Pistol Pete showcases his Omega Hour Vision Annual Calendar, emphasizing its 'Omega magic' and the symbiotic relationship between its case and the Caliber 8601 movement. His detailed photos invite readers to appreciate the watch's subtle yet profound glory.
This is a precious watch. Nothing explains the feeling of wearing this masterpiece from Omega. It's what Omega magic is all about. The superlative case illuminates the stunning movement and seems to suspend it in pure light. The cal 8601 is the finest series produced movement on planet earth and it deserves nothing less than the Hour Vision treatment. The case is all about the movement, to highlight and celebrate it. Never has there been a more symbiotic relationship between case and movement. The watch has a quiet confidence about it and doesn't immediately show its true glory at a superficial glance. Its only when you hold it it your hand, and examine it, that suddenly detail upon detail is revealed. At this point also, the true nature of the case shows itself
_PURE OMEGA MAGIC. Please enjoy the photos to the maximum. I did it for you guys.

i would like to see it in the flesh though
After I sell my old SMAT co-axial 2500C movmement watch, I may go for the AT with the 8500 movement. I like the full bridge on the balance wheel, etc. =:^D
Thanks for sharing those.
i know i love vintage Omegas, but i also like some of the new Omegas. this has to be the nicest new Omega on the market, apart from the Central Tourbillon RG/chocolate of course. i've had the pleasure of trying that on in the flesh, but still waiting to see an hour vision available for me to slip on my wrist. the attention to detail on the case with the glass sides is excellent and gives you the chance to view parts of the superbly finished movement that you wouldnt normally get to see. i also l
I feel the same way with your overall verdict. I'd rather not have the 'annual calendar' text on there but the watch is nigh on perfect. It's next to impossible to get a new watch without excessive writing on it. As an owner, you just accept it the way it is and live with it. As you can imagine, that's not too difficult to do. I tell ya, of the watches I own, the most egregious example to me is the Daytona, with the silly, 'superlative'. There is no rating called, 'superlative chronometer'. I've
hi Pete, you'll probably not like my opinion on what speedmaster to get after your earlier comments on vintage watches, but if you like the 321 movement above all else buy a vintage speedy. i personally dont think there is a modern speedmaster out there to compare with them. also if you've lost the bug for the daytona dont keep it just because others see it as the top sports chrono. if its not right for you then there's no point owning it. you could probably get a very good speedy 2998 if you se
