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:

I wonder if Omega Designs and A Journey Through Time have plenty of cal 320 action (story and images)?
References, story material and pictures in both books. A little sample below to whet your appetite

as mentioned before... strictly Speedmaster only... and fingers crossed Omega will release an updated 2019 version of their The Moon watch book
.

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.

Thanks. I tried looking for an online copy with no success. Where is the PDF available?

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

Great reference for all things Omega.

Great catalogue, something to peruse over the festive break (even if some bits are erroneous...)

13 years on, I wonder how much some of these pieces would fetch now 🤔

Hi @Edfra, i can recommend you "Omega - A Journey through Time".
However you will probably have to look for used one. I managed to find one which was still sealed for ~250 EUR.
Its over 800 pages and 4kg heavy, is a great reference book for vintage watches.
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

Lucky you! I haven't have chance to secure one for ~6month.

Hi guys, anyone has a copy of Omega Saga by Marco Richon?
