i remember passing one up when they were in production
at the time i had a full range of speedmasters, about 10 in total including auto schumacher ltd editions and the MK2/3/4.5.
i dont really know why i passed the rattrapante up, probably price as it was still under warranty. it looks like a nicely built watch with a solid case, a bit like the smp 300 chrono.
enjoy it Nilo

A calm Saturday morning / Speedmaster Split Seconds inside
Team, Last Saturday I went to our weekly GTG and I was offered a not so common watch. The watch in question was a Speedmaster Split Second, a.k.a. rattrapante / doppelchronograph. It was not my first contact with this watch but, years back, I passed one b...

It's a weird watch ...
If you see it on a display, it looks bigger than a 44mm Panerai but when you put it on your wrist, the watch shrinks! It "dresses" like or better than a Moon watch. And, of course, I love this complication in special after I read an interview with Mr. Ric...
Fantastic piece. I remember how at one point in time an acquaintance of mine...
...had three of this watch in all dial variations. Your black carbon fiber is my favorite though. Thank you for sharing this piece with us. Excellent photography as usual. Ruckdee
The evidence is incontestable, Nilo . . .
. . . Omega is winning you over, heart and soul ;-) . . .
Well, if I show the next one ...
That will be a confirmation. Of course, I still keep some other brands, that I also love, but Omega seems to be the current winner. The fact in life is that where I live, an Omega watch is more simple to maintain and the maintenance/spare parts does not c...
