Introducing my Omega Speedmaster Spacemaster Z-33

Hello all together.

Yes ... I did it ... I bought an Omega Speedmaster Spacemaster Z-33.

And as anybody know ... when you give things a name ... than it's personell.

I call her "Sputnik" ... beep ... beep ... beep ... beep ... beep ... beep ...

Why?

When I look at her from the front and if I ignore visually the crown,
than all four buttons remind me of Sputnik's antennas.

That simple.

But you want see pics ... right.

Here they come.

In the first and second photo on the left and in photos 3 to 13 bottom right you
can see the additional rubber strap that I bought so that the original rubber
strap would remain unused and especially unshortened.



At the moment I just sit in front of her and look at her.

That reminds me to the song "Can 't Take My Eyes Off You" ...
... but in the version from The Boys Town Gang (cause its my youth).

Until today I just hold her onto my wrist and touch her only with gloves.

Well ... time to wear will come ... and than I fly up to the stars.

See you from above. 💫

Kind regards

A little bit of backstory.

A while ago, I saw an Omega Speedmaster X-33 and found it quite interesting.

However, I found the arrangement of the digital displays to be less than optimal
(twisted, so that either the head, the arm or the watch has to be turned in order
to read the display).
Therefore, the X-33 was no longer of interest to me.

But a successor quickly came into my focus.

The Omega Flightmaster with the cal. 910.

I saw a very captivating video from "vintwatches" of the restoration of such a watch.

But with cal. 911.

But it didn't really appeal to me.

And then I got a link that took me to the Z-33.

And ... BANG ... caught.

From the 1st and 2nd sight I knew it.

Well, the rest was simple ... I searched ... I found ... I bought ... I have.

And I like to pronaunce.

Hopefully I'm not the only one here who can find words or photos.

Other Z-33 owners are welcome to join in.

Congratulations. It's one of the bolder watches in the Omega line up. I hope you are able to put the features to work. I have the X-33 and use the alarms and PET often to provide alerts for scheduled meetings.

Lets see some wrist shots soon 😀

Thank you for your kind words.

I'm sure I don't need the LOG at any time, cause I'm not a pilot.

The “Sputnik” look fascinates me the most and inspired me to choose the name.

The Spotniks - Telstar - 1962

At the moment, it's sleeping completely wrapped up again.

I'm still too excited and afraid I'll unnecessarily scratch the first thing when changing the strap.

And just unpacking it to look at it is enough for me, but I don't want to unpack and repack it too often.

Knowing that I can and am - as the one and only - allowed to get to it at any time is just great. 😎

An unworn watch is unfulfilled.

If someone didn't say that, they should have 😉

Wrist shots! 😀 😀

Arousal brings sweating ...

... sweating brings moisture ...

... moisture brings slipperiness ...

... slipperiness brings scratches ...

... ergo, don't get aroused.


And as the great Austin Powers always say ...

... "Behave Babyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ..."

😇

Congrats on the purchase. Where did you find a new Z-33?

I stumble on mine during layover at the Mexico City airport. They have boutiques there (also tax free) and this was their last Omega watch.

My Z-33 was brand new but they did not have the original box. It just came with a regular Omega box. I wonder if you can purchase a box from somewhere.
I tried it on the Forstner band. Looks pretty good on it. But I decided to order the OEM titanium band. Which looks super sharp in it.

Can’t cook brisket without my Z-33. Other Speedy’s can only count 12 hrs. Not this bad boy
At last, titanium band. Looks super awesome! It’s such a light watch. Easy yo wear.

I get stoped at the airport all the time and people ask me about my Z-33.

And I use the crap out of all the features. Including the Flight Log. At work, to keep track of flights. And while not flying it can be used as a third timer if you are already using the Chrono and timer functions. Pretty cool!

Hi.

First of all, thank you for your detailed and interesting comment.

Then thank you for the beautiful photos.

I discovered mine at chrono24.

The seller is in Tokyo.

He offered the watch with the "normal" kind of photos.

Front, back, sides and some details.

At this moment I didn't expected that the watch come as complete set.

When the package was delivered and I opened the box I was surprised... but also excited at the same time.

I also looked into the titanium bracelet.

But this bracelet is only available directly from Omega, and the price isn't worth it for me at the moment.

It's nice to be able to look forward to an accessory and not buy everything at once.

Even if others see it differently, for me it is still enough to just look at it and enjoy the fact that it is brand new.

I look forward to further discussions.

Is there a special pilot greeting,like "Happy take off and landing" or so?

I'm not a pilot, but I've flown or ridden (balloon) on everything except the Space Shuttle and a Jet.

Thank you for your nice comment.

Good luck with your search or “hunt.”

BTW: Nice Flightmaster you have.

This is one of my favorite watches. I still have the original iPad app that no longer available. I came close to buying a second one. The bracelet was expensive, but definitely worth the price.

I love my Z-33. One of the coolest watches I have.

The Z33 interactive iPad app is better than the paper manual, luckily I kept an old iPad just for this.

Hello.

Meanwhile the watch was sold.

My new goal is an OMEGA Speedsonic f 300 Hz "Lobster".

Unfortunenatly I can't go into the section "wanted to buy"
to look if there is an offer of this watch or place a search.

So, if anyone read this and can help me to get such a watch,
please don't hold back and send me a private message.

All details than within the private conversation.

Kind regards
Smilla
