Part of History
I liked all the reviews here, good and bad. It helped me decide that I wanted a classic that my son would have long after I'm gone. And he'd be able to get it fixed for decades to come if necessary. He just turned 2.
I sourced out some Polywatch at the same time as the Omega. And...
Beauty
Enough said. It is a classic generations over and is definitely a keeper. Is not the most precise watch (precise enough in my opinion but does lose time, but frankly more often forget to wind it than it actually losing noticeable time) or the most functional (no date) but it is most rugged,...

Punk Planning: Omega Speedmaster
by Charles Frith
Before I left Hong Kong for Siam, I passed by another Omega watch store while once more in Causeway Bay (Hong Kong is crazy about watches so the density of high end watch shops is quite striking. I took the opportunity to try the Speedmaster on for the first time - It felt spesh. This specific watch is pretty much one of the few 'as is' terrestrial brands that was integral to the Apollo Mission moon landings including the first one in 1969. I really enjoyed explaining why 1969 was such a special year to the staff, who kind of appreciated listening to more reasons to talk about the watch for sales reasons I assume. I waffled on that there were five momentous and historical events in 1969. The most important was probably the launch by the US military's special projects mafia called DARPA, of DARPANET. This led to the internet which apparently is quite popular in many parts of the world regardless of cultural inclination or notions of cultural superiority. It pretty much works for everyonel Then there was Woodstock which is where it got interesting because the manager of the Omega shop joined us at that point as he was old enough to remember that ideas like make love, not war became mainstream as well as say, a better understanding that marijuana wasn't necessarily an evil drug if people took their clothes off and danced to the Grateful Dead or the irreplacable Janis Joplin. I really enjoyed having someone there who was even more qualified to talk about it than I. He was smartly turned out, respectably dressed with wire frame glasses and yet he seemed to authenticate what may have looked like counter culture in its day but is largely just mainstream culture today. It feels important for me to share from the authoritative books I've read on the matter, that the British people were both primitive and unfair in their treatment towards Yoko Ono. Once again they further eroded their dwindling reputation for characteristic fairness by being a bully...

I'm a bit of a retro-modernist. Everything 50s and 60s are modern again.
I normally wear vintage Persols but these Rayban...
