i had one Erich, but i never really understood the concept
i had the midi with a different piece of artwork in the back. no pic sadly. i didnt really understand the concept as the best bit, as others have already said, is on the back. i dont think i ever wore mine and sold it very shortly after buying it.

As Erich mentioned in his post, the Omega Art Series was offered in (3) different sizes and with art inserts on the back by various artists. Erich showed the largest (maxi - 40mm) size in the Emilio Tadini 1987 version. Here is an example of the Max Bill ...

At least...
Hi Greg, at least one who shares my appreciation for this watch - thanks! But I think one has to see it in the flesh - a picture can´t capture it due to it´s high lustrous gloss of ceramic and sapphire. best erich
