My new £12.50 Lorus Speedmaster work watch

Recommended Posts

Been missing my Seiko Flightmaster 12hr chrono ever since I sold it last year, and haven't been able to pick one up at a decent price since. But last month I spotted this Lorus in Debenhams for £80 and after getting outbid on a few, I landed this one last week for £12.50. RESULT! 

It features the same 7T92 Seiko movement (badged as a YM92) so has a 12hr 1/20th sec chrono, and is a deadringer for the Blue speedmaster date. Perfect for work on my speedie velcro. 

I'm now keeping an eye out for is any Lorus or Pulsar with the YM32 movement which is the same Microstepper alarm movement as the better known Seiko 7T32.

Anyway,  on to the comparison pics, Lorus is 40mm, Omega is 39.
