Omega Supports Solar Powered Flight
Solar Impulse is a prototype aircraft powered by the Sun, and on a clear April day over the Swiss town of Payerne, it took its first serious test flight. Seven years in the making, the goal of the venture is to demonstrate that it is possible to fly around the world using only solar power. The top of the craft’s wings are covered with 12,000 solar cells, occupying a wingspan of 206 feet – just a few feet shorter than a 747, yet the plane weighs only about 3750 pounds. The nearly $100 million project is headed up by Bertrand Piccard, the Swiss adventurer who completed the first non-stop around the world balloon flight in 1999. His partner is Andr�� Borschberg, an engineer and fighter pilot. On Wednesday, the Solar Impulse team took the first major step toward their goal with a test flight that lasted about 2 hours, during which they achieved an altitude of about 4000 feet. Later this year, the crew will test the plane’s ability to fly at night using lithium batteries.Om

RG 44 at an Italian
I haven't worn my RG 44 that much this year so I decided to wear it to a nice Italian trattoria, for the first real carbs I've eaten this year. Food was great, we had bubbling hot lasagne, mushroom tortellini but the best was a delicious gooey chocolate brownie with salted caramel and chocolate sauce! There's been a couple of sales of the RG here recently but I can gladly say I loved wearing the watch and it still looks magnificent and it is going nowhere.

let's see those 39mm ROCs!
i feel these are (one of) the under-appreciated of the RO line.let's see 'em here!

Birth year speedy
So, I just ran into a random guy while I was out tonight. After a few drinks and shared experiences, he told he me he has a speedmaster and not only that, it is my birth year speedy and a full set. I did get his contact info and I'm hoping I may make a deal with him soon as he is not that attached to it and has upcoming daughter engagements. No pics at this time, I just wanted to share the excitement for me. I'm hoping it might make out in my favor :)
