Eine weitere LE und zwar für Hodinkees 10jähriges Jubiläum.
Zitat von HodinkeeThis is an Omega Speedmaster made in a limited edition of 500 pieces celebrating a decade of HODINKEE. Mechanically speaking, it features a hand-wound Omega caliber 1861 three-register chronograph movement and uses the original 39.7mm case of the reference 2998. But the dial and hands make this unlike any other manually wound Speedmaster to date. First, the dial isn’t black, it’s a blue/grey with a pronounced minute scale. Second, the chronograph seconds hand is red, with a yellow tip as seen on a handful of Speedmasters dating back to the 1970s. Third, the hour markers are painted and luminous, while the hour and minute registers feature special red arrow hands. Further, the running seconds register is blue and black – taking inspiration from a particular example of an Omega, with a 30-second interval hand, a first for any Omega.
The bezel is black aluminum, just as it was on the original 1960s reference 2998, and the case is slim, without crown guards. It'll come with two straps, a grey NATO strap seen above, and a dark grey calfskin strap with side-stitch, a vintage style that HODINKEE helped popularize. The watch is every bit an original Speedmaster, but with a twist – a twist that is a nod to the most important watch in my own collection, the watch that started an obsession, and a career – my grandfather's MK40 triple calendar Speedmaster.
Finally, this watch will be sold not only by Omega boutiques, but also by our own HODINKEE Shop, and it is available to purchase right now, with delivery later this year. The retail price is $6,500, and like with every watch purchase from the HODINKEE Shop, that includes free expedited, insured shipping, and an extended warranty.
