New Omega to my collection

Omega Railmaster Chronometer. Fine piece. Very elegant, especially in person (pics don't do it justice). Although the face is black on first appearance it will reflect a deep royal blue on occasion, depending on the light. Here's a few pics of it solo and with the others in my little collection. Enjoy.

Very nice! The clasp is neat as well, not at all like the single button on my Aqua Terra.

That is one nice looking Chrono! Very classic and vintage looking! Railmasters have a very unique history as well, tied into the Rail system in China.

Congrads on a great watch!

Can we get the specs? in terms of diameter and thickness?

42.2mm and I can't find the thickness measurement. The nice booklet appears to be a general Omega book and not one just made for the Railmaster.

Maybe this link will work:

Congrats!
It shares the case and the bracelet with the AquaTerra Chronograph that I have.
Same basic movement too, minus the date.

Beautiful Omega! Only reason I haven't indulged in the Railmaster is because I prefer applied markers, I wish they'd make a Railmaster with applied markers, I would like to not have the date given a choice
