Hey I love the brand as you know, live it even :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin: but red's not my favourite colour to be honest. The red box has become symbolic of something which contains an Omega but wouldn't it be nice if Omega gave us that polished wooden box. It came with my De Ville Co-Axial Byzantium, the only occasion I have been blessed with anything other than a red leatherette case. Being a relative newbie to the collecting scene, I've never had a red box long enough to show signs of wear but I gather from discussions past that the red can fade. Indeed because red is a mixture of yellow and magenta dyes and both these are more susceptible to oxidative fade when in contact with light, red would not really be a durable colour. Sadly, it costs Omega more to give us all polished wooden boxes..... :mellow:
Hey a black leatherette case with a small " gold plate " on the top surface of the lid featuring the Omega name and symbol in red would do me nicely.
How about you?
Y'all be well pals
