When this video, about holding Elvis Presley’s diamond-encrusted Omega in my hand, posted just now, the first commenter wrote “so excited“.

Which is why we were so surprised by this Omega Speedmaster Moonphase Chronograph. It’s two-tone, with a silver dial and a green bezel. Not what we’d normally pick. But also, absolutely awesome. … ContinuedThe post This Omega Speedmaster Moonphase Chronograph is not your average Speedy appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
