Teaser - Omega Speedmaster Split Seconds (Rattrapante)
Team,
I'm chasing this one for at least three years when a dear friend saw it during a trip to NYC.
Very limited (in special for Omega where "limited" usually means thousands and thousands) to 357 pieces, this one is hard to find and very expensive.
My warm thanks to the Omega Boutique team ("L" and "D") that chased this one for me.
Just a teaser picture. The ceramic ZrO2 dial and bezel changes color on every minute light change.
I will tackle this photograph challenge and I plan to post a full review of this one that I consider (IMHO) the most desirable modern (not so modern - 2012 if I remember) Speedmaster.
Now with seven Rattrapante chronographs (Five Omega and two IWC) I need to search for another theme for 2016 (2015 was a crazy year, for sure - I'm done!!!).
Here is a very fresh picture of my current pride and joy:
Stay tuned.
Cheers,
Nilo

Whats wrong with selling one house,
if you have more than one. With all this real estate bubble threatening to blow, maybe not a bad decision. ^^
This is
completely unknown model for me but it sure looks great The shade of gray is excellent So this was rattrapante year 2016 MR year? Cheers D
Sir...
Please clarity this old soul: What is a "MR" watch? After this roll, 2016 will be the year of vintage, the less than five quids ones!!! Cheers, Nilo
My points...
There are some watch features that I don\'t like: Minute repeaters, open dials, integrated bracelets and non standard strap attachments. Based on that, no minute repeaters for me. Yes. 2016 will be a "El Cheapo" year. Cheers, Nilo
You should change your name to Russell Trésor . . .
. . . so that we can call you Russ T ;-) . . .
Let's don't.
Art, You know well that I prefer watches that keeps good time and don't put rusty stains on my wrist!!! Cheers Nilo
Better stains on the wrist . . .
. . . than pains in the wallet. Seriously, if I'd chosen to collect from the current collection, I'd have maybe three instead of thirteen (and counting). Not to say that's a primary consideration, but vintage brings a lot to the table if you have a truste...
My criteria will be ...
To get few but unmolested ones. I love uncommon watches, so this excludes the vanilla ones. Case size is also a concern. Most of the vintage ones are too small and looks childish even on my meager wrist. I will stay away from the unrealistic priced ones (...
You need to pay attention...
Not only to the best sellers but to the ones that somehow went under the radar. This split seconds is a clear example. It was released without a major marketing campaign and with an unreal price target. I bet that it can be located, new as mine, in some p...
OMG,....I guess you don't need the Snoopy then? :))
No you deserve it, being such a good super VIP. Congrats on this really nice one. Now I have to really pay attention to Omega's releases. Rgds Raymond
Four years since...
Our Art posted it: www.watchprosite.com Time flies... Cheers, Nilo
Congrats! I never even knew this watch existed
Omega is usually loose with the term "limited edition". But your is a real LE. Wear it in good health.
Seemless from bezel to dial
Nilomis extremely nice watch and a very seldom appearance to me with my usual Speedmaster encounters. I especially like to contrast it shows on your picture and how the bezel and dial are just same color. Are the any details about the movement? Maybe some...
It's powered by a Omega 3612.
This movement, derived from a F. Piguet one, has two column wheel controlling the chronograph and the Rattrapante hand. I know that Omega movements derived from F. Piguet don't carry, at least from the Internet, a very good image but I trust more on my wa...
