X-33 Skywalker Owners - Is Yours 'Certified' or 'Qualified'?

[Mr Curta]

There is a claim out on t'internet that only the first 100 Omega X-33 Skywalker watches were manufactured with the incorrect inscription, 'TESTED AND CERTIFIED BY ESA' and that it was swiftly replaced with 'TESTED AND QUALIFIED'.

Mine is 'TESTED AND CERTIFIED' but I do not believe that it is from the first 100. I'm interested in the percentage of owners that have the various inscriptions to try to establish whether the statement is likely to be true or not.

This only applies to the original Skywalker and not special editions. Thanks for any responses.



Here's one of the articles which makes the claim: https://www.fratellowatches.com/why-...-x-33-matters/

I've just checked mine which I bought late 2020 and it's Tested and Qualified

Those are different editions:

LHS is the non-LE



RHS is the LE solar impulse:

I'm well aware of that. I'm only referring to the non LE as per my opening post.

[Mr Curta]

Here's a 'QUALIFIED' version of the non-LE, owned by another forumite.

My (non-LE) is "Tested and Certified".

It was first sold in December 2014.

My watch is Tested and Certified. Bought in April 2015.

Thanks for the responses so far. It certainly looks as though 'Certified' is more common than the Fratello article suggests.

Ok. As you can see my skywalker non-LE was “certified” - added it to the pole. Just saying the illustration in the first post was of the LE solar impulse on the RHS.
