Team,

Another Tuesday, time to show our Omega watches.

This Tuesday, my beloved Omega Speedmaster 60th Anniversary Trilogy.

The fact that is numbered as 007 is the cherry on the cake.

First, a collage:

Small, by today's standards, is just a beauty.

Dresses perfectly on my wrist.

A more dark shot, considering that we are about to enter our Winter.

A flash B&W shot. After all, it pays homage to a 60th years watch.

Now is your turn.

Show your Omega(s).

Cheers,

Nilo
