Thanks @Robert-Jan Thank you, the particle is very interesting and informative! absolutely a good read! Your website has been very important in my Omega watch collecting journey, learned alot! thanks
Wish they brought back that bracelet style. The 1450 is impossible to find at a reasonable price.
I was much more active on forums 10+ years ago. Back then I used to interact with chuck maddox. The article said he passed - when did that happen?
Thanks alot for another great Tuesday read. It really is a shame about the value. Surely a Speedy Tuesday mk3 Chuck M limited edition should be in order. One for every OF member should suffice.
Oh trust me, this went through my mind a lot. But, and here's a big one, that movement is discontinued and there's no real successor to use. I know there's some ETA equivalent with almost the same layout/functions, but it isn't in line with Omega's strategy.
It lives on, just not with Omega. It heavily influenced the chrono used in lower end Swatch lines such as Tissot which looks uncannily similar to the 5100.

The Tissot chronos start at ~£750.
I rather spend 2000,- on a Sinn 142 or similar with the original Lemania 5100.
