My Omega Trilogy: a second review and pictures of my recent catch...
Hello friends! Last week I posted a few first shots of my just arrived Trilogy set, and I promised to take some additional shots to be taken during the week end. For those friends who didn´t view that previous post, I´ll answer here some questions made on...
Yes Nicolas! They paid attention to this little detail and this is...
... to applaud for sure. In any case the crown do not use the Naiad system but its only for looks as the crown is of screw threaded type which of course is much better for a modern diving watch. The RM crown is not screw down though. Cheers! Abel
We must be brothers from . . .
. . . another mother, Abel - exactly the same thoughts here! Yes, I'd rather have an original CK2914, but they're out of reach now, so I'm thankful Omega reissued them in modern guise. Wore the Rail Friday and Saturday, been wearing the Flightmaster since...
Ha ha ha! Yes dear Art! We must be brothers somehow! Lol! I´m happy to share the same thoughts and love for the RM of which...
... you show a superb shot. We must thank Omega for giving us an opportunity of owning such a close replicas of these three classic models of the past. Of course the vintage originals have an special charm and personality which no new watch can reproduce....
WOW! Those are some great shots!
I love how your photos show the embedded Omega logo on the crystals. My logo is heading approximately 260 degrees instead of true north. The one thing I have noticed is that you really need to take shots of these pieces in the natural light as you have do...
Hello dear Mark! Thanks a lot for your so kind comments. Appreciate them so much. It is always my pleasure to share these pieces here ...
... and exchange our views about them. These watches are not easy to shot due to the polish of their metal surfaces and the high dome of their glasses which play so much with lighting. It can get really tricky depending on the natural lightning and time o...
That is a very nicely domed glass on the RM
Have only seen the Seamaster yet and looking forward to the RM, and the chrono too. Very tasteful straps!
My dear Abel...
I know you are tired of me telling you that you take wonderful pictures of your watches. Hell, I'm tired of telling you this!. But once agin, I feel I must tell you: you take wonderful pictures of your watches. You just get better and better. And these pa...
My dear Padj: Thanks a lot for your always kind words to my posts! No, I´m not tired to read your comments... I appreciate them so much, and feel you are so generous with your words...
... and your support and following of my postings. I´m always happy to participate in PuristS though I presently I´m doing this in much less frequency that I used to and I wished to do, but hope will be doing it better in a near future. Glad you like the ...
Great owner's review and photos...
it seems all your 3 Omega logos on the crystal are aligned nicely. Some Speedmaster I see has the Omega logo rotated at various angles. Those dome shapes look bubblicious! Congratulations, Abel. Rgds Raymond
Thank you so much Raymond for your kind comments! Yes, I have seen the logos in different positions. Mine came aligned it´s true. The dome crystals are very nice feature which add...
... to the vintage look and the charm of these timepieces! Cheers! Abel.
NIce photo session.
I find this kind of post very helpful for those who may have doubts about how the watches may look like in reality, even with the chance to compare the Seamaster with the original. Thanks for sharing your beauties. Vte
Thank you so much VMM! I´m happy to know you enjoyed the post and that It can be of help to give a better idea of how these nice watches look. Of course...
... best thing is always check the pieces on your own wrist before deciding to take the plunge in these or any other brand or model of watches. The personal feeling and taste is the final judge always! It is with great pleasure that I share these pieces h...
Your post pretty much sums my feelings as well..
My interest has always been on the RM as the various iterations have never quite hit the sweet spot. The 60th almost nailed it except for the movement which I can live with although it would be really nice to wind something like this piece. I’ve bypassed ...
Hello Echi: I completely agree with your words here! Yes, the vintage road is very rewarding but also a mine field to cross with much care and risks...
You say well how these modern renditions come to our help to us watch lovers of classics of the past. All the best my friend! Abel.
Thank you for your awesome post, Abel!
I picked up the Railmaster at the end of last year because it was immediately my favorite upon seeing pictures from Baselworld. I really wanted to love that Seamaster but for some reason i can't get over the "countdown" bezel. I don't know, maybe someday ...
My big pleasure to share it here Yep! Thank you for your kind comments! I see that the RM seems to be the most popular of the Trilogy...
... It is a classic which deserved a nice tribute as this Omega is offering now with this 60th Anniversary model. Omega paid attention to many details like the Naiad type crown symbol, and also the rather strange countdown bezel insert of the first series...
Wonderful to see the two SM side by side!
Thank you for sharing your joy here, dear Abel! All the best, my friend Blomman
Thank you so much my dear friend Blomman!! It is always my big pleasure to share my watches and their photographs here! ...
... Glad to know you liked the comparison between the two SM! (I would love to be able to show all three models with their vintage cousins!! but guess it will not be possible for me now!) Thank you again! All the best! Abel
