Omega Speedmaster 376.0822 "Holy Grail" - The presence of the Moonwatch with a bulletproof automatic movement and an unmatched dial visibility.

This chart is not reliable and Jean-Michel has not updated his website in a long while. At the time of his death, Chuck Maddox was working on a much more accurate document but he didn't have the time...

Actually, this article show a cal. 861 Speedmaster. The author speculates that there might be cal. 321 Speedies from 1969 while being unable to show any example of one. From everything I've seen over...

I've never seen any. As far as I can tell, the switch to the newer movement was completed by mid-1968.

A: No. A Lemania 5100 movement can easily go up to 7 years without a service.

B: Yes. This deviation warrants regulation, as the movement can easily stays within COSC parameters when properly...

Those were made by personalized by DPW, as they still had an agreement with Breitling at the time. It's an interesting "unit pride" watch (DPW made several series over the years for the 6° Stormo...

Uh no. Omega abandoned the calibre 321 in favour of the calibre 861 in 1968. They also started to switch from an applied logo to a painted one of the dial that same year, though some transition...

Orbita winders are indeed very good. I have a Sparta model which has worked well for 7 years, and its patented system of gently rocking the watch after a single turn ensures a good wind.

On the...

Again, it depends what your definition of elegance is.

Compared to a nicely tailored Saville Row suit, a Barbour jacket may look pretty bad, and yet in the right setting it can very much be a...

This particular generic case was used by several small brands to house a Lemania 5100 movement. You've mentioned Rochemont already, but I've seen the same chronograph branded "M&M" as well. I also...

A true WIS wears anything he likes. Brand names are irrelevant.

I'd be tempted to believe Longine's slogan stating that "Elegance is an attitude", because it is to a large extent true. The very concept of elegance has evolved a lot over the years, and there was a...

Yep, that's a Chronissimo. :thumbup:

I first got exposed to this strap with a Sinn-branded one on my model 157, but it is now on several of my chronographs.

My only TAG-Heuer is actually a Lemania-powered transition model from right after the Heuer takeover by TAG in 1985.

Since then, I feel...

If I was in your shoes, I would have been tempted to mug the guy! :oops:

Seriously though, this is not the kind of watch you see every day.

It happened to me twice so far.


The first time was at the end of a job interview. Another candidate had spotted the Speedy Pro I was wearing that day poking out from under my cuff, and made...

I'm generally not into quartz watches, but this one has a special place in my heart.

Back in the 80s, it was this model that introduced me to the joys of analogue chronographs after years of...

No.

I may have very large wrists, but I simply don't see the point.

I can confirm that changing from one type of crystal to another is NOT possible on the Speedy Pro.

Your wife sure has fine tastes, Menno! :wink:

I'm afraid I can't say much about these watches, except that they are remarkably pretty and with quite a pedigree thanks to the calibre 321 beating...

These two watches don't have a specific model name.

The first one is a chronograph that Lemania assembled in small numbers with cases left over from a couple of previous contracts, first with...

Sadly (for me), many of them have now gone to greener pastures... :cry:
