Though not very fond of these funky, fat and heavy...
... kind of watches I felt that the Speedmaster Limited Edition of the Speedmaster for the 125 th Anniversary of the brand deserves to reside in any Omega or Speedy collection. So when this example in almost NOS condition was offered to me a few years ago...
Thank you Ornatus Mundi! A beast built like a tank!
Though it was made in a limited quantity, they are not rare. Hope you find yours! Cheers Abel
I like the look very much
It's just so masculine If only they didn't placed 125 on dial Great catch Cheers D
The 125 really isn't much larger dimensionally . . .
. . . than a 910 Flightmaster, but it wears that way. I've tried them on a few times; while they're not totally out of the question on a slender wrist, they are imposing. You'll never be un aware of its presence. Art
Superb catch, dear Abel!
You know my love for Jubile watches - this one marking the 125 Jubile of Omega (1973). Huge congrats! Here is a scan especially for you, my friend! Together with your Centenary it makes two Jubile watches of Omega (100 Jubile, 1948) for you! Best Blomman ...
Thank you so much dear Blomman for your kind comments and the scan...
... you have sent me. Very interesting and I am entering in my HD with your permission. This is a catch made a few years ago and little shown here in our Forum. I also own an example of the 1948 Hundred years watch, with its original silver outer case. Re...
Beautiful watch Abel...
and highly complicated! This was certainly a work of art by Omega and it really hasn't received the praise for such a sophisticated movement, the Omega calibre 1041 based on the Lemania Cal. 1341. The integrated bracelet is also a thing of beauty if your ...
Precisely. An impressive bracelet visually . . .
. . . and not uncomfortable, but aesthetically overbearing. Having a beefy wrist is practically mandatory. While I've never owned any of the auto Marks, the one I'd latch onto would be a Mk 4.5. [my wrist, mrsnak's Mk 4.5] Similar to the Mk II in terms of...
Thank you again dear Art for your comments. I have no experience with the Marks so can´t tell, but by the looks ...
... and type of links it seems these are more comfortable than the 125th. Anyway as I told above, main issue with the 125th is its weight more than its size. I bought and loved this watch for its mechanical and historical importance and its brutal beauty ...
Thank you so much for your kind comments Chuck! Agree with you that the importance of this watch is underappreciated...
... and the only issue I find to wearing it is not the size but the weight. I can never forgett I´m wearing it when I strap it on my wrist! The watch is very well built and finished and it got a sophisticated movement inside. In any case if you wish to ex...
I'm a big fan of these late 60s early 70s "cushion case" watches!
Omega did some great ones, and you were quite fortunate to snag a minty 125. As Art has mentioned, we both have the same wrist size, and I love my Mark II, Mark 4.5 and 911 Flightmaster for the chunky case and great build. I'd love to come across a Mark 4...
Mrsnak: Thank you for your kind comments! All those watches you mention...
... are very tempting. Of course as collectors we should state our priorities! Lol! Yes, I was very lucky to find my 125 in such a nice condition. Thank you so much again! Cheers! Abel.,
