Pros and cons guys and gals please.
Personally the aesthetics are far more pleasing than the later ones with see-through hands, what is that all about?
Apparenly they are supposed to be very reliable.

I have a sword hand 2255 and it's a watch I'll never part with. My first Omega bought pre-owned 10 years ago and I love it. Serviced by Omega about 7 years ago, but still the most accurate watch I have. I believe watch makers like the 1120 as its ETA2892 based, a proven workhorse and nice to work on (although parts are hard to get if they are not officially associated with Omega/Swatch I gather).
The Speedmaster type bracelet that tends to come with these is a nice change from the usual Bond affair, and as you suggest, the sword hands make it suoer-legible, with lume up there with the best.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...853b77b4d4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8a8ab25afb.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...dc045dc254.jpg

As far as I know, the 1120 was used in both models with the sword hands and models with the skeleton hands?
Yes, it's a mystery to me what Omega was doing....they updated the Seamaster with the sword hands model then seemed to backtrack when they discontinued it in favour of the skeleton hands. Much prefer the sword hands....skeleton just looks dated to me, even on the most up to date models.
Is that the titanium version, the 2255?
I have treated myself to the 2254. It looks and feels lovely, it just sits quietly and I don't know it is there it is so comfortable. Plus I like things that aren't quite mainstream, that smacks of 'following the crowd', I will leave that to the sheople. :occasion14:
I would put a picture up, but even at 900kb it is 10x too big... 97kb? How can that be right? The original files out of my camera are closer to 14Mb

I’ve had a few in my time and had the 2541.80.00 (quartz) version for a long time, before I got into the whole watch swap arena. The Cal 1120 (eta 2892/A2 ebauché) is a rugged movement with very good pedigree. Maybe the design is getting a bit dated esp the bracelet -
However I’ve recently bought the latest Bond NTTD and this returns to the same design and slimmer case than the 8x00 calibre of late (single barrel not double). Love it!

2 more jewels than the regular 2892.Quote:

I think the 2892 is the basis of both the dynamic iii and the speedmaster reduced.
I have had a few of those speedys and a dynamic for years.
They never let me down or ran bonkers. Good solid movement.
