The vertically brushed dial is very nice as is the size and the lack of date window. 

Perfect for playing with strap choices πŸ˜‰

Simple, non-limited and yet a very solid watch - the Railmaster

Commercially the decision to go for this rather than the anniversary edition has probably been a disaster. At the same time I find it a bit problematic to complain that brands only rehash the past and then only buy those pieces and not reward the better b...  

A very cool one

I just wish they would offer mint green lume like on the older model with a slightly slimmer case.

It is green of sorts…

Not sure if fully mint πŸ˜πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Absolutely agree with you!

Unfortunately the Denim came out after I got this and didn’t quite manage to justify both πŸ˜‰πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Really like it…

And the white hour markers and lume on the hands are definitely nice in my eyes πŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»

Everything you need and nothing you don't - and a great match with the strap.

Agree with you on fauxtina, but I really like the Railmaster. Omega did a good job here.

That they most certainly did πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘πŸ»

Glad you like the strap! Big fan of the original cashmere, too πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»

That it most certainly is!

We often lament that brands just copy the past with no novelty but when they do one needs to occasionally reward them for it πŸ˜‰πŸ‘πŸ»

Well put!

 
 By: KMII : May 7th, 2024-14:41
Maybe not epic in any category but a good allrounder πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘πŸ»

Thanks a lot - and glad you like it!

What watches used to be like for a long time - designed to be a daily wearer (not that it is in our household πŸ˜‰)πŸ‘πŸ»

Clearly this one fits the bill

Very nice one...

it is the vertical brush and the overall fauxtina that makes this timepiece unique.

I would object to the term 'fauxtina' here

 
 By: blau : May 7th, 2024-15:02
I know it's the same color that people use AS fauxtina, but this watch just is not a throwback at all, not trying to look like it's 40+ years old and has faded dial colors. On this watch I'd argue it's not fauxtina, it's just yellowish lume.

Agreed.

And that’s something I have been known to enjoy on occasion πŸ˜‚

Now whether the results are enjoyable for everyone else is another matter altogether πŸ˜‰πŸ˜

When Omega really shines

I somehow believe that Omegas truly shines the most when they are not.
