Incoming LE from Circa 2000
I have looked for one of these off and on for several years. I am drawn to the vintage Connie elements, particularly the pie pan dial and heavy hour markers.
Dark blue dial, blue gator band, deployant clasp, all boxes and papers, in 18K rose gold. Circa 2000-2002. First use of the co-axial escapement in an Omega. Getting it tomorrow or Wednesday. Will post actual pics then. Below is an Omega corporate pic. 999 released in this style. |

Lovely piece. Kind of wish they didn't put chronometer and instead replaced limited edition on the dial with it and engraved Limited Edition on the back only. Overall lovely.

I wanted to follow up with a couple of wrist shots. Watch got lost in shipping for a bit, but I eventually got it. Keeping excellent time. Nice for a 16 year old watch. I know the dial and band look black, but they are a dark blue.
