this Omega strongly resembles a Corum 285-180-20-0F73-EE40R Men's watch lobster tail

The bracelet on this Omega strongly resembles a Corum 285-180-20-0F73-EE40R Men's watch lobster tail, and it is unlike any other bracelet Omega has produced, and in our opinion it is ahead of it’s time, in terms of style.It’s also apparently very well constructed and surprisingly comfortable.Given this bracelet, along with the large case and the rectangular pushers and you’ve got a Speedmaster that doesn’t look much like your common or garden Speedy, but this 1975 Speedsonic looks very, very cool.For more about the Speedsonic Lobster, check out the late Chuck Maddox’s review.This particular Omega Speedsonic Lobster is up on ebay at the moment with a buy it now price of $2400, click here for more details.

Editor's Note: What's most interesting about the Speedsonic is that while most collectors consider this model part of the Speedmaster family, the caseback on all Lobsters actually reads "Seamaster". Felix Scholz in Omega, Omega Speedmaster Corum 285-180-20-0F71-FM40R Men's watch Professional, Speedmaster, Vintage Tuesday, November 9, 2010 at 1:00PM Everyone knows the Omega Speedmaster, but all do not know every generation of the Speedmaster.Sure, there is modern-day automatic, the classic professional, the rarer caliber 321 "moon watch", the pre-professional, and the broad arrow, but what about that lost generation of Speedmasters made in that lost decade we call the 70s?

The battery powers the f300, a tuning fork movement, the same technology used in the popular Bulova Accutrons.The Speedsonic (sounds cool doesn’t it?) was actually produced for quite a while, from 1973 to 1980, by which time quartz had clearly driven the the last nail in the coffin of the transitional tuning fork technology.The Corum 285-181-20-F701-SHRK Men's watch Speedsonic was produced in four variants, of which the one we’ve found for you today is the rarest and most desired by Omega fans - it’s nicknamed the ‘Lobster’ and it’s easy to see why.
