·Hello,
This is my first post on this forum so please forgive me if I lack some of the proper protocol or etiquette.
I'm hoping someone here can enlighten me about a 90s Speedmaster Date that I came across. I'm a fan of many of the 90s Speedmaster Dates - even if the movements aren't Omega's best and they are very different from the traditional Speedmasters - there's something about these watches that I find really beautiful.
I found this Youtube video with a watch I find really interesting:
What I find really interesting about this watch is that it is the only reverse panda 90s Speedmaster that I have seen that doesn't have small minute numbers on the end of each of the 5 minute stick markers (5, 10, 15.. etc..). I find it much cleaner and more elegant without the numbers on them. The 5 minute stick markers also seem to NOT have lume on them - which is also nice since the ones with lume tend to look yellow.
There are a ton of other references that have bigger subdials and chromed 5 minute markers that are cut off by the subdials. These versions don't have numbers written on the end of the stick markers, but I prefer the smaller subdials.
Does anyone know anything about this watch? I can't find any other sign of this configuration anywhere else and if I search the references that are listed on the video, they aren't the same.
I'm wondering if maybe this is not an original dial?
If anyone knows anything about this I would be grateful to know more about it.
Thanks very much.
