Omega Speedmaster: The Electronic Age
Yes, there were electronic Speedmasters. And there still are today, but we'll get to that in a few minutes. But it seems like heresy, doesn't it? A watch with ��Speedmaster,' even ��Speedmaster Professional' on the dial while inside beats an electronic heart! And yet, we know from their pursuit of timing excellence (through their work in Olympic competition, among other things) that Omega has always looked for ways to innovate and thus improve.In the 1970s, the Speedmaster was not immune. And indeed, one would have expected as much, given the recent advances Omega had made in Olympic timing, and with the quartz crisis in full swing. While the Speedmaster Professional hand wound Moon Watch and it's mechanical brethren never went out of production, the Speedy also saw unique developments in electronic movements.When we talk about Speedmasters of the electronic age, we're really talking about four calibres and a closely related variation: the 1255, the 1620, the 1660, and the 1666.

speedster- the original? the new original? no bling?
I have followed the posts here for a while being largely unfamiliar with the Omega line but having some familiarity with the speedster. I have noticed that the 3570.50 of the current speedster line seems to be the one Omega that many if not most consider the current iconic model. there is also the same model (saphire sandwich) with the clear back case and brownish dial. what I have found interesting is that the special speedsters such as the anniversary models seem to have little following. they seem to be actually less desirable, at least from my observation. Can anyone comment on this. If I am accurate, there is a solid focus on being as close to the original moon watch as possible even if it is not one of the original models/movements.

Speedmaster dilemna...
Do you think I should keep my Speedmaster from the moon to mars or sell it in order to buy a classical Speedmaster Moonwatch?(pic from the web because I do not have a good pic of my own watch).Thank you for your kind advices.

SS Sky-Dweller Date Change
So I was lucky enough to purchase the SS Sky-D a few weeks back - not in my first choice of blue but gorgeous all the same (white).Now I'm not really a night owl but did find myself awake one night just before midnight and so decided to watch the date change ��within a few milliseconds of midnight' as per the Rolex website.Well I waited with baited breathe but as midnight passed I thought the watch must be set 12 hours out, and then some 40 seconds later, sure enough the date changed. I've replicated this Many times by adjusting the time to just before midnight but alas the date change has been between the said 40 secs and 2 minutes!Now this wasn't a major deal given that I am usually sound asleep at this time, however, I was somewhat bemused to see an Instagram post from our beloved manufacturer illustrating this remarkable feat at the stroke of midnight.I decided to give my AD a call regarding this and he said he would discuss with Rolex and get back to me.I received a call the follow
