路It is time for this iconic watch to have its own thread. Post your Flightmasters and then we will dicuss minute differences in dial versions until we create a bubble. Then we all sell our Flightys, cash in - and sit in the galleria in Milano drinking grappa until we fall over...
I bought mine from the original owners son. First version "no dots dial, all yellow pushers" and the corresponding bracelet. I expect this in the long run - and if the right sites give the Flightmaster some attention - to give me at least three months of grappa, cigars and immoral living when retired.
Movement before service
Used it on a mesh for a while.
Correct early 1159 bracelet and 155 endpieces:
Doing the dirty with a Seamaster 1000m
And cought from behind
He has probably never had grappa but I guess he is no stranger to vodka.
This is the box the family swore it came in. First owners wife bought the watch for her husband - for his 40: th birthday. He was a medical doctor that dreamt of being a pilot and became one. He changed his career and flew professionally.
Milano here I come!

路I never saw all yellow pushers?! Thats something new for me. I thought they are always half/half?
Very early Flightmasters had these. All yellow or all red - depending on chrono hands colours. Later Omega probably saw the opportunity to rationalize production and aftermarket service by colour coding them for both - "half and half".

路Does that mean half and half pushers are service pushers? @styggpyggeno1

路Nope. After the first series - Flightmaster: s got them from the factory. But for sure many of the early ones have got their "one colour" buttons substituted at service. I believe - but can not be certain or prove - that watches with "no dots" dials had one colour buttons.

路@styggpyggeno1
My first series has the 2 colour pushers.
Paint mostly rubbed off.
Watch and dial in very good condition.
I assumed the pushers would have been original.
Thanks

路My understanding is that the solid-dot pushers were phased out after 1969, but that leftovers continued to be installed on new 910s and 911s depending on where they were assembled. Omega even used some of the original 145.013 cases on the first batches of 911s.
