Omega Speedmaster Professional 50th Anniversary LE
Yesterday evening I received a call from my AD informing me of the arrival of the Omega Speedmaster 50th Anniversary LE. I paid him a visit, took a look at the watch, out came my wallet, and now I am a proud owner of this admirable timepiece from Omega with a distinguished history.
This is the all steel version with the traditional 1861 movement. I chose this because the 1861 movement is descended from the original Speedy movement which actually went into outer space. The other pricier versions had the new 3201 co-axial manual wind movement which is totally unrelated to the original Speedy Pro. Also I did not like the sapphire sandwich case of the other versions. I'll be posting more pics later at the watch gallery section. |

That's a real beauty, Danny. Congrats and well done. We look forward to some more pics, including close ups of the caseback and bracelet (including clasp).
Thanks - JJ

Very nice Danny! The crown on the speedmasters, are these screw down or just push in crowns?

That's a beauty, Danny. I did not even know that Omega was putting out an anniversary model for the Speedy. Really a great looking watch with a great heritage.

I agree.
I would be seriously tempted if I saw one for sale at a reasonable price.

I'm tempted even at an unreasonable price. Where does one find a watch like that? What do I google to find it?

Nice speedy there! I got one as well, but the regular model, manual hexalite. True classic. Don`t wear it much `cause the hexalite crystal. Got a few scratch already. I was wearing it during the weekend. Manually winded 40 turns at saturday morning. It was keeping great time `till yesterday. Suddenly it ost like 30 mins. Is it normal for a manual watch to slow down when the power reserve is low? Also once I let the chrono running with the watch fully winded and it stopped completely after 2 hours. Is it normal?

I'm also new to the Omega chronos, so I can't really comment here. Perhaps someone with more experience and knowledge can shed light on this matter? |
