Congratulations on that deal @ffej4 ! Makes me think again I might look for a titanium sword hand seamaster to accompany my steel version 🙄

I’m blaming @Larry S for this.

I saw his post, about twenty pages back on WRUW, of his alpha handed Speedmaster, and got inspired to wear this.

I love how this watch changes color.



I do have a better DON bezel put away, but that one doesn’t have the color that this one does, so I’m leaving it as is.

Big Ti tool watches sometimes trigger me to pull out more...

Edit: Clearly not thinking straight here...G2 of course, not G1! Not even drinking either! 😜 Thanks @elara2105 !

After years of deliberation and waiting for the right time, I finally got a titanium 2231.50. It was totally worth it. This watch is massively underrated. 8f28845e-1f3f-48d3-857f-799a3ac1610f-jpeg.1147402
I really like the sword hands. I may be getting a seamaster. I have a couple vintage but I really want a 90’s or newer. Anyway looks really nice

Sometimes one just feels right - my new to me Oris 65



Terrible pic with my kitchen's lighting, but at least you can see Abbie the Dog's grudging approval! 😁

1972 24HR 788 movement. Getting the little grey cells working. Trying to recall if Omega had a 24HR function in any of their watches at this time.

In a wristwatch, I’d be interested to know of any Omega “true” 24hr movement at any time before or after your watch.

That said, a few years before your Tissot was the Flightmaster cal.910 which provided in effect the same full 24hr information via a different approach (the 24hr indicator + second independent hours hand). (And by 1972, all of the cal.1040/1041 watches also had a 24hr indicator.)

Setting aside wristwatches, I believe there were Omega pocket watches, war time, with 24hr movements.

Thanks! The Seamasters from this era are fantastic. True tool watches. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
