Chaps With the authorisation of Greg and Anthony who brought us the Moonwatch Only books, I am please to offer 20 signed copies of the Flightmaster Only Book. Each book is individually numbered and signed by both Greg and Anthony. For those who bought the signed Moonwatch Only books, this is a great addition. A little text about the book. The highly evocative Flightmaster name was first mentioned by OMEGA in 1956-57, but it was not until the late 1960s that it was used to designate an incomparable watch, initially intended for aircraft pilots. At the time, it was regarded as the watch industry equivalent of the Swiss army knife, meaning the ultimate professional instrument. The aesthetically and technically remarkable OMEGA Flightmaster symbolizes a period rich in technological and design breakthroughs. Produced over a short period and relatively little known until now, it nonetheless enjoyed exceptional development and an outstanding destiny, notably on the wrist of Soviet cosmonauts in the 1970s. The authors of the successful MOONWATCH ONLY book dedicated to the OMEGA Speedmaster provide a comprehensive account of the many variations and evolutions of the different Flightmaster models, based on their original methodology. They reveal for the first time an entirely unknown and remarkably rich story. FLIGHTMASTER ONLY is intended to serve as a reference work for all passionate enthusiasts and collectors of the OMEGA brand. Price - £145 Paid in full before delivery.

The book is really well done and full of information about those cool watches. For those who still hesitate and wait for a reedition of the Flightmaster - forget about it - the name doesn't belong to Omega anymore (sold in the seventies) so there's no singe chance Cool idea, thanks for the initiative Double D
A little bump for this. I cannot get it going with what’s take so far. Should it fall through all funds sent will be refunded.
As for flightmaster Only, it’s an excellent resource, as you’d expect. But it’s also a compelling read that gives a fascinating glimpse into the creative process at Omega in the late 60s and early 70s. I’d be all over this if I didn’t already have a copy!
I'm surprised that some of those 10 misconceptions made it onto that list ahead of the misconception that only 910s came in 013 cases.
Flightmaster Only ... It's a superb book by WatchPrint with all the details & features on the Omega FlightMaster... However, if it had a few more pages with great photos of the Flightmaster's use in spaceflight, it would attract an additional audience. I know at least a dozen spaceflight aficionados, who don't have a Speedmaster (yet) but bought the second edition of the MoonwatchOnly book because it elaborates on about 20 pages about spaceflight and Alaska Project... In summary: Know (all) your target audiences and sell more books! Great photos can be found here: https://omegaforums.net/threads/the-flightmaster-thread.36423/page-13
