Watches - another OCD problem

[mclaincausey]

Man the Tudor Pelagos Ultra is mighty fine. Finally they restrained themselves from writing a novel on the dial @Giles

Cmon sports watch makers. Take it down a notch. This looks so much better. A sports watch should tell me the basics with minimal distraction and cognitive load.

It’s a Coke bottle green GShock type of day.

I love the steel bracelet of the Planet Ocean, but this specific model looks even better on the rubber bracelet, the way it was worn by Daniel Craig in Casino Royal. I just could not bring myself to pay 400 € for the original Omega rubber bracelet, so I got myself an aftermarket version and I must say, that I'm pretty happy with it.

Omega has just released a pair of Railmaster models, which are basically no date versions of the Aqua Terra. Note the lack of text on the dial compared to other watches in their collection.

Thanks for sharing @Graeme

I like the simplicity of the one on the right

[mclaincausey]

Same. Very vintage without looking like it’s trying to be very vintage. The broad arrow is a nice touch.

[IrishHeart]

@Graeme the watch on the right is very similar to the version launched in 2003, except for the more limited text.
It’s very nice.

@Cole Love it! I have an 8500 with the gray ceramic bezel. And while I love the steel bracelet, I also sourced an official Omega rubber strap with the deployant, but I've always lusted after the in your picture. Where did you find it?

[Cole]

@Bobcat-Sig It is from eBay. I PM you the link.

New addition to the collection. I definitely have a problem

[JDelage]

Beautiful watch. I love the sword hands on this version.

I was in Melbourne yesterday, and I got to see the new Omega Railmasters.

The watch looks larger on my wrist in the photos. It only comes in a 38 mm case size; there isn't a 41 mm available, unlike other Aqua Terra models. It feels fairly chunky on the wrist. I would go for the grey dial with the centre seconds, as I think that it would be more versatile, particularly when paired with different straps.

I like it. The trouble is that Omega announced the Spirate system two years ago, which promised even better accuracy, and they haven't released it outside of one Speedmaster. I suspect that their range is going to be revamped in the next year or two, unless it's been one of those advances that didn't pan out.

Love me some Omegas. That center seconds fauxtina is a little heavy handed to my taste. I like all of the heritage inspired offerings they have put out lately, especially the Trilogy set they did a few years back. The trilogy speedy is just the perfect size imo.

@Graeme I saw them in person as well and I gotta say, the lume application was very sloppy on the models in the store. The watch felt nice but that’s a chunk of change for something that would irritate me.

I couldnt resist that little bugger, the Massena Lab x Unimatic Artemis

[Graeme]

@Heritage_Guy Omega has been doing good things with their heritage range. I like the CK 859 that they sold a few years ago, and I really should have got one.

@Anesthetist the lume looked OK on the watches I saw, but it's not as precise as some of the other Aqua Terra models. I guess it's for that "vintage charm", but it does sound like a QA issue.

That orange Unimatic is a cool watch.

[Heritage_Guy]

Some vintage Omega patina goodness.

Love Omegas
