Historical Perspectives: Revisiting The History Of The Omega Speedmaster With The Astronauts Who Wor
The official status of Omega’s Speedmaster Professional as that of “Moonwatch” is widely known and celebrated amongst enthusiasts and certainly by Omega themselves. Unlike many brand partnerships, the relationship between Omega and NASA has yielded real, tangible benefits, with the Speedmaster itself making appearances in each of the manned missions to the Moon, and even contributing to one of the greatest dramas of the 20th century, helping the astronauts of Apollo 13 return safely to Earth after an oxygen tank explosion two days into the mission. To gain a more personal perspective on this relationship, Omega sent us to NASA headquarters in Houston, where we had access to astronauts Jim Lovell (Gemini 7, 12; Apollo 8, 13) and Tom Stafford (Gemini 6A, 9A; Apollo 10; ASTP). We heard the first hand account of Lovell’s heroism, and the Speedmaster’s pivotal role in Apollo 13’s return to Earth. 1 OF 26 “Houston, we have a problem.&rd

Re : The Ultimate Nautilus
No, this is not an incoming thread. Not so long ago, I tried to add a 2nd PP ( ie Nautilus ) to my collection. I have kind of decided it should be gold. Here's the thread.rolexforums/showthread.php?t=375588I recall during the previous tryouts, I was so smitten by this, even more so then the 5980R which is too top-heavy for me. Thought it was just a temporary infatuation but it hasn't gone away. To me, this is THE Ultimate Nautilus. ( not my pic )As usual, I did a quick analysis of plus and minusPlus1) It's a PP Nautilus! 2) The wrist presence is second to none. It just blows everything including other Nautilus out of the water3) It's heavy but balance meaning it is not top-heavy as the bracelet support the weightMinus1) The price 2) Too shouty? Bling? 3) Scratches too easily?So what are your thoughts on this? Any existing owners here, please weigh in and share your wrist shots!

If you could only have one, which would it be?
