After the technical aspects discussed in Part I with the visit of the Manufacture in Saint Imier, we went to Bienne. There, we could see how the watches are totally assembled, controlled and packaged, but don't expect pictures, as photos are not allowed. ...
Like you I love that white-dialed Railmaster. In essence it a Railmaster version of the military-issue Thin and Fat Arrow Omega which was made for the RAF for only one year: 1953. The Thin/Fat Arrow and this white Railmaster even share the same movement, ...
What's awesome about these dress Seamasters is that they are also resistant to magnetism up to >15,000 Gauss just like the sports models. Thanks for the clarification on the seconds hand as well. That long one looks too unbalanced.
Lots to digest in there. I'll definitely be spending some time studying the report and various pieces. I've never owned an Omega . . . and that needs to change Thanks a lot. M4
Thanks yet again for another terrific report. I enjoyed Part 1 and this is just as good. Congratulations on the superb photographs as well. Kind regards, Bob S
Dear Nicolas, your report was a joy to read. I appreciate the fabulous photos from the Omega museum. And yes, it‘s a really interesting brand not only because the iconic Speedmaster Professional. May be I‘ll add one to my little collection of hand-wound c...
I love some of the vintage Speedmasters, especially the pre moon versions. I just wish that Omega would be more careful about issuing so many “Special Editions” it devalues the brand. Just look what happened to Panerai. Thank you for the great photos. ...
CK 2915, 2998 and ST 105 002, and why not, a nice 105 003. After, there is the " sea snake " I mentioned, the Alaska Project, proto and re edition. And the latest CK 2998; blue or black. You see... Best, Nicolas
I dug straight dow to the ploprof my secret love. Comex Ploprof soooo cool to see. I known the moon is more cool but the ocean I know and love. My little comex clones. 600 between Seamster and Professional. Now my question and challenge which Ploprof came...
seen as a reminder that Omega issued some Plo Prof to the Comex. The later version can be an illustration, not the representation of a Plo Prof Comex... Thanks for your comments, Bill. All the best, Nicolas
I’m waiting for the Seamaster 1948 small seconds and like you said, Dec is the planned delivery. Originally it was sold out so I ordered the central seconds, but then was told it became available so I switched. Thanks for the tough job, my friend 😁 ...
This is a dream I wish to fulfill some day soon: visiting Omega, JLC and Rolex facilities to view their museums and to view where my favorite watches are made! I know Rolex could be not easy, but may be with the others I will be able to make my dream come...
