Just two pictures - Omega Speedmaster Solar Impulse
Team,
I have a strange relationship with this watch.
I seldom wear it but when I do, it's a great feeling.
Two fresh pictures of today:
The titanium case makes if light without taken away its boldness.
The GMT complication makes it a very nice travel watch.
Thanks for seeing.
Cheers,
Nilo

Very handsome looking watch.
As I just got a GP with similar characters today, it's really great to see your photos. Titanium case with chronograph, GMT, and a carbon dial. Love the combination!
Great travel watch ...
As we can see checking the accuracy of the Big Ben in 2011. Cheers, Nilo ...
I always liked the Solar Impulse ...
... even if I consider the dial a bit crowded. It has the great cal. 3313 movement with GMT, hasn't it? Marcus
Yes ... and no ...
The HB-SIA is equipped with the caliber 3603 (that I believe it's a 3313 with the addition of the GMT complication). Many terabytes had been written about the Omega 33xx family issues but I have/had many watches from this family and never experience a sin...
Well, pactically ALL modern movements demand a trained watchmaker ...
... or better: a certified watchmaker. Even ETA reduces its parts supplies policy to watchmakers that are not affiliated with Swatch group Brands. For the vast majority of the inhouse movements currently used the parts are sent only to watchmakers having ...
But the modern movements ...
Don't have the classic and annoying 7750 "wobble". Some, with ceramic ball bearings have some chirp and also annoying sound. Cheers, Nilo
You are right ...
... I also hate that wobble. However, a certain sensation caused by the loosely spinning rotor is common to most movements with unidirectionally winding mechanisms. My Omega 3313 is not an exception, but I have to really concentrate to feel that. My comme...
You may have a point ...
But we cannot ignore some advantages of modernization. I work with computers and I\'m surrounded by magnetic fields. I try to wear, not always, movements from the Master line that are, by definition, 100% non magnetic. About other modernization efforts, I...
Yes, a cumulative effect of even weak magnetic fields cannot be excluded ...
Additionally, I think the low mass inertia is the strongest argument for silicium escapements. Marcus
