Speedmaster circa 1975          Uncle AJ's Rolex, Wrist Watch & Nature Forum Forum Index -> Omega View previous topic :: View next topic   Author Message uncle aj Site Admin Joined: 05 Aug 2007 Posts: 1691 Location: Work, Saudi Arabia..Home Bolton, England Posted: Thu Aug 09, 2007 5:37 am    Post subject: Speedmaster circa 1975 I bought this Speedy new around about 1976, it still keeps good time and is a keeper. It's a bit bulky and I very seldom wear it but I don't think I could part with it.

Its more convenient than the Professional IMO, even thought purists may disgaree with me. Its quite nice on a leather strap and I gave it to my father to wear. He seems to enjoy it :) Back to top uncle aj Site Admin Joined: 05 Aug 2007 Posts: 1691 Location: Work, Saudi Arabia..Home Bolton, England Posted: Fri Aug 10, 2007 2:06 pm    Post subject: You will have to borrow it back Suhail so we can see pictures. :roll: Back to top Suhail Junior member Joined: 09 Aug 2007 Posts: 41 Location: India Posted: Sat Aug 18, 2007 9:04 am    Post subject: I have plenty of pictures, but if only I could figure out how to post them!

If you know where the pictures are hosted, e.g. Photobucket.com, copy the link where the pictures are and before the link put [img] then the link, then[/img] at the end. Hope that makes sense. :D Back to top Tardis Moderator Joined: 07 Aug 2007 Posts: 263 Location: Queensland, Australia Posted: Sun Aug 19, 2007 4:31 am    Post subject: Hey AJ that's a nice vintage Speedie and looks in good condition as well. I am not much into chronograph watches, but I am a bit curious about this one. At the 12 o'clock end there is a two hand minidial marked up to 24hrs. Is that a dual time function or a 24hr timer? What is the movement? ETA or Valjoux? Also, is this model available to buy new?

As far as I know the movement is Omega's, based on a Lemania c.5100, the watch is circa 1974 and this particular design is no longer made. Here are some interesting links to this model. http://home.xnet.com/~cmaddox/c1045.html http://home.xnet.com/~cmaddox/c1045_in_detail.html Back to top CJ Old hand Joined: 30 Aug 2007 Posts: 420 Location: USA Posted: Thu Aug 30, 2007 5:48 pm    Post subject: I can't blame you for making that one a keeper.

I think that if I goa nother watch now-days, I'd ned to get my head examined. (Besides, the wife watches me too closely anymore) That's a good looker .....I'd have to carry glasses with me all the time though... 8) _________________ - Larry #12 Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         Uncle AJ's Rolex, Wrist Watch & Nature Forum Forum Index -> Omega All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Announcement----------------Forum AnnouncementsRants and Raves Watches----------------RolexOmegaPaneraiBreitlingOther brandsGeneral Watch topicsWatch photosFor sale and wanted Wildlife----------------Bird lifeBird photosGeneral wildlifeWildlife photosThe natural world General----------------General discussionsNew membersHow to do itSuggestions and complaints Photography----------------Photography in generalPhotoshop  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum
