In this edition of Speedy Tuesday, we look at an experimental Omega Speedmaster that is a thing of real beauty. NASA introduced my dream version in the early 1970s, but sadly, it was never a production model. The Omega Speedmaster needs no introduction. Suffice it to say, the Speedmaster is one of the most iconic…
