Omega

I always had mixed feelings on this Watch. When I saw the official pictures, I fell in love with it. When I saw it in the real, I was disappointed. Well, it was some 3 ( 4? ) years ago... I had the opportunity to see it again, today, and I must say that I...  

thanks for sharing. I never knew they made a watch like this. I can totally see myself wearing this down the slopes of Whistler =P

Some two or three years ago, I was offered the mighty original, and I took too much time giving my answer. I would have loved to get it! Very " décalé ", indeed, compared to the image we have of the Speedmaster. Thanks for your answer! Best, Nicolas

like the almost solid white on the face and band here, or the reds and yellows of the Schumachers, great things often follow. I love this one, and the strap adds a great dimension.

I don't think I've seen that before

. . . you're finally falling for Omega. :-) Yes, and Bill and Jeff, too ;-) . . .

CK 2913 Fuerza Aerea Del Peru, CK 2042, Omega 33.3, one manual Chronometer, CK 2915... Easier, CK 2777, you see, I am in big trouble... Best, Nicolas.

. . . much less seen one. Do you have an image that can be shared?

Here is one of them... Damn cool Watch! Best, Nicolas. ...  

. . . that was re-issued in the not-too-distant past under the Museum Collection. I wasn't aware of the reference number, Nicolas - now I know.

. . . of the Museum Collection.

. . . the designation would be ref 2 0 42. ...  

Can i have two please ;-) ? Bim

. . . that invents time machines! Let me know when you go back to 1938 - there's a few items on my list, too ;-) . . . ...  

When thinking of Omega watches as a whole, one that really stands out beside the ck2077 after having contemplated the early pieces of the Master series. Best x

.. near Place Vendome and you saying "Let's move on, i don't want to see that horrible watch" .... :-) :-) :-) I kinda liked the looks from the beginning but since there are so many variations of the Speedmaster i'd put my Euros on a few others :-) Don't ... 

Watches ??? ;-)

... since it unites everything I always demanded for a perfectly legible watch: white dial, black hands with luminous material, and the idea to give the subcounter hands a triangular "counterweight" leading the eye towards the tip is excellent. Too pity t... 

The very first owner of one of these was Jim Moose. For those of us fortunate enough to know Jim; imagine him actually wearing this watch? However we know he did own a few other SpeedO's ;-) OK, quite a few!

Jim had one when he came to visit in 2009. Hard to believe he brought a box full of SpeedO's ;-) Would that one have been an original? Maybe I should reach out for him?

Some pics! All the best, Miki. Nicolas

i just love the look of the watch, but some owners have commented on the finish on the dial not being that good. what is your opinion of that statement? perhaps one day i'll get one, but my white dial speedy auto reduced is fulfilling the white dial speed...  

i remember it being earlier than that perhaps 2008? i got confused as i believe the original dated from 1970 and havent looked it up in the book as i'm just plain lazy. i always thought the original was a prototype designed for working in sub zero tempera...
