Bought a while ago and the watch arrived with this orange hand. Now just back from service at SFW. It is an Omega hand, but this must be an Ultraman Inspired watch as it is a 145.022-69.
I can totally get down with this. Maybe I'll have to add an orange chrono hand to my future speedy personalization project
I mean, I have a bias, but I like this very much. Now it's time to check if the serial dates it to fall 1970 - if so, applause
I love it. The Ultraman is definitely one of my favorites. Poor man's Ultraman makes a great daily beater IMO.
Part of me knows it's silly to pay the premium for a true Ultraman when the only difference is that orange chrono hand. But the heart wants what the hearts wants . . .
An Ultraman with pulsation bezel is coming up on auction here in Copenhagen on 1. June I believe at Bruun Rasmussen. Looks quite good. I work quite close to where the showroom is located, so anyone let me know if you want me to drop by and get a few photos, when the showroom opens. Price wise it is out of my league but would be happy to help a fellow member acquiring it From Instagram
@Spacefruit your watch Looks amazing. I'd just leave it as is. The general discussion about the orange hand on Ultramans and the archive extracts isn't new but it never fails to boggle my mind, why the orange hand is sometimes mentioned lately and sometimes not...
Looks great. I wouldn't mind building a beater one of these myself if only I could get a correct length orange hand!
