The chronograph is arguably the most useful complication we can carry on our wrist. Next week marks the 44th anniversary of the Apollo 13 mission where a simple mechanical Omega Speedmaster was used by Jack Swigert to time a critical 14 second course corr...

Always a possibility but unlikely
By: Iceman : April 5th, 2014-15:48
The sz is not suitable to the looks. Its a classic watch but with a sports watch size. Plus its flat which makes the watch feel even larger on my wrist. The dial is one of the most beautiful thou. Sad Iceman
