Yesterday we had the honor to be a part of the Speedy Tuesday Event, hosted by FratelloWatches and OmegaWatches at the SpaceExpo in Noordwijk, The Netherlands. And a blast we had!
The Omega Museum was kind enough to bring quite a few exceedingly rare Speedmasters and Speedmaster prototypes. As did the attendees.. we’ve seen some beautiful watches and met great people!
But enough talk – let’s see some pictures!
Granted, it’s not a Speedmaster, but nonetheless it’s an important piece in Omega (and watchmaking) history – the first production model of a Co-Axial Omega, given by Omega to the late mr. George Daniels – as indicated by the engraving ‘ To our friend George Daniels’ and the LTD number 000/999.
Impression of the lunch, with the museum pieces underneath the glass domes for the guests to admire, try and photograph.. A sign of great trust. In the foreground Alon ben Joseph, CEO Ace Luxury Group, sitting next to Bert Buijsrogge of DeHorlogeFotograaf & Fratellowatches.

Lot’s of pictures being taken and shared – often the very same second. It’s a brave new world folks!
The Flightmaster / Speedmaster X-33 Prototype – the one that is lacking a pic in our X-33 files!
Another shot of the Mattingly Speedmaster.. A great piece of history.
It was not just Omega who brought the watches.. Lots of collectors brought their Speedies to the event..

Another Alaska Project Prototype in sandblasted stainless steel – one of our favorites of the day.
You’ll have to take our word on it, but this Speedmaster Automatic belonged to the late George Daniels and was one of the first watches to be fitted with his Co-Axial escapement.
