·Omega moon crater souvenir picture box just arrived today. Found from local auction site and paid 50 euros.
This particular set was originally delivered to Perkko Oy, the Finnish Omega importer back then.
Great find for €50 😀 I see these come around on Ebay sometimes....mostly again and again from sellers who like to think that they are €1000 worth 🤦

€1000 seems a bargain compared to this one 😀

·Omega moon crater souvenir picture box
I still have 2-3 of those boxes, in case somebody is looking for one 😀
I would like to know their sources to pretend that this box was limited to 50 examples only
Me and my circle of collectors/friends who own such a set would have more than 25% of the whole production if so 😁
There were hundreds of those boxes produced back in the early 1970s - Omega gifted all the business parters, retailers, suppliers and subcontractors with those. Obviously, like most marketing gifts - especially considering the size of that crater box - a lot of those sets have been trashed away...

My steadily growing collection of pocket knives/case openers. With a few more on the way.
I need to start looking out for another presentation tray.

·Almost yet another orbit around our yellow G-type star as another year almost passed by...
Sadly, gone are the days when one received useful "merchandise" items from watch brands.
Omega gave out 15cm wide circular cardboard "mission analyzer" scales so we could follow an Apollo mission timeline from launch, lunar orbit to splash-down back on Earth. (e.g. Apollo 8 - December 1968).
Moreover, mid-1990s Speedmaster customers were given the large size (24 by 33 cm) 160 pages hardcover book entitled " The Moon Watch ", which was available in 3 languages, about the history of the brand and the Speedmaster in particular. Softcover versions of this excellent book were freely available in Omega shops and authorized dealers.
Nowadays it's all "instagrammable" lacking significant content ! 🙁
