A while ago I posted a couple of pics from a 1969 film featuring an Omega speedmaster.
Anyway I bought the film from Amazon.
The speedmaster is shown in a few scenes.
But there are a couple of interesting features...
here's a screenshot ( click on it for a larger version )
lets go through the "normal" stuff first.
- twisted lug ( & crown guard )
So did it come from Omega like this ?
I dunno. But I'm sure I've seen a professional with a red centre second hand before somewhere ( & I don't mean the MKII racing, or the "prototype" with the white dial & "space ship" sub-dial hands )
this picture is from Eric So's website www.Omega4U.net
Time Capsule features a similar watch, with a slightly different but still red centre second hand.
Whatever, the 1969 film features a watch with a red centre second hand.
You read it here first !!
Real or modified ? I'm not sure anyone can say now.

Hi guys,
- Professional on the dial
- applied marker ( it IS there you just can't see it )
- WHITE Velcro strap ( OK maybe they didn't know that NASA were using black)
- RED Centre second hand !!! Now that IS interesting. I can't believe that a film company would go to the effort of painting it red, for a film ( & to be honest the second hand plays no part in the film, it's not like you HAVE to notice it )
