Hello
Some time ago I saw this watch that intrigued me , It is a rather strange piece that looks like a Speedmaster but it is not an Omega , the seller info is that the case is a N.O.S. prototype made by Huguenin Freres (
the same factory that made the Speedmaster cases) and it is supposed to be a discarded by Omega prototype made in the 60´s , it is signed HF inside the caseback like the Speedmasters , and the number 2960 engraved outside the caseback (I have seen pics of several cases and each has its own number).
Finally decided to purchase and I am really happy , I think is a very attractive and special piece and like specially the turnable grey bezel (even has a dot on 9 smaller inner one) , the fact that the case is exactly as the Speedmaster one (excellent quality , I think absolutely similar to the Omega one) , the red day color and also find the Valjoux movement really nice , I bought a grey perlon and a red stripe NATO straps for it and you can also see in the photographs with a 1450 Speedmaster bracelet
It is a pleasure to share some pics with you , thanks for reading and hope you like
