You mean as in....

the medial magnetic resonance image? I had no idea that they came out with a Seamaster like that! I love the second hand detail.... Thanks for the wristshot, Filip

Yup, that Aqua Terra with bumblebee seconds hand . . .

. . . represented the first implementation of Omega's magnetism-resistant movement technology in a men's watch. It made quite a splash when it was introduced eight or nine years ago. The next one issued was a ladies model, if memory serves correct. 🧲

Great learning point!

I'll eventually get a book on Omegas in the last 10-20 years! Cheers, Filip

Nice shot of the bumblebee. It’s definitely the first with 15000 Gauss resistance.
