In case anyone is seeking to buy a copy of the wonderful AJTT book, I heard today that there is expected to be an updated 2014 version to be launched soon (timeframe not clear - could be weeks, could be longer).

If anyone knows more on the timing then please share so I can inform Santa's helpers!!

 

Right, besides Marco Richon who wrote the book (former Director of the Museum as well) has retired so it's hard to see someone stepping in for an "updated version".

 

Interesting - thanks for sharing. In fairness, I suspect an update or appendix wouldn't take long and the research would be pretty simple given that it presumably only needs to cover the last 7 years?

I was actually told of this at one of the Omega Boutiques but, as I say, they were not clear on the time frame which is the frustrating part hence my original question (sounds like it will be later rather than sooner!). Murphy's Law dictates that the moment I pay up for a copy of the original book, the very next day the updated version will be launched!

 

I did a Google image search and the pages in these books are simply amazing.

 

Gratuitous self promotion - I like it! ..... but only because it's for this valuable reference book.

 

Exactly - the Boutique staff may have told you this because they're out of stock on the current AJTT.

 

Buy the book now, you won't be disappointed.

 

Picked up one yesterday at the Tourbillion boutique here in Amsterdam. Paid EUR 300. They have one more copy left.

 

Expect an updated version between summer 2017 ~ summer 2019

 

Wait & see... there're at least a couple of new historical facts Omega SA wants to create clarification for once and for all !

 

Yep, like that whopper floating around the internet for years that says the Speedmaster was officially flight qualified on March 1, 1965.
