May I suggest a 910 . . .

. . . instead of a tropical 911 as the next target? Stealthy, without constantly running seconds: the dial springs to life when the chrono's activated. And the black/green 24 hour indicator? Sublime!

When you add up the capabilities of the 910 - chronograph, GMT, internal rotating bezel - and throw in the heritage of the movement and design, it's hard not to conclude this is the coolest Omega of them all. It's slightly shallower than the 911, too . . . better suited to smaller wrists, and more pleasing proportionally.

For many years, a 910 was at the top of my list. Recently, I'm finding myself drawn to simpler fare, and correspondingly less attracted to sports/tool/dive types, so it's fallen off its perch. Still, under the right circumstances, I can see adding one to my Omega collection.

Congratulations on the acquisition, Jeff. Finding one with original cadmium yellow hands and intact pushers and crowns is quite a feat.

Omega Flightmaster: The Pilot's Watch for the Supersonic Traveller

By: DrStrong : August 19th, 2014-05:26

I have a deep love for Omega sports watches and I always keep my eyes open for nice examples. But this time, the story of my new purchase is unusual… as I was not looking for this watch at all !! I have always considered the Flightmaster as a weird object...
