Omega Speedmaster Pro Rattrapante
Jun 28, 2011,09:01 AM
Hi to all, I came across this Omega Speedmaster Professional Rattrapante in a secondhand shop today. Without box & papers, the asking price is low & rather attractive to buy. Still in consideration and managed to find some but not a great deal of information on this watch background. Only discovered it was made from 1999-2001 just 5000 pieces made, modified 7750 movement & has a carbon fiber dial. The case does look very much like my X-33. Anyone owns one of these & would like to share their own views on this watch?
BR,
Ian

Bought it

Definitely more, IMO, attractive than most Speedmaster Professional watches. Bought it after shop offered a good bargain. It's COSC certified, Caliber 3600 (modified 7750), rattrapante function with carbon fiber dial. According to my search, Omega made on...

I think you did well. It's not super rare but hard enough to find.

Yours is my favorite dial of all three available. I was in college when this watch came out but as you can imagine the $$$ was hard to find. I had one Speedmaster and Seamaster each at that time and was saving up for my first Moonwatch so I had to pass. T...
its not from Omega's greatest period Ian, but the 7750 is bomb proof

you cant go far wrong with a 7750 inside and it does look quite nice. i'm assuming from your list of Omega's that you like chronographs. i'd quite like your opinion on the ownership of the Olympic 5 dial Speedy and whether those 2 extra dials are worth ha...
good move

Looks like a great find. I'd certainly do it for a nice price.

Omega watches always have a place in my collection, come to think of it, I have had other Omega watches, like the Moon watch, and couple of Seamaster from various Winter Olympic Limited Edition but sold them years ago. I have yet to accept the looks of th...

Hi I remember when this watch was announced... Chuck and myself thought it was a cool item, Chuck ordered one ASAP. It had a arrival date of later that year.... Well there were complications with 7750 modification for the rattrapante function. Took alot l...
Rattrapante and X-33
By: Watches4ever : July 3rd, 2011-03:09
Thanks for all your comments. I took out my X-33 and took some photos just then, the Rattrapante & X-33 show many similarities when they are side-by-side. My X-33 according to Speedmaster-mission.net is the first model when released, on the back o...
