I had the chance to handle one in the metal just recently. It wears surprisingly well. I would love to have one in the future.

 

Thanks @dsio for those articles : I had no idea of this Japanese version & I like those a lot.
Looks really like a modern design to my eyes (except for the 'size').

And here is the one I got from @flqt-9000 earlier this year :

Edit : I should update this pic as I do have by now the right omega 1120 bracelet, that is really fitting the watch perfectly.
Looking forward to read the articles to come !

 

Looking forward to it!!

What a gorgeous blue dial........

 

Very cool, look for add to reading all 4 parts

 

Thank you for documenting these “forgotten” references. I look forward for the part two!

 

I’m quite a fan, might have to consider adding a blue dialled Japanese variant as well

 

Very nice article, I didn't know about the Japanese variants

 

Eagerly waiting for the next installment of this series! very excited, cant wait.
always, amazing thanks to dsio for writing these in depth articles on niche yet awesome omega references

 

I’m a fan, particularly with the blue dial.

 

Seconding the thanks given for the articles! I very much enjoy the in depth look at the feature references! I'm definitely a fan of the driver version


Appreciate the inclusion of the bracelets offered for these references. I usually don't have the mesh bracelet on mine as I more often wear it with the 1118 bracelet with the 123 end links. Similar to the one shown in this German Catalog from 1969

 

Meant to post this one here a while ago - definitely a fun little thing and for a fraction of the cost of the larger Seamaster Chronostops. Once again thanks @dsio for all those articles that often cover refs that not everybody might have on the radar!

 

This is mine, Lemania branded

 

And this is my blue dial but in not in very good conditions

 

New arrival today and I'm very happy. Not sure the minute hand is original but apart from that the blue dial really does pop.

 

I also really like the vibe of these. Got a couple of them as well
