The first time I saw the Omega Speedmaster X-33 analog-digital watch, I didn’t like it all that much. I had just started collecting Russian mechanical watches and was turning up my nose at quartz watches. But a few days later, I just had to have one.
Sadly, Omega discontinued the X-33 in 2006. Used examples are available, but at prices starting around $2000, well beyond what I'm willing to spend on a watch. So, as is my custom when something costs more than I'm willing to spend, I made my own.
