Its still ceramiche, "Liquid Metal" is the OMEGA trade name...

I hate that they do "limited" anything; another gimick...

I don't think ROLEX will be seriously hurt, but I do believe some of the smaller players had better watch out when these two titans struggle. 
Good observation STEELINOX.

I believe this is exactly what OMEGA has done, and as the GMT has been a huge success, OMEGA is jumping in the ceramic pool too...

IMO, not a fan of the omega co-axial movement thingy... read something about it but didn't attempt to know the details.. if i remember correctly, it's short of a "gimmick" (sorry for the lack of a better term) and that it was "offered" to rolex and they didn't even bother with it (i hope i'm getting this right...)... it's not that it's "bad". but if you put in the price into the equation (as well as the valuation of Omegas), for US$6,800, i'd rather have a rolex on my wrist...
hope i didn't offend anyone.. again, just my opinion... |
You will NEVER see this OMEGA go out the door for this much, try about 1/3 off the top to start...

As to the lineage of the watch, the broad arrow hands date to the 1950s; here's a pic of a vintage Speedy with the hands. |
I had one of the first RADO DiaStar's; an excellent piece that kept great time and was indestructable.
The arrow hands are very cool retro...
