The Story Behind the Watch
Born out of my personal admiration for the Omega Worldtimer collection because of my extensive love for traveling, this project was a passion-driven pursuit to create a timepiece that embodies the essence of the original in every detail. Leveraging my graphic design expertise and studying genuine samples, I extracted the correct fonts and developed the dial and its component parts myself, and had it made.
This piece is part of a exclusive series of just 10 watches that were commissioned, in addition to a single test unit made – making a total of 11. Of these, three remain in my personal collection, while the others are with my close collector friends. This is likely the only one of these that will be made available for sale, and certainly the first one.
Specifications
VSF Base Worldtimer Movement
- Fully functioning movement that has long been praised in these forums and in the community. A great base for this watch, and arguably the fact that this movement is functionally and visually so close to gen, is the reason I decided to build these.
- Sedna Gold Wrap: The case was wrapped in Sedna Rose Gold, color-matched to Omega’s stunning rose gold alloy, achieving the unmistakable warm tone and luxurious luster unique to this material. It was extremely hard – as rose gold plating tends to be as it is – to get this right.
- Unlike fly-by-night platers the world over, the watch was taken apart down to each individual link and screw and plated. No hidden steel inside.
- Custom CNC Two-Piece Dial: After the design was made, this two piece dial was constructed to match the genuine Omega Worldtimer. A steel disc, cnc machined with the teak-deck motif, was anodized and painted with a frosted opaline finish as per gen. Polished and brushed lumed indices were applied.
- Graphic Design Precision: I extracted the relevant fonts off genuine Omega samples, making sure there was no differences. Incorrect fonts drive me nuts.
Movement and Finishing
- Custom Rotor: The rotor was meticulous finished with graining, polished surfaces, perlage, and anglage as per gen
- Balance Bridge: The same graining, perlage, and anglage techniques were used as gen
- Lumed Hands: Custom lumed hands were made with matching lume as the indices as per gen
- Full Disassembly and Fine Tuning: The movement underwent complete disassembly, and runs perfectly.
The result of this extensive effort is a watch so precise in its details that it is virtually indistinguishable from the genuine Omega Worldtimer in Sedna Gold when placed side by side. This level of accuracy extends to the case, dial, movement finishing, and overall design ethos, making it a collector’s dream.
A Rare Collector’s Opportunity
This watch represents the pinnacle of custom craftsmanship, a tribute to some of the greatest minds in this forum and in this hobby, a personal labor of love that involved months of hours of design, manufacturing, and refinement. Perhaps at some point in the future, ill draft a full writeup with more photos of the different stages With genuine purchases and new projects on the horizon, I’ve made the difficult decision to part with one of my personal units. This is likely the only time one of these rare builds will appear on the open market.
