In 2011, when he and his wife were expecting their first child, Faizan wanted a watch he could be proud to call a family heirloom years later. He'd always been fascinated by the Omega Speedmaster Pro and dedicated a lot of time to researching its history and heritage; he got his Speedmaster a couple months after the birth of his son. He considers himself a custodian of the watch that his son will own one day.
