Some 35 years ago Omega saw the future and produced this:
A futuristic tuning fork Chronograph movement with a "Buck Rogers" case to match, this watch looked like something from the far future, and people weren't ready for it. It was a clean break from tradition.
Now some 35 years later, the Speedsonic Lobstertail still seems just as FAR futuristic as the day it first rolled off the production line, and while values have soared, even today it's probably too futuristic for all but a few...
Cheers!
