Hi Guys,
It's Christmas eve. My wife & son are in the Church. We are eating Goose at my mother-in-Laws tonight, I'm bored... so I scanned in a 1974 Advert that I've had lying around for a while.
I don't know which UK car magazine it came from, but the seller has written Aug '74 on the backside.
Here it is ( click on the pic for a larger version )
Since the text , under each watch, is almost impossible to read (even on the original paper), I tried to decipher it.
The text under the Speedmaster 125 says :-
"The 'Anniversary' model issued to celebrate Omega's 152 year anniversary. Made in a limited edition, this superb 'Chonometer' has all the features of the Speedmaster - Self-Winding - Automatic etc. In a new shape case with integral bracelet. Yours for ...."
So what's the breaking news ?
This is the first time that I have ever seen a reference to the watch being a limited edition, IN PERIOD DOCUMENTATION. I've seen lots of references to it being a limited edition in recent documentation, but NEVER before in anything dating from the 70's
Don't you wish you buy any of those 3 watches at those prices !
Happy Xmas guys.
Steve
