You are correct - it is an alarm watch. Crown at 4 o'clock is used for winding / setting the time, crown at 2 o'clock is used for winding / setting the alarm.

This weekend is kinda relaxed for me with just a concert and a diner with friends. Rotonde for me these two days. Have great weekend guys. GEO This message has been edited by DrStrong on 2009-06-18 23:52:29 This message has been edited by MTF on 2009-07-0...
Thank you Jeff

Sarpaneva K1 ..... what else :)

On my wrist is this beauty that hasn't left my wrist since i got it. There is always something new to see and she wears soooooo comfortable...
Yep!
By: Geo : June 19th, 2009-00:56
That rotor looks so good. IMHO The whole thing turns around, not just the lower part, that makes it so different. Very cool watches these Sarpaneva K2 and K3. GEO
Caseback.... your wish is my command ;-)
By: monochrome : June 19th, 2009-01:18
The rotor is fully skelletonized and Sarpaneva used 2 white gold masses at one end of the rotor, leaving a small gap in between. He also drilled a hole in the mainplate, right underneath the date window... and since the datewheel is a disc with hand cut n...
Amazing rotor
By: monochrome : June 19th, 2009-07:13
Yes George... the rotor is all round and moves due to the two white gold masses

Thanks LVT, I am very impressed with this. It is channelling some of the rawness in design of the early Journe tourbillons but is beautifully finished. You are going to have to show us many more photos of this. Thanks again! Andrew
Absolutely stunning!!

By: AlexSunrise : June 19th, 2009-19:28
And I was also lucky enough to learn that one of my most loved watches was also produced in 1980. It took me a year or so to find it, and it is not in the best of conditions, but then again, I also have a scar or two from my almost 29 years of life so far...
Hey, Alex

By: G99 : June 19th, 2009-10:40
as we've discussed on the Omega page, there seems to be an attraction to vintage Omegas that you dont get with other brands. certainly not in such huge numbers anyway. 3 in a row and they all look great. best Graham
