Omega

I guess I did not have these pics on here before: 2915-1 vs. 2017 tribute/heritage 60 years Speedy.

I like ´em both: one takes it more easily, the other can bear a bit more at its young age.

These are great pictures to hold on to, for those of us who have only the anniversary model to look at!

Happy to do; it is fun to play with these types of comparisons.

Just goes to show how amazingly well Omega did with the 60th Anniversary Speedmaster. Now, if only they had installed a Cal 321 as the engine...

They did indeed. And re-fitting 321 would of course have been top but I guess this is as good as it can get.

A few observations/ questions

By: TS1987 : January 25th, 2018-19:44

So the new one has a naiad crown, but the original didn't? Is it just me or are the engravings on the new one's bezel a bit exaggerated compared to the original? I would trade my '83 Speedy for either of those, if the opportunity arose elsewhere, that's a...

I try to answer these questions: ....

By: HSTE : January 26th, 2018-00:20

Some of the 2915 (and also later series) had Naiad crowns, and some did not. It is, to my knowledge, not entirely established which ones / on what criteria they would be fitted with Naiad or not, one theory is as simple as the possibility that Omega used ...

Wow. The lume of the 60th is even close to the patina of the older one..

Thanks for the side by side. Really appreciate it. Echi

There is one thing on the lume though: if something "bothers" my eye of the "tribute" then it is the fact that the lume is shiny.

True. Wish it to be a bit more faded on my RM.
