Why is This Omega Book So Expensive?

V VintgΩEnthusiast

The book has been printed in 10.000 copies (2.000 French, 3.000 German, 5.000 English).

Bought one yesterday at the OMEGA Boutique in Vienna (Austria). It was in stock, could even choose between English and German version. Price was EUR 260,00.

As to errors and omissions (what the hey, in view of the enormous quantity of information), OMEGA are gratefully asking for comments.

I’m picking mine up today at the boutique.

My sons and I visited Vienna in 2017... a beautiful city. My youngest wrote his honors thesis in part on the history of the development of the city.
We stayed in Josefstadt

Josefstadt is a nice area. I hope you all had a pleasant stay.

By the way, should your son still be interested in the Vienna history, on the website of the City of Vienna there is the possibility to put various historic city maps as an additional, semi-transparent layer over the recent map. A very impressive support to imagine exactly what has once been the situation where. (Service available only in German language):

Anyone know of a German dealer willing to work on obtaining the book in English or a dealer that has the book in stock and is willing to send it to a German address?

I tried directly Omega but got 0 replies.

I have also been looking for a copy of this book. I am in London. Do you need to buy a watch from the omega boutique before they allow you to buy this book? Or can you buy it on its own. If anyone has any tips of any dealer that had this book in London, it will be much appreciated.

I wish we had Omega AD in Estonia 🙁
Can’t travel either to Finland or Latvia.
