    I think this is the first time I've ever seen one of these actually listed on eBAy, from memory (and I will likely be corrected by Al if I'm wrong) this is one of the Armin Strom contact sketonization jobs Omega commissioned many years ago (there were also some Speedmasters along similar lines). I believe its still a Calibre 1120 or so underneath that's been then extensively modified to get this look which I actually really do like for some reason, far more than on the Speedmaster.

    The price however... that could make your eyes water

    I had a brief stint with a Kenneth Cole skeleton watch as a teenager and thought it was the coolest thing in the world. Very quickly got sick of it and haven't liked the look ever since. But I actually do like this a lot as well.

    Not a Cal. 1120 - it's a Cal. 2400.

    And that is a modified 1010 or one of that family. If you look at the barrel bridge it's pretty clear it's of that family, plus the way the automatic winding looks, and on the dial side I can see the pinion that presses onto the third wheel, plus they left the quick adjust for the date there. No question it's of that family

    With the rotor removed on this 1020, you can see the similarities to the movement shot above...in particular if I rotate it to the same general orientation...

    Case is white gold, and the dial alone is $8k US for a replacement...

    Cheers, Al
