Team, Let me try a with a watch that I choose to have dinner last night: The Olympic Official Timekeeper is part of a trio from the Omega Specialities, limited to 188 pieces. This one is the reference 522.53.38.50.04.001, in white gold. The case is classi...

By: nilomis : February 22nd, 2018-04:57
I'm from the time that Omega had the reference number. This large number describes not only the watch, case material and even the strap and buckle. Not practical. But there are more creative ones, like JLC that uses not one number, the one that is engrav...
This Olympic Omega has one of most unusual

Gorgeous salmon Olympic dial Mr D. Very nice 👌

Well, I’m not a chrono collector but I can play with at least two watches in my collection. My Breitling Spatiographe Montbrillant and my FPJ... Chronometre Bleu (yes, I’m in the thematic with this one 😉). Best wishes Alkiro ...
the CB really is a stunning watch.

I reply no 😉

I was talking about the “Olympic Chronometre Suisse” with the salmon dial. Not the GP 😉 Sorry I didn’t understand your first sentence. My FPJ Chronometre Bleu is not qualified? Best wishes Alkiro
Ok thanks 😉

. . . came in yesterday's mail. Hardcore Ω-philes will recognize the significance immediately: nearly 100K Connies issued with a cal 505, likely under a thousand Seamasters. I've seen maybe ten in the last ten years, in every variation - steel (Bill Sohne...
Not sure I can fit a dozen into one pic . . .
By: Dr No : February 23rd, 2018-08:18
. . . but I'll give it a shot when they're all together, hopefully within a few months. Still waiting for one to return from service, and this one will be going to my watchmaker next week. Best, Art
I'm on a roll! . . .
By: Dr No : February 23rd, 2018-08:11
. . . three in under twelve weeks . . . that's a personal best - or worst, depending on your point of view.
I believe most cal 505 Seamasters were American issue . . .
By: Dr No : February 23rd, 2018-12:52
. . . based on my experiences - all were Norman Morris models save for one or two. And I only recall having seen maybe ten altogether. So they probably weren't seen often outside the US. Uncommon here, rare everywhere else. Warmest, Art
The beveled outer section of the dial is the same color . . .
By: Dr No : February 24th, 2018-13:06
. . . as the inner section, it just reflects light differently. A slight change in position results in varying shades between the center and rim of the dial. When it comes to two-tone Ω dials, the Japanese market Connies of the late '60s . . . . . . first...
I just spent the better part of an hour reviewing our Omega forum . . .
By: Dr No : February 24th, 2018-12:29
. . . and found only one reference to a cal 505 Seamaster chronometer, appropriately from Bill Sohne nine years ago. Gold capped, and likely cased in Switzerland, judging by this image. Reams of posts relating to bumper SM chronometers and '60s 551/56x/75...

the milanese bracelet is good. the NATO strap colors don’t work with this watch. glad it did not cost much. 😁
thanks Abel! HAGWE! 😁

Interestingly enough, these have the two ETA workhorses as well. Modified 7750 in the Sinn and a chronometer grade ETA 2824 in the Doxa. It was difficult to get a good view of the dial with the rubber strap on the Sinn, however it is a beautiful strap to ...

I think that Doxa is super-cool

Wasn't Leonidas a manufacturer . . .
By: Dr No : February 25th, 2018-12:21
. . . in the narrower sense of the term, designing and producing their own movements? Never seen one in the metal . . . any chance of sharing a movement image? Thanks, Art
Yes, you are right, they made chronograph movements
By: nitediver : February 27th, 2018-02:56
and were therefore considered a competitor to Heuer. I believe the movement on my Leonidas is however a Landeron 48, but i am not 100% certain. I tried to open the case back but failed, have to see my watchmaker. regards Stefan
Oh, please don't make a special trip to your watchmaker . . .
By: Dr No : February 27th, 2018-12:41
