2017 marks the year of the Speedmaster or more specifically: 60 years of Speedmaster. Omega sent an awesome press kit last week to journalists with an overview of 60 Speedmaster watches. A very neat overview of 60 different models, from the very first Speedmaster CK2915 ‘Broad Arrow’ till the latest, yet to be released, Speedy […]
In exactly one year from now, on February 9, 2018, the 2018 Winter Olympics will open their doors in PyeongChang, South Korea. As it is now common, the official timekeeper of the Olympics will again be Omega Watches. Indeed, the Biel-based brand has fulfilled the role on 27 occasions since 1932. And because it has now become a very common practice (see the 2016 Rio Editions, here and here, or the first PyeongChang Edition), Omega will have a dedicated watch to celebrate the event. With the colours of the South Korean flag as an inspiration, here is the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m PyeongChang 2018 Limited Edition.
Omega and their Speedmaster Apollo XI limited editions. Some people love ‘m, others frown their eyebrows when Omega introduces another commemorative edition. Since 1969, Omega creates these Apollo XI editions and you could say that they are a recurring ‘limited edition’ since 1989. Every 5 years there’s a Speedmaster Apollo XI to be introduced. Next one […]
Today on Speedy Tuesday, we’ll return to a watch we’ve reviewed before, the Omega Speedmaster Apollo XI 35th Anniversary limited edition. Why is that? First off, selfishly, I get to spend time with one whenever I visit my parents because my father owns the watch you see here. But more importantly, and more germane to events […]
It is Speedy Tuesday! Today we feature the OMEGA Speedmaster Pro Apollo XVII 40th Anniversary. A Speedmaster that has been linked to the last man on the Moon mission. Our regular Speedy Tuesday contributor Darren Townend submitted one of his Speedmasters for today’s topic. A wonderful silver dialed Speedmaster Professional with a special engraved caseback.
Last Tuesday, we saw how the latest limited edition Speedmaster – the “Speedy Tuesday” – was sold out within three and a half hours. It is quite a mean feat, considering each of the 2,012 pieces comes with a price tag of S$8,400. But it does prove that the appeal of the Speedmaster is simply…
The new Omega Speedmaster Automatic. It’s essentially the same watch, but with a new dial, color theme design and a perforated strap. At first glance, the seconds track on the periphery of the dial looked very much like a checkerboard pattern on the race tracks. Although it is not the most pleasant visual stimuli, the design is still pretty…
Even before the SIHH 2017 starts, Omega announces some BaselWorld 2017 news. Besides the Speedmaster Speedy Tuesday limited edition, they announce the Speedmaster Automatic Racing Dial and the Speedmaster Automatic 38mm. We will cover the ladies 38mm model at a later stage, but let’s have a look at the Speedmaster Automatic Master Chronometer with racing […]
Baselworld is still a good three months away but Omega is already offering a peek at what it has in store with a pair of new Speedmaster watches (that come just days after the online-only Speedmaster Speedy Tuesday). First up is the Speedmaster Automatic “Racing”. The black and orange dial is characterised by square orange […]
