A collection made for XTriple?
To celebrate the Speedmaster’s lengthy service history, as well as its 40th anniversary, Omega released just forty of a special edition box set in 1997 containing all twenty-two mission-patch Speedmasters. For every one of the NASA’s missions where the Speedmaster was worn, the dial was emblazoned at nine o’clock with the mission patch, and so too are the watches in this collection. The set also includes a replica of the very first Speedmaster, commonly known as the ‘broadarrow’ due to its distinctively shaped hands

Re: A collection made for XTriple?
Yes, but most of the fun of collecting comes from the seeking out, even missing out and then finally nabbing the one you're after. Then you get to do it all over again.

Re: A collection made for XTriple?
Did they, like these Omegas, all look the same too?

Re: A collection made for XTriple?
Why would you want a box of watches that basically look the same?
If you can read this you are too close to your computer screen....

Re: A collection made for XTriple?
The iwc set comprised of a vintage edition of each of their range i.e portuguese, aquatimer, da Vinci, pilot, portofino and ingenieur. They did the set in platinum, Rose gold and stainless steel. The watches were all quite different.

Well that's 100% better than the Omegas then.
Psst, show us your blue dial one more time Nathan.

Re: A collection made for XTriple?
SO nice Nathan. I had to pull out my IWC price list for a reality check on why I don't own one!
The Omega set is nice, but, as Scooter says, just a little too repetitive. Certainly only for the hard-core Speedmaster collector. I'd really be quite happy with just one Speedy. Ok, two would be nice, a 'proper' acrylic version, and a sapphire sandwich.

In 10 years CW will be offering cased sets of military C4s, motoring club C11s and a re-issued set of C70s
