Incredible looking Omega Flightmaster hand wound chronograph. It is in outstanding condition, recently serviced and running like a dream with all functions operating correctly with all hands snapping back to zero correctly and keeping good time. The case is in excellent condition and it has got all of the original colour coded buttons. Quite often the buttons are replaced with generic buttons, as the originals with enamel colour coding can no longer be found – even Omega have run out. This is an Omega watch that is getting harder and harder to find.  They are very collectible and very popular.  It is the watch that does everything for the pilot, navigator or flight engineer.  They are colourful large and very substantial in appearance and feel.  As well as telling the time it has got a twelve hour chronograph, which is operated by the pushers at 2 and 4.  It also has the rather essential GMT or dual time zone hand which enables the watch to be used for recording and calculating flight plans.  This is operated by the crown and the 7 position.  The GMT hand is the thick blue hand.  It also has an internal rotating bezel which is operated by the crown and the 10 position.  This is can be sued for calculating elapsed time on either the main time or on the GMT time.  Again these are very useful functions for anybody travelling across time zones who need to record the flight time or any other kind of elapsed time.  It is a handsome and charming watch with tons of appeal and charisma.  It comes on the original Omega signed steel bracelet.  The dial and hands are in excellent condition, thought there is some fading and patina to the dial adding to the overall vintage appeal of the watch. Hand wound movement.  Dates to circa 1975. It is a classic looking and unusual wristwatch, striking design and on that is a talking point standing out from the crowd. The styling is typically that of the early to mid 1970's with thick case and high sides, it is typical of 1970's retro cool styling, that is very much back in demand.

This was with no special modifications as all of the testing candidates were purchased from a jewelers store in Texas. The watch had to pass all of the extreme testing for the good reason that during space travel, it would be subjected to the environments that were simulated during the tests. This being outer space, the most extreme and hostile environment known to man. Some of the conditions it required endurance was to survive massive acceleration, compression, extreme and instantaneous temperature and humidity changes, amongst more.

The inside of the case back is also stamped by Omega.  The movement is in excellent condition and the bridge is stamped with Omega.  It is a 15 jewel stem wound movement.  Some flaking to the lume as expected, more towards the base of the minute hand.

The Speedmaster passed all of NASA’s stringent testing when they were selecting a watch for their space missions in the 1960’s. The other would be watches crumbled half way through testing. The other watches included some of the big name brands still around today. The Speedmaster however passed all of the tests and continued to operate as normal. This was with no special modifications as all of the testing candidates were purchased from a jewelers store in Texas. The watch had to pass all of the extreme testing for the good reason that during space travel, it would be subjected to the environments that were simulated during the tests. This being outer space, the most extreme and hostile environment known to man. Some of the conditions it required endurance was to survive massive acceleration, compression, extreme and instantaneous temperature and humidity changes, amongst more.
