    Thanks. Even more interesting than a leather dial.

    Medium duo for me - I want that watch myself.

    There’s several members on this forum who could do a lume job for you, if that’s what you really want.

    There's only one thing worse than a rectangular watch IMHO. That's a rectangular watch with a California dial, and/or a green dial.

    This is the shape I am angling for.

    This along with the Explorer1 and the Freccione would be enough for me.

    I think it is just perfect.

    It’s the serial number of the megaquartz module/movement within.

    Matching serial number…still running & still extremely accurate after 45 years.


    The movement is rectangular too..

    An article from Playboy December 1975 has the Marine Chronometer at $1850. The same year retail price for a 5513 Submariner was $355, a 1019 Milgauss was $370 and a 6263 Cosmograph was $500. According to the inflation calculator, $1850 in 1975 would be $9560 today.

    Indeed. You could buy 6 Omega Speedmasters for the same price as one OMC. They’re cheaper than a single Speedy now. The danger is if the megaquartz module fails. There’s not many spare ones left & I believe they’re around £1000 for the module. Spare modules are already 45 years old & just as likely to fail the next day as any other. It’s one of my favourite watches & probably attracts more comments than any other in my collection.

    P.s. great advert from Playboy, I hadn’t seen that one before.

    Ones I owned were bought for restoration and sold, but had some Omega T17's, Longines 9L's and one IWC

    Had the pleasure of holding this one in person a number of years ago. No idea on why Lange canceled it

    I've always liked the Eterna 1935 rectangular watches
