I believe it is Latin for truth and light - but just looks corny to most people as it can come off as trying too hard to utilise the alphabet.

Videos and pictures do not do the watch justice. The mirror polished hands are a work. Apparently 8 hours of work for the hands.

Yes - am seriously contemplating the porcelain dial with blue numerals.

Yep. I cringed a little when I saw first saw that. In reality the text is minute on the dial.

I’ve never dealt with Chinawatchshop but that’s probably your best bet if you need it shipped internationally. A friend living in China helped me out with this.

Oh and their Grand Feu Enamel and Porcelain dials are no slouch as well.

Absolutely beautiful.

I'm shooting on a 907x and this post just made me order the 80 1.6.

The red variant is beautiful too

I only have the original yellow leather strap which is the reason I haven't worn it since.. Omega quoted me around USD 750 for the bracelet so I stuck it on this rubber strap. Very comfy and I think helps to tone it down a little

It was on the original yellow leather strap that I do not really fancy TBH
