It also still remains available to military aviators under under the Military Pilot Program.
While Omega never provided explicit reasons for discontinuation there was much speculation (as always!) among enthusiasts and collectors. The namesake NASA X-33 program had already been cancelled in awkward embarrassment years previously despite massive spending, and unfortunately for Omega it was growing difficult to maintain credibility selling an "Astronaut's watch" bearing the same tainted name. And despite the aviation and space pedigrees the X-33 was never a blockbuster seller in the regular retail market, with pricing perhaps among the biggest reasons for slow sales. At its price point (MSRP about US$3400) it was relatively expensive for a sport or tool watch when similarly-featured models from competitors like Casio could be had at a fraction of the price. And though technically superior and well-matched to its intended space and flight applications, quartz technology can unfortunately be a hard to sell to consumers at those prices, especially with the misgivings about the X-33's accuracy. And though quite functional quartz lacks the prestige, sentimentality, and nostalgic tradition of a traditional mechanical movement, something consumers who would spend such a sum on watches still seem to desire in a what is still a "luxury" watch.
In spite of the more recent resurgence of popularity among enthusiasts now that unavailability affords the X-33 a relative degree of exclusivity, during its production lifespan the lack of enthusiasm was not confined to the regular retail consumer market but shared by many watch enthusiasts. Many enthusiasts remained unimpressed by the quartz-controlled movement and dull LCD-grey dial, and some Speedmaster aficionados objected vehemently to the use of the vaunted "Professional" designation on the dial of a quartz Speedmaster. In the eyes of some the X-33 was regarded as a drastically overpriced novelty watch driven by what was still "just" a bohemian quartz movement, especially after questions about build quality and accuracy shortcomings arose.
While titanium's lightweight and anticorrosive properties might arguably make it a nearly ideal material for wristwatches from a technical standpoint, titanium remains expensive to refine and notoriously difficult to machine and work with. The matte Titanium Oxide finish makes titanium very suitable for a flight watch where glare and reflections might be a distraction, but it also means the watch lacks the flashy "shininess" of traditional jewelry metals and the reassuring heft of steel or gold, something many consumers unfortunately seem to want in a watch they are about to spend thousands of dollars on. And when a Casio G-shock with similar capabilities could be had at a fraction of the price, it was become difficult to justify the expense to the consumers.
Finally, perhaps the X-33 seemingly does not fit well within what seems to be Omega's nascent premium up-marketing strategy. Despite a decades-long tradition of Omegas in space, Omega's recent up-branding efforts in concert with the development of the new in-house/in-town/in-family calibers with their exclusive co-axial escapements would seem to diverge with what is "just" a lowly quartz watch.
There were also darker speculations that the X-33 was discontinued under the spectre of rampant quality and longevity shortcomings and alleged NASA complaints about durability. While these rumors have been neither confirmed or denied explicitly, the multitude of problem-free X-33s in owner hands and indisputable evidence of continued and ongoing NASA and international space usage would seem to discredit such speculations.
At present no new stocks of X-33s are being shipped from the factory through regular retail distribution channels. Occasionally, an Authorized Dealer may still have old remaining unsold stock available but this grows increasingly rare. If they can be found on AD shelves, Omega has repeatedly stated that just like any other Omega model, any new X-33 purchased from an AD will be covered by the full 2-year international warranty from the time of sale even though the model has been discontinued.
