This is actually the X-33, Gen 3 version. There are two options. I prefer the less flashy, all titanium version to the Solar Eclipse model. The geeky calendar grows on you after a while.

You can get details here: https://www.omegawatches.com/watches/speedmaster/skywalker-x-33/product/

I have an X-33 Gen 2, I would like an X-33 Gen 3 Skywalker like yours. I also think the Solar Eclipse is a bit gaudy. The one I was referring to was the odd-ball Z33 Spacemaster, supposedly the new Flightmaster.

New strap arrival. Abel Court Replica Corfam for my 176.007.

Nice 22 to 16 mm taper

Feels comfortable. Not too stiff, imo

Omega鈥檚 pic of their original Corfam, I believe. For those not familiar, Corfam was an artificial leather invented/marketed by Dupont from the '60s to the early '70s. It ended up only finding niche markets such and military spit/polish shoes.

And for watches it's just good 70's retro-fun ...and not a bad look for a 2017 casual Friday 馃槑. YaY!!!

Savvy.

I haven't looked too hard at the Z-33. Now that I am, I wonder if the rubber strap option would fit on the X-33 case? The red highlights might look pretty good with the red second hand on the new X-33s.

As for the features, they come up short when compared to the additional functions available on the X-33s. At first I didn't think I would use the PETs or the MET. With a little imagination they become quite useful. I find myself programming in last minute conference calls and the like pretty often on the PETs.
