Actually when I was first shopping around it was the face of the SKX 007 that caught my eye. I instantly gravitated towards it. The only problem was it does not come in an all black body. So I kept looking and found this beauty. Not quite as appealing to my eye as the SKX 007, but close enough.
The movement is 7S36 (23 jewel). I'm hoping it's a rugged one because this is becoming my daily driver. And yes, I was quite impressed with the lume.

There's nothing like a mechanical watch, and yours looks terrific. I bet it will still be ticking away decades from now.
Here's a vintage Omega that has been my almost-daily watch for about 30 yrs, and before that it was my grandfather's retirement watch from GM in the late 60s.
It's still very accurate and reliable. I've had it serviced only a couple of times.
When inquiring on an Omega forum several months ago about getting the dial restored or replaced the response was overwhelmingly to leave it alone. So I will!

I wouldn't restore it either. It's a beauty as is. The character from age and the story behind the watch makes it much more beautiful object.
The watch I truly covet is a Seiko that my grandfather wore. My dad has it now.
Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure and thanks, Waxxy.
