The Omega Speedmaster Flight Qualified Pilot’s Watch
Who wants this watch? www.fratellowatches.com ...
I literally wanna buy it now!!
Best Omega in 15 freaking years as far as I'm concerned. Cheers, Filip
I WANT ONE!
I too, think its one of the best if not the best Speedy releases ever IMHO
I do get that,
I mean, who the fak is looking at the date in a fighter plane cockpit!? But honestly, it doesn't diminish my love for it regardless....
Most likely....
....they won`t check their watch at all... However, sometimes things goes wrong, be it fighter jets, Cessnas or a DA62s. Am aware that there are transponders for emergencies, but for a rough and remote emergency landing, crash or having to eject, the date...
This is the first speedy I’d consider to buy.
If they would make one without that hideous date window then it’s a done deal.
Did anyone notice... "Caliber 9900 in a smaller case"
"An official document has been floating around and shared on the forums, indicating a caliber 9900-based chronograph with two counters on the dial. It is interesting to learn that this 9900-powered watch has a mere 40.85mm diameter. This demonstrates that...
Little bit of grey, dash of orange and yellow. YES, we are all in !!!

Definitely want one!
I agree with some comments, best Omega for a very long time (I am tired by most of the Moonwatch iterations, only a few stand-out). An excellent way to celebrate the glorious co-axial movement. Despite my excitement, I am a bit scared that it will be 15kU...
The brochure for military purchases....
Stated around $6,700.... Totally reasonable! Let's see what happens........
OR....
make a friend in the military, OR stage an accident, take his ID, submit to this guy Leavens - Voila!
Hopefully their reps are paying attention to what people are saying....
here and on other forums....
Hard to know what is going on in these big companies
People have been asking for years for a Flieger without date to JLC and they only did a very small series for a group of collectors, nothing else. Let's hope Omega listens... Best, E.
🤞
And also, I'm obviously likewise not paying over $8K, by any stretch of imagination, for a steel Speedmaster!
