The OMEGA Seamaster 1948 Co Axial "London 2012" Limited Edition
The very first OMEGA Seamaster was launched in 1948, the last time London hosted the Olympic Games. To commemorate the 2012 Games, OMEGA is launching the Seamaster 1948 Co-Axial "London 2012" Limited Edition. It is being introduced a year to the day befor...
Lose the different finishes on the hands...
I love the watch except for the different hand finishes. Either all blue or all silver would be my preference. Also lose the gold medallion. Adding gold where no-one can see it is an exercise in adding cost without value. All said, if it's a reasonable pr...
If you draw a straight line from 12 to 6...
the real estate seems to be really cramped. at the top, maybe lose the "coaxial chronometer"... or even just the coaxial. at the bottom, i'm not sure what to make of the seconds register. is it too big? while i like the hands, it doesn't seem to match the...
Too much around 12H ...
Hi Echi Yes, it just too cluttered, perhaps should lose the Co-axial and place it on the caseback. Another press pic while waiting to see the real piece...likely in Sept. Kong...
Nice!!
This one stunner! Another graceful piece. Is the crystal with the OMEGA logo? Thanks for showing. Kong
For me.......
the seconds dial is in the wrong place and maybe too small. The rest of it? Well it's OK but it doesn't grab me in the way a vintage Speedie or Connie would. So I won't be going after one - perhaps it's the Co-ax movement that puts me off - I know it is s...

Yes, this is the problem with using a 26mm calibre in a 39mm watch, it's just impossible to place the sub-dial at 6 o'clock. These cal 2202s are a jewelled-up cal 2500 and power the DeVille Prestige, which has the same subdial problem. This same calibre a...
I would have liked it like this ......
I would have liked it with the subseconds slightly lower and a larger subdial (although I guess the position was imposed by the caliber dimensions. The writing a bit less cluttered. I would have seriously thought of buying something like this. PLEASE NOTE...
Remove the Co Axial and replace it with ...
Seamaster and sign me up! Best to all, Miki
Like this ?
... yes, I thing with the large subdial looks even more proportioned BWs Franco...
"Exclusive" movement.
I have now seen two versions of this announcement. In the other version, the movement was referred to as "in-house," which, of course, it is not (it's based on an ETA ebauche). I am most intrigued by the idea that Omega's publicity department is watching ...
well not my cup of tea for several reasons even tough it is a nice reedition
Very nice move from Omega to propose a nice watch for a specific occasion but it is however not my cup of tea for several reasons: -the second subdial is too small and should have been bigger like on the original model from the fifties -the movement is ju...
