The following is an Omega communiqué that has just reached the newsroom:
It is with great regret that Omega Italia announces that around 200 watches from the Swiss parent company destined for our market were stolen during the Immaculate Conception period. Of the prestigious timepieces, as many as 15 are the Speedmaster Apollo 13 Silver Snoopy Award celebratory edition, limited to 1,970 pieces, as well as five Seamaster 300 Spectre, the iconic watch worn by the famous agent 007 in the latest chapter of the saga.
The authorities in charge are investigating in order to recover the goods. The company strongly discourages the purchase of watches through unofficial channels.
