Lately, I find myself having a sweet spot for faceted crystals.


But finding replacement ones is so so hard!

Was in Wien yesterday and had a couple of hours to kill before heading back home so I decided to drop by in Omega boutique. I was wearing my -67(ish) Seamaster Cosmic /w cal. 601 and I thought I'll go and ask if they would have a STZ010566 buckle to replace the generic buckle it has (I mean I was curious to take a look at the modern lineup as well...😅).

Full compliments to the staff. They were very, very nice and accommodating. And I think at least a bit intrigued of my old Cosmic that I doubt they had seen live before. In the end the buckle felt still too modern, got it anyway, and swapped it to a SM Dynamic 2 this morning. Perfect fit if you ask me!

That watch is wild in all the best ways and the buckle indeed suits it perfectly.

Fortunately, I know a master glassmaker who still makes them at a reasonable price. That said, these crystals have a long lifespan anyway, provided you wear them in rotation and with reasonable care.

My lovely Ertus, on the wrist. She is looking for a new home in the private sales section!
