Wierd. On my iPhone it opened the familiar page and one second later re-routed to a different page:

I guess since they're cutting off parts supply to independent watchmakers, they're abandoning collectors in the interest of selling new watches...

Tried it, same result. Maybe it's an iPhone thing, or the fact I have an Omega app installed (that I never visit.)

That link works fine for me on my Win 7 PC.

There's something in a script that automatically takes iPhone users to the Omega mobile site, which doesn't have any link to the Database.

Omega can be so clueless sometimes...

Been using the same old link on my Mac for ever since they canned the older (and better) database.

Must be an iPhoney problem.

I'm having the same problem from my iPhone. Everything's works fine on the computer.
Anyone has a working script?

You need to go to the bottom where it says something like 'view Classic site', then reopen it.

I am not a big fan when a website forces a redirect to the mobile version. Even when you switch to the classic view on the iPhone it continues to redirect to the mobile site. I can't tell you how many times this has frustrated me when I have wanted to research a case reference on my phone.
I think Apple made it so the vintage database is only visible on the Apple Watch 😉
