Respectable Members Kindly advise whether this is actually an Omega Speedmaster but carries the name of Jedi. Apart from the shape of the case, is there any difference, functions-wise between a Speedmaster and a Jedi? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-197...964887616?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item20d2297c40Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network Thank-you.
It is a Seamaster and not a Speedmaster. The cal 861movement was used in both Seamaster chrono's and the Speedmaster from the late 60's onwards. Obviously the functions of both watches are the same & the differences lie in the dials, hands, cases and bracelets.
I don't think thats a true Jedi. It's a nice watch, but it's not the tungsten injected case. The Jedi is a 145.023 like this Anakin: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mint-Omega-Anakin-Skywalker-Seamaster-Wristwatch-N-O-S-/180934986713?nma=true&si=OxNSbdaGhecj3wDqhdpoK9gIH%2Fg%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network There was also a black version called the Vader.
Dennis, I'm not sure that's quite right. Maddox referred to the 145.024 as a "Flat Jedi", with the 145.023 (as in your pics) being the Anakin: http://chronomaddox.com/dimensions_selected_omega.html His pics of the 145.024 conform to the watch Seamonster has picked out: http://chronomaddox.com/omega/watches/seamaster/145_024/
Neil, that looks like it is unworn ? Shame we don't a "drool" emoticon - I'll just have to make do with this...
