Wearing this big guy during all this week…
… and as always happens when I have it on my wrist I enjoy it so much and it reminds me of my good friend Art.
This Omega model has such a strong personality and the lovely patina on the sub-dials turned brown add to its charm.
I wish Art and me will reunite our respective Flightmasters some not far day. We will repeat the pleasure of meeting again.
Here a few shots taken today under our feeble Fall Sun.
Have a nice weekend dear friends!
Cheers! Abel
Agres with you Salaman! Thank you. I wish Omega would make a re-issue some day! Best, Abel
And if you ever get caught in a burning building...
...you can use it to break down a door. Beast : )
Ha ha ha!! Hello mdg: I wish I´ll never be in such an experience but it´s true: I would have a good tool to try to survive. Lol!
Thank you so much Filip. Agree with you: these words well describe this watch. Cheers! Abel
Wow, amigo, que bonito! There are 5 or 6 Omega I would love to get, one day. This one is part of them. Un abrazo.
Muchas gracias amigo Nicolas! I wish you´ll find your FM some day soon my friend. I´m happy to know you like this model so much. Hagwe my friend. Abel
Fabulous ! …
I could look at that vintage Omega dial all day long.
Enjoy dear friend !
Thanks a lot for your kind comments dear Captain. Indeed its dial is mesmerizing. A big watch with a lot of character! Glad you like it! Best, Abel
Thanks a lor dear friend Yacomino! Agree that it has a lot of charm! Hagwe my friend! Abel
Thank you so much M4. A colorful dial and patina adds its part with its browns. Cheers! Abel
Absolutely superb 👌🏻👏🏻
A watch I would love to add to the collection someday, with the DC-8 in the back. Sadly a plane which I missed, so while never having experienced it live, at least I would have it on the wrist 😁✈️
Thank you so much dear friend KM for your kind comments.
I wish you’ll find your FM some day soon!
May be you can do it before our gathering with Art, Nicolas and Jefff next year in Paris?? 😉
That would be wonderful!!!
Regarding DC8: I had the pleasure of flying in those planes in the 1980’s.
Still my favorite commercial plane is the 747.
There are several planes I would have loved to fly: e.g. the DC3 and the Concord. Regret so much that.
At least you can have the DC 8 on your wrist as you well say!
(By the way: in all reviews of this watch it is said that the image on the case back is a DC8. But… if you look well the tail fin of this engraving clearly belongs to a Boeing 707. (You can see the horizontal antenna on the top of the 707 while the DC8 doesn’t have any antenna)
This has always intrigued me!!)
Best cordial regards, Abel
DC-8, 707, and VC-10 - flew 'em all! . . .
. . . and somewhere in storage is my BOAC log-book with many of those flights recorded by the pilot.
✈️
Ohh! How nice! I wish I had kept a log of my flights!! By the way dear Art: What do you think about the plane on the caseback of the FM? As per my post to KM above and my shots?
Don´t you feel it is a 707 and not a DC8? Just a bit of trivia of course.
