A few pictures of the Speedmaster Alaska Project.

I always had mixed feelings on this Watch. When I saw the official pictures, I fell in love with it. When I saw it in the real, I was disappointed. Well, it was some 3 ( 4? ) years ago... I had the opportunity to see it again, today, and I must say that I...
thanks for the post

thanks for sharing. I never knew they made a watch like this. I can totally see myself wearing this down the slopes of Whistler =P
Was it in 2009, or 2010, I can't remember, but I was quite surprised...

Some two or three years ago, I was offered the mighty original, and I took too much time giving my answer. I would have loved to get it! Very " décalé ", indeed, compared to the image we have of the Speedmaster. Thanks for your answer! Best, Nicolas
When Omega mixes speedies with color blocks

like the almost solid white on the face and band here, or the reds and yellows of the Schumachers, great things often follow. I love this one, and the strap adds a great dimension.

Ah, the 1938 Pilot's watch . . .

. . . that was re-issued in the not-too-distant past under the Museum Collection. I wasn't aware of the reference number, Nicolas - now I know.
Hey, you're the guy . . .

. . . that invents time machines! Let me know when you go back to 1938 - there's a few items on my list, too ;-) . . . ...
Great picture of a fab watch

When thinking of Omega watches as a whole, one that really stands out beside the ck2077 after having contemplated the early pieces of the Master series. Best x

Where's Jim Moose when you need him?
By: MikiJ : April 15th, 2014-08:22
The very first owner of one of these was Jim Moose. For those of us fortunate enough to know Jim; imagine him actually wearing this watch? However we know he did own a few other SpeedO's ;-) OK, quite a few!
Interesting...
By: MikiJ : April 15th, 2014-09:12
Jim had one when he came to visit in 2009. Hard to believe he brought a box full of SpeedO's ;-) Would that one have been an original? Maybe I should reach out for him?
i apologise for i have made an error. it was not 2010 it was released
By: G99 : April 23rd, 2014-04:08
i remember it being earlier than that perhaps 2008? i got confused as i believe the original dated from 1970 and havent looked it up in the book as i'm just plain lazy. i always thought the original was a prototype designed for working in sub zero tempera...
