Went to an AD a few hours away to pick up my Friends dream watch with him ( skydweller) and saw some cool peices at the shop from his personal collection

i think there are a few things that omega is being stubbron about that could take the watch to the next level

first - stop making a billion limited editions

second - make the WR higher than 50m, its not a diver but its still a sport watch that people would love to wear anywhere and everywhere including jumping in the pool once in a while, with the advances in tech these days that should be easy for them to do even without putting a screwdown crown and i doubt anyones going to be against it

third - quick adjust clasp, again they already updated the bracelet... just add a new clasp you already have on another speedmaster model

fourth - stop making a billion limited editions

fifth - there is no fifth because the watch is already great and classic and you just want to make incremental upgrades that doesn't change the watch itself, the two small changes doesnt seem much but it makes a ton of difference in wearability


if i was in charge though and i am selfish, i would make a smaller version in 38mm, collectors are gon' be mad at it but i think it will still sell


after wearing the moonwatch, in going to add one more that would push this watch further up and thats improving the power reserve

50hr is ok but thats kind of been left behind, my $500 hand wound hamilton had an 80hr power reserve

itll just be nice to remove the watch on friday night and still have it running when i putnit back on in monday and i ccan wind it again without having to adjust the time

What Hamilton are you referring to?
 
code on the wheel almost ruins it but it's incredible that they got an automatic movement in a case that small
