Thanks Tony - this one was a collaboration between Revolution Watch and Hanhart...it's called the "Copperhead" and it's a perfect 39mm case size with a great matching bund strap. They really did a great job on the collab.
I agree with the points made above comparing this release with a vintage Speedy.
Of course, if you are buying either a Speedy or this release, then the Speedy would take priority as it has all the historical significance, the Omega brand, the beauty of its classic design, and its iconic status.
This watch is really more for collectors who like the idea of restoring vintage movements like the Lemania 1873 and putting it into a brand new watch that is very attractive and has some interesting additional complications.
I will admit I am a sucker for novelty when it comes to chronographs and fortunately the price asked is not too crazy for a limited edition with a cool restored vintage movement.
The price point is similar to what Nivada Grenchen has asked for limited editions with restored Valjoux 23 movements in them. And NG is also a microbrand (despite the historic brand name) and you would have the same issues servicing the vintage movement...even more so since some high end watches used the Valjoux 23 and replacement parts can be costly.
So, yes, there probably isn't much of a secondary market for this watch, or for the NGs, but I don't sell my watches nor think of them as investments.
That is a killer watch! I agree that would be a great addition. Unfortunately, Ed Sheeran's avowed love of Enicar Sherpas has pushed the prices up in the past few years.
I love my Enicar Sherpa Star Diver...it's also one to keep an eye out for...
