Review of the Omega X-33 ref. 3991.52
Last year I posted an item about a discontinued analog-digital watch from Omega, the X-33. Today I am finally posting the actual review of the watch, obtained from ebay shortly after that posting. Why the long delay? Well, read on and see! To recap, the X-33 is one of two watches from Omega space-qualified by NASA. There's the mechanical Speedmaster, worn on the moon, and the quartz X-33, known as 'the Mars watch.' The X-33 was released in 1998 and discontinued in 2006, though Omega still sells them to military aviators directly at a discount. (No, please don't bother asking, I have no way to get one for you and don't know anyone who does!) Omega went through several design iterations before releasing it, and two versions hit the market. This one is second generation, with a matte-finished bezel, plunger 'crown' and improved buttons. The case is brushed titanium, the buttons are actually stainless steel finished to match the case, and the crystal is domed sapphire with dual-sided antireflective coating. The analog hands are lumed with Superluminova, as are the hour markers and bezel dot. Note that the bezel is bidirectional - this is a pilot's watch, after all. Hit the link for more!
