While it may not be the marques highest-profile model line, the Constellation series is one of Omegas most enduring nameplates as part of the collection since 1952. The design-focused model line has always been a showcase for Omegas chronometer movements, but the most enduring change came in 1982 when the brand introduced a distinctive, streamlined new design that has rema [...]

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. As its first release of 2020, the brand has reintroduced the Ed White as part of its regular lin [...]

Did they do it? Did they do the Worldtimer in steel? I had to know. It was only the second day at Baselworld 2019, and already Omega was showing its latest novelties in secret, but to retailers only - with no media present and certainly no photographs allowed.

I love the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean. In fact, I wrote an 8,000 word history of the Planet Ocean, a collection that I refer to as a modern icon. Fortunately, for fans of the PO, Omega just announced a new three-hand version that looks to its past (well, back to 2005) with an orange bezel. Its the classic [...]

Traditionally speaking, Omega tends to wait a year or so to roll its latest innovations into the regular line, so Im not totally surprised that we were forced to wait nearly three full years to get the Aqua Terra Worldtimer in stainless steel after its initial debut in platinum back in 2017, but Id be l [...]
