The sensible one
By Julien Moreau, Geneva ·
The sensible Omega, and I do not mean that unkindly. Forty-one millimetres, 13.2 mm thick, 150 m, the 8900 with 60 hours behind an open back, a blue teak dial with a date, a good bracelet. At sixty-six to seventy-two hundred dollars it costs a good three thousand less than a Datejust 41 and does almost everything the Datejust does. My complaints: the 21 mm lug width limits your straps, and it has all the romance of a well-run train timetable.
