Review of the most bonkers Omega ever made, "The Grand"

Well this watch was definitely an experience to photograph and research.

Thanks for sharing this review, Juho. What a fascinating watch with such an interesting history. I find it very appealing and it largely represents my long-standing interest in watches designed for this purpose.

Thank you.

Quite a monster. And the actual diving capability wasn't even tested because "The Grand" was more watertight that the submarine (that was used in the test).

It was quite an achievement back in the 1970's.
