    Since the successful launch of the Speedmaster ‘Speedy Tuesday’ limited edition, quite a bit of people asked us about the radial dial. Although Omega already had a radial dial in one of their watches in 1966, it wasn’t used in the Speedmaster Professional until 1973 with the Alaska Project II. Let’s have a closer look […]

    Cool :) Thanks for sharing! Only comment is, you might be over-estimating the schnitzel's popularity in the area ;)

    I know a great schnitzel please in the old town of Bienne, which isn't really a schnitzel place but a South American restaurant with great schnitzels.

    Its a crazy world I tell you, I once went to an irsh pub in Kyoto Japan that was run by a French man, they were having a hawian night and serving fish and chips. The best bit was that you could drink as much as you liked, any drink you liked, for 10 quid from 7pm to midnight.

    I know it's been discussed but it still drives me crazy that the 20 on the left sub dial is right side up and on the right sub dial the 10 is upside down.

    IMO not only is it great that they've faithfully reproduced the original layout, it's also a beautiful (if unintentional) nod to the handmade, human qualities we all love in old watches. A machine or corporate design board would have caught this, but a human being might have made such a "mistake". I love it!
