Thank you dear Captain!! Though I´m not a fan of quartz or digital watches, I would love to have an old model X33 which I never have seen in the metal here in my hunting grounds...

... but may be I will go for the present model anyway to complete the collection. Indeed the case finish and bezel have been improved.
The watch represents a development in the Speedmaster family has many interesting features (complications?) included. Oner which fascinates me is that pushing one of the buttons sets the analogic hands in a position to clear the reading of the digital panels to facilitate viewing them. Then pushing the button again the hands reset automatically to the correct time again!
Cheers! Abel

I looked at the “old” X-33 as you know I love the heratage of the Omega space watches. The new model has been significantly improved especially the bezel and the case finishing.
I agree...

It’s definitely a part of space history.
