·Evening all
I had a few of my watches out tonight and was comparing two of my favourite pieces, debating if perhaps I should let one go (which I have since seen sense on).
It occurred to me they were almost 10 years apart in age and when comparing the two it made me realise what an enormous polar shift Omega made in the space of a decade. Moving from their Chronometer 18K pie pan to the 18K Megaquartz stardust.
This was a monumental leap in technology, the Megaquartz 1510 movement was developed in 1970, accurate to just one single second per month compared to the Pie Pan, accurate to circa 3-5 SPD (on my wrist).
The case on my Pie Pan is a UK made Dennison example (IMHO simply the best of the best), dating to may 1965 (the magical 10000), the Megaquartz dates to July 1975. Both supremely well made (the case on the Megaquartz weighing an enormous 95 grams) but what a totally different pair and completely different vision by Omega of how their flagship lined looked in just the space of 10 years.
Anyway, here they are:
