Unchanged Since 1957...?

[Gruntfuttock]

Hi,

just returned from a shopping trip and collected the latest Goldsmiths catalogue along the way. Inside there is a full page advert for the Omega Speedmaster Anniversary limited edition watch. Within the advertising blurb is contained the phrase 'Unchanged since 1957 the Speedmaster continues...'. As far as I know, the dial, movement, case and bracelet are all different from the 1957 model; perhaps the Hesalite crystal is the same? This is obviously some new definition of the word 'unchanged' that I haven't come across before. :lol:

Perhaps they mean the design .. not the materials or movement ..

'Unchanged since 1957 the Speedmaster continues...'. :lol:

Is this a Goldsmiths saying or is from Omega themselfs?

Hi Ben,

It is a full-page Omega advert inside a Goldsmiths brochure. The brochure also feature the same watch on the cover.

The thin line between usual advertisement and lying ... .

Moreover Omega still claims in official press information that the Speedmaster was also the watch worn by the first man in space outside a space vehicle ("space walk"). But the first man outside a space vehicle wasn't an astronaut but the cosmonaut Nicolai Leonov - wearing a Strela chronograph. I'm in doubt Omega does not know this fact ... but who cares ... ?!
