When we visited the Omega Museum<\/strong> last August we discovered, as reported in the first article on the Moon Saga (here<\/span><\/a><\/strong>), several historic models of the maison that were absolutely exceptional and that were not very well known to the public. Two weeks ago as we were all in the Antico Caffe Greco<\/strong> in Rome<\/strong>, the happy hunting ground of thinkers, philanthropists, artists and, from now on\u2026.watch lovers, we were looking at all the photographs of that fantastic trip over the summer and, faithfully guided by the Omega<\/strong> book, we decided to select four that we would like to see in a modern and limited edition.<\/p>\n

\"antico-caffe-greco\"Of course the selection process was by no means scientific but each one of the group illustrated the reasons for his (her\u2026) particular choice and we put it to a vote. And here my dear friends is the Horbiter\u2019s selection.<\/p>\n

This Omega Seamaster<\/strong> has an imposing case, with a semi-embedded crown on the left, blue hours hand, oversized orange minute hand, white second hand with \u201clollypop<\/em>\u201d tail,\u00a0 steel bezel with, at 12 o\u2019clock a red lacquered \u201cOmega\u201d<\/em> logo. Simply unique (in the true sense of the word, since this was a prototype). We imagine it with a bezel in Liquidmetal<\/strong>, titanium grade 5 case and bracelet, red logo at 12 o\u2019clock, lacquered, caliber 8500<\/strong> and, why not, waterproof up to 4000m<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

N\u00b03 \u2013 The Omega Seamaster \u201cAnakin Skywalker\u201d.<\/h2>\n

This Omega Seamaster<\/strong> Chrono vintage reference ST 145.0023 is an absolutely original watch and highly sought after by collectors the world over, both in its Anakin<\/strong><\/em> version and in the Darth Vader<\/em><\/strong> version, sporting a 44.5 x 51mm steel case, a mineral class, a bezel made out of tungsten carbide<\/strong>, with a steel wrist band, Omega clasp, and manual wind chronograph movement calibre 861<\/strong>. In its Darth Vader<\/strong><\/em> version this is truly the Dark Side of the Moon<\/strong>, don\u2019t you think?<\/p>\n
