    In JTT there are about 5 pages with small pics and a short description of several references with the 321 calibre like in my pic here:

    Yep, an updated 2019 edition of The Moon Watch would be good, but have not heard anything so sadly unlikely now - maybe on the 50th of Apollo 13...

    I was lucky enough to find a hard copy of the original book today at a collectables fair; had a little bit of damage so was able to haggle it down to AUD $20. It’s very impressive with great photographs - though a new version would have to edit the ‘Only Watch worn on the Moon’ text...

    Is the Omegamania 2007 catalogue worth buying at about $95 which has been offered to me? I am interested in vintage Connie's and Seamasters (dress watches).

    Can be found in PDF and is not without flaws. However: still nice for reference.

    I highly recommend @mac_omega 's 718414-5a28f4e026f777f6ceb4ecfd3b7f453e.jpg IMG_20190528_170522_362.jpg


    An Instant classic for me & the deepest literature on one of the brand's most fabled movements.

    Just picked this up. Wow! Must have been a mind-blowing event.

    Great reference for all things Omega.

    Looking like a great buy now, most recent U.K. sales are £600 or higher.

    moonwatch only and flight master only are very good reference books but obviously a targeted range of watches.

    the online archive at omega itself can be a useful tool to peruse. not all models have photos , and some are better resolution than others , but if you want to browse to discover certain models , movements or styles then it can be a free resource to both open your eyes to other models or narrow down your search. I wouldn’t rely on it to compare a potential buy against but it has its uses.

    That's a sure path to madness.

    I also have the catalogue! Definitely worth having as an Omega reference! The picture quality is very impressive.

    Hi, just managed to secure a copy of a JTT after 14 months of searching. They can be bought and not for massive amounts. I paid £400
