But as they say better late than never. A 1961 Seamaster with linen dial powered by the manual cal 265. Wrist shot from the office.


Love that chronometer Art, very elegant, yet well balanced and versatile. 

Regards.

Unfortunately, I gave all my Omegas to my sister for safekeeping. So that means a complete inability to take any photos... I'll just enjoy yours

A better photo . . .

JP Brandt were dominating the Swedish market with Omega for many years! That is one of the reasons you will find quite a lot of early Speedmasters and Railmasters here... Best Blomman

Bill Bruford? Unsure which is more impressive, your Omega . . .
