Omega Speedmaster Watch Model Display Base

Being a watch enthusiast, I'm fascinated by collecting anything related to Swiss watch manufacturers. The Omega Speedmaster chronograph gained fame as the first watch worn on the moon, and since then, numerous variations of the Speedmaster have been introduced. This 6-inch diameter (150 mm) display base is designed for desktop use or wall hanging, making it an excellent conversation piece for Omega fans. The accuracy of the font used to create these parts will impress anyone familiar with Omega watches. The display base consists of three basic components: a circular base, the Omega font, and the Speedmaster font. Ideally, you'll want to print these separately in three different colors. If not, suitable paint can be used to coat them in your favorite shade. I chose to mimic the Omega "Blue side of the moon" Speedmaster watch face, as the red and silver font colors really stand out against the dark blue circular base. The fonts are printed inversely so that the finished side faces upwards. A small amount of CA adhesive will attach these pieces to the circular base. Both fonts have a slight negative rake to prevent interference when fitting them to the circular base. Some trimming may be necessary on each letter, but using Brim should make it easy to remove flash with a small trimming knife. Enjoy!
