·My OB told me the delay was due to making the caseback. They phoned to explain, this was back in November, Said it might be anything up to another 10 months but then surprised me with a call to collect a couple of weeks later.
I can honestly say the photos do not do it justice. There is a depth to the silver dust which suggests several applications of clear enamel, then more silver dust and finally the sapphire crystal cover, giving a 3D effect. This is all done by hand, and from my limited experience of enamelling at school metalwork classes, turning out nearly 2,000 of these is a serious undertaking.
The OB staff were great, very knowledgable and the whole experience just added to the enjoyment of owning such a fine piece. I should add that I have no connection at all with Omega other than ownership of a couple of their finest watches (IMHO).
