My guess... Not in the near future. Omega came out with the 44mm Racing a few years back to keep a racing line in the portfolio. The 38mm was introduced for something smaller but more elegant. I see the current 40mm model simply going away.
I like the idea of having a 40mm Speedmaster but at the end of the day it wore smaller than advertised and felt too tall. Despite having smaller wrists myself (~6.75"), the 44mm Speedmaster Racing fit and proportions are a great improvement even though I would prefer a 42mm.

Well, Omega said they planned to have their entire line-up be METAS certified/Master Chronometers by 2020, so that (along with poor sales) could be the reason they're discontinuing it. Plus, you gotta admit, that little 6 o'clock subdial looks weird
I’m aware they intend to update everything to be METAS certified. I like that! I wonder if this model will be among the new ones, maybe slightly re-designed, or just dropped...
