Article contributed by E.M. Maximilien: Omega is known for being the brand with the first watch (Speedmaster) on the moon, however, the best selling Omega watch might be the Seamaster series; which includes the very watch worn by secret agent 007 since 1995 and more recently in the 2008Quantum of Solace James Bond movie.In 2012, Omega is marking the 50th anniversary of the Jam [...]

I love what Omega offers for the balanced diet watch consumer. Theres really no shortage of excellent and really practical pieces in Omegas catalog, but last week at Omega Days 2022 in Miami, the brand released a trio of solid-gold Speedmaster Moonwatch Professionals that are wonderfully excessive in the best possible way. While the green dia [...]

The past few years have seen watch brands increasingly turning toward vibrant color as a way to set their products apart from the pack. Sports/dress hybrid watches, in particular, have led the charge in this area, and as part of its 2022 novelties, Omega joins the growing trend with a rainbow of rich new sunburst dials for the versatile Seamaster Aqua Terra line. Split be [...]

For 2022, Omega has revamped the Speedmaster 57 updated with a new manual-wind METAS-certified movement and a slimmer case. Theres no shortage of style and color options, either, with four variants - two on a new stainless steel bracelet and two with colored dials paired with matching leather straps. The Speedmaster 57 has been the more vintage-inspired cousin of the Moonwatch, [...]

It was only a matter of time, right? After?private equity investor-turned-ocean-explorer Victor Vescovos record-setting 2019 dive to Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench, the prototype?Omega Seamaster Ultra Deep Professional strapped to the robotic arm of his submersible is finally being made available in a slightly pared-back civilian variant.

The latest and darkest addition to our ever-growing collection of horological art prints is the first over an all-black background! When Edwin Buzz Aldrin wore his Omega Speedmaster as he joined Armstrong on the lunar surface on July 20th, 1969, he made it the first watch ever worn on the moon. Deserv [...]

2022 is shaping up to be a landmark year for Omegas sports watches. This year marks the 65th anniversary for the Speedmaster series (along with the Seamaster 300 and the Railmaster), and the Swiss marque has seized the opportunity to kick off a year of festivities with a new rendition of the 1957 original. Combining a highly faithful recreation of the very [...]

Although it may not garner the same overwhelming enthusiast attention as its Seamaster or Speedmaster series, the Omega Constellation series serves as both a showcase for the brands dressier design sensibilities and a testbed for its in-house movement designs. The retro-styled Constellation Globemaster sub-line is a perfect example of this, reinterpreting the look [...]

Blocks away from where I originally started in San Francisco, I found myself enjoying the hospitality of Omegas newest boutique near the popular Union Square shopping district. Omega invited a legion of press partners, clients, retailers, ambassadors, and special friends to celebrate not just the new store opening, but also Omegas symbolic return to full [...]

Although the pandemic-delayed 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo are only a few months past, the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics are already fast approaching. As the official timekeeper for the Olympic Games, Omega has a long legacy of commemorative Olympic tie-in watches, and for 2022 the brand aims to evoke the look of the Winter Olympics defining feature-fresh sno [...]

In September 2021 on , Omega debuted a revival to a historic name with the Omega Speedmaster Co-Axial Master Chronometer Chronograph watches here. The Chronoscope name is over 100 years old now, as I understand it, and was an early term used to describe a wristwatch able to show the time (which is how chronoscope translates from Greek). The name, along with the [...]

The sun isnt supposed to shine like this on the Northern California coast. Well, not this time of year, anyway - and most certainly not around this hour in the evening. But here we are - skimming alongside the Marin Headlands in a crimson Robinson R44 with nary a patch of fog to be seen, the late-summer sun bathing the cabin in a warm glow. The pilot banks hard at [...]

Along with many things in life, the latest James Bond 007 movie was delayed due to the pandemic after it was originally meant to be released in 2019. That is why our original debut article about the Omega Seamaster 300M 007 Edition No Time To Die watch was back in 2019. Now, in the fall of 2021, the latest James Bond story, No [...]

When most enthusiasts think of chronographs from Omega, the first watch to come to mind is the classic, functional handwound Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch. However, before the Moonwatch or even the introduction of the Speedmaster series in 1957, Omega had a decades-long legacy of chronograph production with a far more ornate and detailed stylistic bent. [...]

As the world heads deeper into mid-July 2021, the pandemic-delayed Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games are finally slated to begin on July 23rd. While this historic delay has kept fans across the globe from experiencing the athletic spectacle of the Olympic Games, official partner Omega has taken the past year to expand its range of Tokyo 2020-inspired designs. As th [...]

Effervescent. Its the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra, in a word. Its the twist and the crack, the soft hissing of bubbles, and the satisfying clear liquid cascading from a tall frosted bottle into a cold rocks glass. Its the soft clinking of ice cubes at waters edge. And with its colorful array of offerings, its bubbly personality, and its sharply ren [...]

Color matters more than ever in the realm of fine watches. It isnt just that consumers are interested in an ever-expanding palette of available choices, but also that sometimes a watch doesnt catch your eye until it is offered in just the right color combination. Marketers have long known the value of choosing the right colors, and y [...]

As vaccines begin to roll out around the globe and the world looks toward the end of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, one of the most hopeful signs for the near future is the return of major public events like concerts and sporting events. The Olympic Games are perhaps the largest example of this, and strange as it may sound, the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo are [...]

As we said in its news debut at the time: Among the Omega faithful, few Speedmaster models carry the cache of the legendary Ed White. The original model, predating the signature Omega twisted-lug design, became immortal on the wrist of the astronaut of the same name during Americas first spacewalk in 1965. A fan of all things Speedmaster (yes [...]

While Omegas sports watch designs typically dominate the conversation surrounding the brand (at least in most Western markets), its extensive dress-oriented side has historically been a breeding ground for classic models. The elegantly minimal De Ville Tresor line carries on this tradition for 2021, blending clean and elemental dress sensibilities with the brands [...]
