For Speedy Fans (60 Years Content)
I just came across a couple fun things this morning while having my coffee.
First, Robert Jan over at Fratellowatches blog just put up a really good overview of 60yrs of the Speedmaster. It gives a great picture and brief description of the various iterations and how they came to be. The second item of note: Hodinkee will be live streaming at 7pm ET tonight with Omega. Here is a quote from their description of tonight's event- Quote:
Either way, I thought I would share with my fellow Omega/Speedy fans. Cheers! |

Really impressed with Omega, even more than before. They are very into their consumers and fans engaging with the brand.
We also saw some upcoming releases, although no pics allowed. |

Rumor is that the Basel model is a rose gold coaxial Speedmaster. Is that true? Surprising they wouldn't release a LE pro specific for 60, but maybe it was too much with the speedy Tuesday having been announced so close to Basel.

Thank you very much for showing us some live pics from the event. Having the stream cut off, knowing the new releases were waiting upstairs for everyone, was painful!

Highly doubt it, the cat's just not out of the bag yet.

Someone else will have more specific details, I wasn't that focused on the new models as none were appealing to me. Besides, there was a whole lot of vintage goodness there which I will likely never see again! |

Here are some pics of the leather nato strap from the Omega/Hodinkee event a few months ago. I've only worn this a few times but decided to switch it up.
