Speedmaster II 145.014

The Omega Speedmaster Mark II It was at least ten years ago that I stumbled upon a very rudimentary website depicting a chronology of wild, boldly styled 1970’s Omega chronographs and I enjoyed marveling at them, but one stuck out as especially notable: the Omega Speedmaster Mark II 145.014. Yes, amongst all of the crazy […]

#TBT Jenny Caribbean 1000 for Philip Watch

Jenny Caribbean 1000

Today we’ll take a look at a significant watch in the history of dive watches: the Jenny Caribbean 1000. Just to clear the air preemptively, the name on the dial states “Philip Watch”, but as I’ll touch upon later, Jenny did build the watch. Perhaps innovation was easier in the 1960’s because the market was […]
