26 October 2005 – What better way to celebrate ten years of partnership than to continue such a successful working relationship? Omega is pleased to announce the extension of its agreement with Michael Schumacher as an international ambassador for the brand. The seven-times Formula 1 World Champion and passionate watch collector is one of the […]

I thought it was about time I took a bunch of shots of this one, getting close to when it needs to go away for a little TLC.
Restoration is a personal thing, my view is that you need to keep the watch as original as humanly possible. On this 2915, sat in a drawer […]

Sometimes dreams do come true…
The rarest of the rare, the Speedmaster 2915 has long been on my wants list. This one has been sat in a draw since the 70’s, missing a bezel, replacement crown and maybe one incorrect sub hand. Apart from that it is as original as you are likely to ever see.

I must admit to becoming fascinated by the market prices on the pre-moon Speedmasters. This latest example tipped the scales at just over $8000, which nowadays seems a fair price, even though I think its more likely to be a 1960 than a 1959 [huge difference imho].

And now for sale on ebay, back to Earth with a bump.
The papers that come with this watch have a certificate stating that the following: “On the 1st of July 1993, 35 Omega Speedmaster Professional Chronographs were transported by the Soyuz-TM launch rocket to the space station MIR. They underwent the most stringent tests in […]

Well maybe this one is different, looks to be a reliable German seller with a mass of feedback. To be honest I’m not the worlds biggest Speedmaster fan but I must admit those Gold ones look really, really nice. Have to give the seller a one point deduction for obvious use of the Photoshop Lens […]
