OMEGA Speedmaster Special Edition - Aviation




This Omega Speedmaster special edition was sold circa 1990s. Notice that its second hand, minutes and hour counters are marked in red colour.

Another unique feature of the dial is the use of Arabic numbers (e.g. 1, 2, 4 ...) instead of the usual bar indicators. This is rather unusual for speedmaster dial setup.

Also the watch hour and minutes hands are simliar to those used for aviation instruments, they are obviously different from the usual slim pointers for speedmaster.
Apparently this model was specially created for aviation professionals.
