    I was rooting through my briefcase and found my backup, backup watch that I was using on a field assignment a few years back. It features a non-replaceable battery which is supposed to last for ten years. I recall that the cost was about $US 20.00 for this watch, which comes out to $2/year. I'm really digging its lightness. And check out the water-resistance rating: 100m! Not bad, for what is essentially a disposable watch :)

    Wow, what a beautiful patina!

    Is there anything more graceful than an over the decades well earned Patina ...?!
    Even a perfect NOS watch face cannot compare to a factory original but unique piece with beautiful patina IMHO!

    Another “forgotten beauty” from the bold and colorful era of 1980s.

    Omega Seamaster Polaris
    Stainless steel/18K gold, 3-hander date,
    1441 thermo compensated quartz movement.
    1987/88 (build/sold).

    A unique G.Genta design, case in Stainless with seamless 18k gold inlay, all matt finish.

    At the time, this SS/18K/18K model was about 40% more expensive than the Speedmaster professional.
    It must be now one of the most underrated Omega series ...

    Are there more Polaris fans out there...?!
