• Mikko’s SMP

  Mikko Hyppönen, famed IT security researcher and longtime head of research at F-Secure, has been wearing an Omega Seamaster Professional original blue wave dial “Bond Watch” as a daily driver for 25 years now. His is a few years ahead of mine and the full-size version, and he’s rocking the original bracelet, but he’s basically my brother-in-watch.
