Up for sale today is a watch that looks like it was pulled straight from an arcade cabinet in 1978: the **Omax Crystal 'Space Invader'**. If you’re a fan of the "Space Age" era of Swiss watchmaking, this is a heavy-duty statement piece. It shares the same bold design language as the famous "Spaceman" series that put Omax on the map for avant-garde collectors. The defining feature is the **Optical Green Crystal**. While the dial beneath it is actually white with a subtle, horizontal "brushed" texture, the heavily tinted green crystal transforms the entire face into a glowing, vibrant emerald. This creates a deep "floating" effect, as the **indices and minute markers** are actually printed on the underside of the crystal itself—resembling a retro radar or sonar display. To complete the mission-ready look, it features sharp **black baton hands** and a **vivid orange sweeping seconds hand** for a high-contrast pop—ensuring legibility even in the deepest corners of the galaxy. The case is a **robust, armored UFO-style** design. Made of chrome-plated base metal, it has a thick, high-polish presence that feels industrial and indestructible. It comes on its **original stainless steel bracelet**, featuring textured center links that perfectly match the "armored" aesthetic of the head. *🔹* ***Key Dimensions*** * **Case Diameter:** 38mm (without crown) * **Lug-to-Lug:** 42mm * **Thickness:** 10.5mm * **Lug Width:** 18mm ***🕰️ A Bit of History*** Omax was founded in 1946 in Geneva, Switzerland, and by the 1970s, they became world-renowned for their collaboration with designer **André Le Marquand**, who created the famous "Spaceman" series. This "Crystal" model is a direct descendant of that design language—built for an era that was obsessed with the future, space travel, and bold geometry. 💵 **Price: $175 shipped!** 📦 **Payment: PayPal F&F** or G&S (**+4.5% fee by buyer**) or **bank wire (US banks accepted)** 📩 **DM me for more photos or a custom timestamp.** This is a rare chance to own a piece of Swiss "Space Age" history that still looks futuristic 50 years later.
