What time is it? Watches and horology

Longines boxes are definitely the biggest I've seen.

Zenith boxes are also ridiculously huge. Embarrassing, actually.

Bang.

Ha!

Reissue of the "No Radiation" Fifty Fathoms. Would be good to see in person, nice they've reduced the case size compared to a lot of their range but still lacks impact compared to the original, guess that's the lugs. Not sure why they chose to make the bezel numerals so bold, bad call.

Edit: Just realised the hands are white, which match the original colour and I'm guessing are more legible, can decide if I like or would look better in silver.

bracelet - it's not original, is it?

I believe this particular Constellation would have come with a (gulp) elephant leather strap but if you asked the Omega AD in 1956 for a bracelet to accompany this watch there were a few options including this #1502 with #11 endlinks. So not original but period correct.

Not sure I would wear but I actually think the rere is better.

Missed Blue Monday but this arrived for Blue 火 👑🍆

Anybody interested in this? Its in great shape. Watch head is virtually perfect and usual light desk diving marks on bracelet. Running bang on (as in well within specs) according to my timegrapher.

Would let it go for £650 + p&p to someone on here as I would be dodging chrono24 or eBay selling fees.

That looks good Dude. Dat Dial...GLWS

+1 to that, shame it's too big for me.

Busiest dial of the year ?

That's a shame. Hope it finds a good home

Love to have one, can only afford a homage/Squale.

I actually prefer Squale one using old stock, sadly sold out before I got the chance;

Yeah these are nice! Think they sized and positioned the radiation symbol better as well. I really liked their 60th anniversary piece, that was spot on.

Very cool. Looks the part for sure.

Square & blue, love it. Blue Tuesday has a certain ring to it.

@Stonehedge literally a lot of watch for the money, glws.

very nice! more photos please

Family photo. Need a Twin Quartz (and an Oysterquartz, eventually).

Family photo.

whats the family of? (besides quartz)

I think you're going to regret selling this. Ceramic bezel, gorgeous dial, what's not to like.
You do need to spend some time outdoors in the sunshine to appreciate it though.

Looks stunning, much better then the stock photos.

Tissot is sweet!

Cheap and fun 70s quartz watches

Nice! Not sure oysterquartz counts 😂 But lovely goal.
