Love the alligator on that. A colleague is thinking AT for his first good watch, and he insists on having it on an alligator strap/deployant. He takes an agonizingly long time to choose anything, so as encouragement I ordered the components for my watch. I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I do.
He's still thinking it over. The man takes forever!
I'll second that, and as long as we're designing a new AT I'll vote we go with a hand-wound, double-barrel Co-Axial caliber 👍
Though at a certain point, doesn’t this just become a De Ville?
Re: the annual calendar complication on my AT—its quite nice only having to adjust the date once a year (most years), but I’ll admit I would prefer it if it displayed day of the week instead of/in addition to the month, which I’m much less likely to forget. But even as it is, the best watch I’ve ever owned.
Seems to be quite a few of these on C24 BNIB located in Japan. Makes me wonder how Japan has so many BNIB AT’s that were discontinued like 6 years ago.
Acquired in February this year to celebrate getting a new job, and because I wanted something a bit dressier in my collection. It's the first Omega coaxial I've ever owned and I'm super impressed by the accuracy of the calibre 8500. It's only gained 29 seconds in the last 26 days (just over a second a day).
