I had the pleasure of meeting fellow Bostonian and current Omega Sales Director (East Coast), Adam Bossi at my AD's jewelry/watch event this evening. I was wearing my Trilogy Speedy while Adam was wearing a Seamaster 300 MC in titanium:
Can you see why I find it hard to take the speedy pro off? Hesalite is just such an interesting crystal. I love the way the optics work.
I just had a thought. I was just looking up at the moon and was thinking about all the omega Speedy pros that have been there. Then I thought about Dave Scott who had the Hesalite crystal "pop" off somewhere on the moon during his second EVA. So somewhere on the moon right now, laying in the dust, is a Hesalite crystal with the Omega symbol on it. The same one I have on my Speedy pro. I wonder who will find that in the future and what they will think it was for.
@alfanator, very nice watch! I wonder when you picked it up? I'm still waiting for my order in May ..
