Dressed in white for link the midnight-blue model or black for the light-gray variant, these sub-dials feature dauphine-style hands highlighted by link a line of Super-LumiNova®, as do the central hour and minute markers and the applied hour-markers link curved by a matching flange.

First off, it's not noticeable at first, but if link you look at the watch closely, it has very strong, straight lugs instead of the more widely known twisted lyre lugs, which appeared a few years later. It's one of those differences people know to appreciate if they know about vintage Speedmasters. It also has the applied Omega logo with the caliber 321 link movement, compared to the printed Omega logo with the caliber 861 movement in the later link models. It's simply a sharp-looking watch, inside and out.

The watch reminds me of nothing so much as the great stage magicians of the 19th century and their elaborate illusions particularly Robert-Houdin's "The Marvellous link Orange Tree" in which a spectator's handkerchief vanishes link into an egg then a lemon then an orange and then finally reappears inside an orange which grows on the branches of an orange tree before the eyes link of the audience. The handkerchief is revealed by two mechanical butterflies.
