Description

This week is a first: a monobrand episode, but not as you might think. We are all given to love the Speedmaster, but there’s a whole world of Omega outside the Moonwatch that is waiting to meet you. This week, Erik & Max discuss some of the forgotten gems and rather beautiful references that stand in the shadow of Speedmasters. Just as some of the greatest-ever APs are not Royal Oaks, so too are some of the greatest Omegas ever made nothing to do with space.
