路Taken while visiting Venice in July. Being a Speedy fan, I had to take a picture. It looks just like the one on my Speedy's caseback!

路路Not in LA anymore.
And there you have it (at least, as recorded in Omega's mythology on the topic 馃榾 )
p.s. : One more bit of context on this topic. Omega selected the Hippocampus as a representative symbol in late 1957, so releasing a Venice Edition in 2017 is yet another 60th Anniversary event for the year.

路I just acquired the Stainless Steel case version through Crown & Caliber without sales tax or, of course, any import duties. Full Venice AD paperwork and Omega Warranty verified by my St. Louis Boutique.

路Why a Venice Edition? Because an Omega watch designer visited Venice in the 1950s in search of a graphic element to represent the (then) new Seamaster line of watches. Many of the Gondoleri in Venice have a brass Hippocampus on their watercraft. The Hippocampus subsequently became associated with Omega's Professional-class watches. Why? Because of Venice's historic role in the exploration of the World via its oceans.

We must have hung out at the Venice boutique for a couple of hours looking at various watches and stuff. The staff were so nice and accommodating. It made for a great afternoon and a highlight of our trip to Venice.
