they have the 1948’s on the website too now...
I think it’s omega as a brand in general and the fact that most people don’t know about the historical significance of those watches. Imagine if Rolex releases some sort of trilogy reissue...
Rolex fanboy- “Check out the new Rolex trilogy release Sub!”
Regular joe- “How is this different than the current Sub?”
Rolex fanboy- “It has the word ‘Submariner’ in a different font and color!!”
Diversion from the bigger existential questions and a temporary tamponade from facing the reality of an essentially meaningless existence.
Here’s a crazy idea, just an academic curiosity... is the 60th Speedy bezel replaceable with a black one for the 2998 look? 📖🤪😁
Probably, though I wouldn't put it past Omega to have done something with the design to prevent other bezels from being fitted. Then again, you might as well just go with a FOIS instead, and fit the dial & hands. Or keep the FOIS dial and fit a set of 3594 Replica hands.
When I was chatting with the Regent OB staff they said that Omega HQ released a few more Speedmasters to the world. Also, they had a few SM1948 models that they told me Omega HQ had sent them.
Recently got a Speedmaster. In addition to my Seamaster, having naughty thoughts about getting a Railmaster to complete the trilogy.
May as well do it.
that speedy is quite possibly my fav modern (ironic) speedy. Its so different, for oblivious reasons, to every other speedy and has so much character and is the perfect size.
I thought I’d missed the rrp boat on this but then got the magic call from my amazing local omega boutique .
I strongly considered adding the seamaster, also incredible, quite shiny watches, bit of a silly comment by me, I like brushed more.
