Im very happy to recently see more omega-posts here. It makes me feel great because i just bought an omega and i think its been a great decision and i want others to like omega just as much Thanks for your pictures. You have an interesting piece!

In Sedna Gold this Speedie looks superb! I tried it on back then and must say a very nice Omega.

FWIW, Omega makes a point of referring to the metal on this particular watch as "orange gold" โ€” not Sedna gold. [nt]

This, from : "According to Omega, they have created the new 18-karat 'orange gold' alloy using 75 percent gold, around 2 percent of silver and platinum, and almost 24 percent of copper that actually provides the alloy with its rich orange tint."

Thanks much for providing the correct answer, to which I can only add . . .
