This was the first 105.003 I ever owned, purchased from a Vietnam vet, orig. owner, in 1997.

Been mostly sticking with this early solid lume hands, non-hacking Zodiac Sea Wolf for a week now. It's due for a scheduled five year service. Since the last service five years ago it's become increasingly accurate and is remaining within a minute a week.

On the wrist since March 10, after I serviced it. One of my Accutrons. This one a model 218. Pleased to report, this one is 25 seconds slow in 40 days. Not bad for a watch made in 1970. Original Kreisler “coffin” bracelet. Not much incentive to change watches, performance considered.

Solidarity at Home: Day 033



...and its truly unique case back.



As I wear this watch today I'm thinking of the tragedy and heroism that we've witnessed in Italy over the course of the pandemic.

This watch will always have a special meaning to me, beyond the present circumstances. It celebrates the 60th anniversary of Omega's adoption of the Hippocampus as the symbol for its professional line of watches; the original inspiration came from the Hippocampus ornaments seen on many of Venice's gondolas. And, I was in Italy at the time of the anniversary and for my 60th birthday.


Our heart goes out to everyone who has lost a loved one, friend or colleague, or is suffering physically or financially in this pandemic.
