... hand set. Overall a very elegant and classic presence on the wrist.

Its movement 3203 has been subject to some critics among aficionados (it´s the same movement used for the Speedmaster 1957/2007 50 Years Commemorative model) but I personally had no problems with it in any of these two watches I own in my collection so far.

In any case it is a beautiful watch I like so much and you have captured in all its glory in your stunning photographs.

Mine says Hello! and I wish you much enjoyment with yours.

Best cordial regards, Abel

Omega Specialties Museum Collection - The MD's Watch

New to me. Something different from my Speedies. ...  

Super!

I can imagine carrying a vintage doctors bag, wearing a bowtie, coat and bowler hat. And this will complete the look. Other watches good for the vintage MD look are 1) Rolex Cellini Prince (the rectangular doctors watch) 2) A deadbeat seconds watch 3) A f...  

I'm not sure how useful a pulsometer is, but it's cooler than the more common tachymeter.

I can't imagine palpating a pulse and pressing a chrono pusher without taking the watch off and holding it like a stopwatch.

Good question

 
 By: Cookies : August 10th, 2022-15:29
One can use his left hand (if the watch is on the left), the palpate the pulse, and the right hand will be free to operate the pushers.

Yes!

I vaguely remember thinking through this in the past and coming up with the same approach. I suppose it becomes second nature to those who actually use one in practice.

Actually there could be a better innovation

 
 By: Cookies : August 10th, 2022-19:13
A deadbeat zero-reset monopusher. Ok, in these days, they rely on electronic devices to take the pulse. But if one has to go analog, yes any quartz watch will do. To go fancy and real fit-for-purpose in an analog way, would be a zero-reset button where th... 

Any chronograph also provides a second hand that starts at zero.

Although it's fun to think about these, I think the best solution is simply a watch with center seconds and precise hour (5 second) markers rather than numerals without any tick marks. It's easy to wait for a 5 sec period and count for 15 sec.

That’s right

 
 By: Cookies : August 13th, 2022-11:32
15s intervals are a great solution.

That’s how I would use it.

It would certainly draw attention to the watch as well.

The 1815 chrono certainly!

I am an MD and my father (also an MD) gifted me with a 1815 chrono boutique edition to celebrate graduating medical school. Such a meaningful and beautiful watch.

=D great gift!

I have a few friends in this field who have been drawn to Lange. A cardiologist from America with a lange pulsometer, and a anaesthesiogist from Singapore with a Richard Lange. But they never wore it to work for fear of damaging/losing it during critical ...  

Counting for 15 secs and multiplying by 4 is the typical way to assess heart rate and respiratory rate.

 
 By: biw : August 12th, 2022-11:14
That is why everyone's respiratory rate is charted as a multiple of 4 - 12, 16, 20, 24 etc.

That is one of my Grails!

One day I'll gift myself. Also, one day it will be one of my son's.

Stunner! I love it!

It is one of the nicest museum series. Yellow gold case with brushed flank, very nice.

 
 By: hoseachandra : August 8th, 2022-16:19
38 mm case size is perfect too. Too bad the price is out of my league.
