It would be a 16570 with tritium dial! Perhaps if I can stretch my budget a bit, the 16550 ;-)

Well, we don't introduce new watches for Omega. We have been working hard on these upcoming events. Milan or Frankfurt isn't too far away for the UK ;-)
For new releases, next month will be...
Thanks, much appreciated. Besides blogging I read forums as well (and sometimes participate if I can help with a topic). Although Fratellowatches.com is not my full time job (about 50/50 with my...
Hi,
We've (Fratellowatches blog) had the privilege to see the watches and the workshop in Norfolk. The thing in common with Bremont is the fact that they are English, that's correct. :)
Meridian...
Hello,
Yes, he wore the 140 in space as well as a Seiko Sports '100' chronograph (quartz operated, which answers your question).
I really can't say who's owning this Speedmaster right now, but...
The extract went via-via, not directly to the owner. Omega didn't have a clue who owns it currently :) There is also a mistake on the extract of the archive btw, there is a number missing of the SED...
Oh well, it is not in my possession, I only did some research :)
A Real Astronaut's Speedy
Hi all,
I am really excited today, as I am wearing the Speedy (borrower unfortunately) that belonged to a former astronaut (Reinhard Furrer). Also, it is one of the 56 pieces that left Omega in...
Ok ok, here is the BBQ proof :) And the proof that there were actually 4 Nauts instead of 3 on the other picture :)

Yesterday, together with some other watch nuts, we had this Gerald Genta themed BBQ. Us, being fans of Genta designed watches for a long time, thought it would be nice to bring them all together in...
Hello,
I talked to Omega last Saturday and asked them a few questions similar to yours. I thought I'd share them here, others have been answered in the Speedmaster article I've put on-line today...
Sorry my friend, that's the one watch that never leaves my collection :-) However, if it NEEDS to go, I will find you ;)
Omega-Addict is also a site of mine, but haven't touched it in the last 10...
I used to have a 15300, traded it for the 15202 (2007) and bought an additional (new) 26300 (Chronograph) because I missed the more up to date bracelet of the 15300. So, now I have both the original...
Hmm, not really. I posted it for the first time today over there ;) Another visitor might have posted some museum photos as well of course.

I got just over 50 hours with my caliber 321. Caliber 861 should do about the same, at least 48 hours.

I have a birth year Rolex Submariner 1680 and I wear it a lot. However, I wear it a lot because it is a nice watch, it doesn't give me a nostalgic or sentimental feeling. Before buying it, I did...
At least it is all in-house with Seiko :-) Seriously, the Grand Seiko line is really impressive. They have one problem though, would you spend 25K on a Seiko? On the other hand, there are also people...
A stunner! Wear it in good health!
I actually bought it to remember my friend Chuck Maddox, who sadly passed away a few years ago. Although he was a Speedmaster-guy, this Seamaster Pro Chrono Diver in titanium was one of his favorite...
Although I have different brands in my watch collections (Omega, AP, IWC, Chronoswiss, Rolex and a Linde Werdelin), I sometimes have a period only focusing on one of these brands. Last few weeks, it...
Yes, and it wears very comfortable as well. The big markers without the white gold ring really make the dial stand-out as well. This one gets a lot of more wear then my modern (16600) Sea-Dweller for...
Great looking vintage timepiece! Enjoy it!

Hi all,
It has been a while :)
This afternoon, the local watchmaker (who happens to live in the same street where I live, by coincidence.. really!) replaced my scratched and round-polished...
My wife has nothing much with watches. She told me once she liked the Tag Heuer Aquaracer (she saw it somewhere in the window of a jeweler) and I got it for her birthday. She also told me once she...
