Horological Meandering

I had one many ears ago - one of the “good” quartz movements.

I gifted it to my master and mentor watchmaker - I believe he still is has and wears it from time to time. What really amazed me is how Omega blended titanium and gold with no visible joint.

Is this from the pre bond era? 80s? Early 90s? [nt]

80s probably, even 70s. It was a gift from a cousin. [nt]

. . . unless I'm much mistaken. mrsnak has the chronograph version, which I've seen in the metal a few times over the years. Art

The one in the picture has multiple functions, including chrono. I keep it without a battery so the lit numbers can’t be seen. I know the chrono you mean, it is slightly bigger. [nt]

Almost bought one but walked just in time. Definitely of an era let’s say “Miami Vice “ era. Cazalea

I think this one is earlier

I really wanted one but it was a bit pricey and ended up getting the same watch with a white dial instead as it was on sale in store that was closing down back in 1990... no complications unfortunately as in the one you have as I could only afford what wa...
