What time is it? Watches and horology

I've had it on a nato the last few days but wanted to try something a little smarter, the nice suede strap I have has holes just slightly too lose or too tight. I think the nato will go back on soon, the perlon is nice but whever I take the watch off it feels like it's going to slide off the strap and I'm worried about dropping it.

You could try a strap with curved ends like these https://www.hirschstraps.com/pages/hirsch-leonardo-curved-end-fitting-guide

Why does that seamaster have 14 lines between each 10 minute marker?

It’s a Speedmaster, and the movement runs at a rate of 3hz, and therefore ticks 6 times per second. Dividing each second into 3 means that the chronograph second hand will fall either on or exactly halfway in between each marking, theoretically allowing a more precise reading (within the limitations of the movement). On the older Speedmasters that were split into 5 (see Condorlini’s) the second hand would only ever fall precisely on the full second.

I would not be surprised if this is that known issue with the new movement. It’s been reported on the Omega forums. There is a fix and you can be pretty certain it won’t happen again once you get it back.

Just checking the pool temperature

U crazy mo fo. What dia is that bezel?

Nice shark mesh where from?

Squale 50 Atmos aka 1521 is 42mm diameter.

That's what I thought.

The strap must be like 30mm wide? 😊

Bracelet is 20mm and just a cheapo from eBay.

Any suggestions for a replacement rubber strap for my Wenger?

Shit. The crystal is scratched!

I like this. @JB why did you flip your Zodiac?

Can't justify a summer watch beyond this though

Yeah. Was nice, but as per usual, not as nice as pictures made it look.

I keep coming back to this as a neat bookend to a Speedmaster

Was totally unaware of this release. Would 100% have ordered. Sad face. Manufactured by MkII.

Space bell-end extraordinaire, Bezos, wore 2 Speedmasters on his cock rocket jaunt

Moonwatch and an X-33.
Thought he'd have gone custom dialled rather than just case backs and straps.
Tight cunt.

Eww. Bringing shame to the name. #fuckbezos #fuckamazon

By the sounds of it Omega were falling over themselves to get in on it.

Was one not good enough??? He was fucking cargo lobbed into space.

Knowing billionaires he probably gifted it to a head of state, kept it for his dynasty, or sent it to another billionaire with a taunting note.

It costs roughly $2,995.00 to send 1g of cargo into space.... a speedy weighs in at around 117g.... $530,115.00 worth of extra weight. What a bell end!

Weight of speedy on a metal strap from omega forum. Also won’t be the full 1/2million as they didn’t go into orbit but I bet it’s a fair few Amazon employees wages.

Surely it's a "moonwatch" and not a "quite high up until the sky goes black watch"
Can't imagine why Omega would be all over it.
