Thread: New addition - Omega content inside...

    New addition - Omega content inside...

    A new addition to my collection and bit of a Marmite watch - so I thought it would be fun to post som pics of it here.
    There are actually lots of reasons why I would not like this watch -
    A messy dial, a bezel with meaningless number markings, oddly shaped chrono buttons and the fact it is part of something as cheesy as a "collector's series".

    Strangely though I am very much in love, so it must be true what they say - love is blind!

    Gentlemen - I give you the "Omega Museum Collection No 3 - The Officers Watch" (I did warn you about the name...)

    That is very cool... And the photos are superb... Does it have a plain case back or something more elaborate ??

    Cheers

    Sorry but far too much going on for my eyes! Not sure about the red 12 either.

    The red 12 is an old tradition on military timepeices, one that dates back to pre-wristwatch days.




    A beautiful dial, I can see why you love it. The only thing that grates for me is the shape of the pushers, why use the oval buttons of more modern Omegas when round pushers would suit the retro look much better.

    Solid case back (sorry no photos) with some inscriptions (modelname, serial no, logo etc) - nothing spectacular I'm afraid.

    It's nice to see something unsual. Great catch.

    New addition - Omega content inside...

    Nice and looks good on the brown leather, I like the dial, maybe the bezel could have been a little less plain?

    Nice man, not what one should first think about when you mention Omega.

    +1 to this. In fact the dial is so busy it moves beyond fussy into a whole different region.

    Needs more numbers.

    Nice to see an Omega different from the norm.

    Certainly very different.....this is what makes this forum great, seeing these watches and hearing about people's views of them up close

    Thanks for sharing

    Cheers

    Nice, I like a 'fussy' dial.
    It's interesting to see larger manufacturers drawing so much from the past.
    IWC's vintage collection etc...

    I quite like it, too.

    Mind you, I've no idea what some of the scales inside the watch mean. Pulsations - is it written in French perhaps?

    I like that very much; I also think it might look rather good on a vintage Toshi, or similar, if you can get one.
