Zenith Academy Christophe Colomb Tribute To Felix Baumgartner Watch
We love and respect Zenith for the El Primero, the rock solid, high-frequency automatic chronograph caliber?¨C accepted by many as?the first of its kind. Over the years, we have seen some very interesting modifications of that movement as well as?some other intriguing concepts from the Le Locle based manufacturer. However,?the Zenith Academy Christophe Colomb with its unique gyroscopic system is?arguably the most impressive and technically challenging movement the now LVMH-owned company has produced since it debuted the El Primero in 1965.?Today, Zenith has announced a new version of this gimbal-equipped movement, the Zenith Academy Christophe Colomb Tribute To Felix Baumgartner.The brand?also likes to call it a "tribute to the first 21st century extreme explorer," and while that may be a bit of a stretch, Felix Baumgartner's attempt to?break the sound barrier with his own body in a free fall from the edge of space in 2012 ¨C while wearing a Zenith Stratos (hands-on here) strapped to his

The beast found it's way back home.
Hi guys. Three years ago I sold my complete set 2208.50 to a good friend of mine to fund a Sub. Before selling it I had it serviced to give my friend a perfect watch with many years of peace of mind. It was a nice gesture and I had no idea it would be useful to me as well. Last friday I was visiting him at his new office and I was surprised with his offer to sell the Omega back to me, and as he kept it absolutely mint, having it back was a no brainer. I'm really happy that my Omega PO 2500 found it's way back home. Thanks for reading, guys.

A Costly Lesson!
Take my advice, if you own this watch never let it go! I bought this watch before discontinuation because I genuinely liked the watch but then got caught up in the value hype train and traded it for a BLNR. Then began a flipping frenzy because nothing lived up to the quality of this timepiece! Ive been through them all, BLNR, Hulk, SUBC No Date, SUB C Date and I finally managed to get this future legendary piece back ¡ê4000 dearer than what I originally paid! Ouch! But in my eyes this is the best Sports model money can buy! Just don't make the same costly mistake I made! P.S. I can finally sleep at night now without waking up in a panic/regret attack of letting my grail go!
