I was lucky enough to also attend this dinner last night. As a long time vintage Omega fan, it was an amazing opportunity to handle some pieces that you wouldn't normally see, well, outside of a museum.
All pieces were presented and introduced by the very knowledgable and charming Petros Protopapas, manager of the Omega museum. Apparently he's working on a followup to the big black 'Omega Bible', which I'm sure will be something to look forwards to.
So for my first picture in my first post on this particular forum I'll kick off with a pretty special shot of the Omega trinity - 2913 + 2914 + 2915.

Or how about the first Speedmaster modified by George Daniels with a prototype coaxial escapement.

Or perhaps one of the 1947 wrist tourbillons.

Tourbillon movement. Unusual to see Côtes de Genève finishing on an Omega.

With great thanks to all at Time and Tide Watches and Omega Australia for making this wonderful evening possible.
