··ΩF InvestiGatorIn the thread for new acquisitions, I mentioned that I had a new arrival and gave the following hints:
Well they arrived yesterday. Unfortunately, one of the two was DOA and will likely go back to the seller, but here's the keeper:
Bulova licensed some Accutron movements to Omega for the F300 series and like rotary engine Mazdas (the last of which was the RX-8), it goes Hmmm.
I love this dial as I've always wanted a linen pattern dial and it has the bonus 3D onyx markers, a la Omega. The hands still glow in the dark a little bit.
A quick hairy wrist shot.
The watch is in excellent unpolished condition and apparently has been adjusted to use modern 1.55V silver oxide batteries.
Happy Holidays and hope the Watch Santa is good to you tomorrow!

PS - I have an incoming twofer this week which could challenge these. Both are Non-Omegas, but I'll give you two hints:
1. Some Omegas have very similar movements, and
2. They both have something in common with vintage Mazdas
