Key Points from the Discussion
- One contributor, not typically an Omega fan, was so impressed by the unique tonneau case that they acquired one for their wife and tried it themselves.
- The salmon dial, steel Jumping Hour model is noted for its accuracy, running at +5 seconds/day with 292 degrees amplitude.
- The Jumping Hour complication is considered uncommon for Omega, adding to the uniqueness of these tonneau-cased models.
- The tonneau case model presented was the only one Omega ever produced in this shape, available in steel with a salmon dial or yellow gold with a white/silver dial.
- While the salmon dial is appealing, the overall look of the silver dial is particularly enamoring to some members.
- A contributor mentions owning the salmon dial version but considering selling it due to the date only going up to 12, indicating a potential design quirk or personal preference issue.
