One for the Speedy nerds. When Omega were submitting watches for later space missions in the 1970’s (under the working title Alaska project) one of the astronaut lead revisions was a 60 second bezel. A Tachymeter is fairly useless on earth, let alone space and most of the chronograph timing operations were less than a minute. The bezel appeared on prototypes (below) but never made it into production… until one guy in the US made some inserts!

I’m not going to put it on this Speedmaster but will build a bitsa over time, I think it looks dope.
