Omega Aqua Terra GMT Watch Review
Executed in beautiful copper-colored 18 carat gold, we have the Omega Aqua Terra GMT reference 231.50.43.22.06.002 in for review today. Defining the high end of the Aqua Terra GMT series, I was delighted when Omega offered to let me borrow one for review.

Omega Fan Writes Own 007 Skyfall Theme Song To Beat Of Co-Axial Escapement
Adam Optican wants an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean so badly he wrote a song to the beat of its Omega in-house made calibre 8500 Co-Axial movement. The song is a fan redo of the 2012 James Bond 007 Skyfall movie theme. This is of course appropriate because Omega is the official watch of James Bond, [...]
Omega Seamaster Ploprof 1200M Watch Review
An ad for the original Omega Ploprof stated, “It may not look pretty on the surface, but deep down it’s beautiful.” It is a curious statement for an official advertisement, but well sums up a lot of what the original early 1970s super diver was all about. Omega was one of the lead innovators along [...]

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 2008″Quantum of Solace” James Bond movie.

Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Ceragold Watches Hands-On
For 2012 Omega released a new 18k red gold version of the Seamaster Planet Ocean three-hand and chronograph models with a new type of “Ceragold” bezel. Ceragold is more or less the gold version of Liquidmetal (that I discussed in more detail here). It is a special process that Omega uses to inset gold in [...]
Collecting Vintage Omega Watches
Introduction A little while back I wrote a defense (or justification, depending on how you look at it) of vintage watch collecting for aBlogtoRead. Following up on that, I’d like to share a bit more of my passion for all timekeepers vintage by presenting a “state of the market” article. My personal interest, and the [...]
Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Co-Axial Chronometer Watch Review

Omega Seamaster 1948 Co-Axial Chronometer Watch Hands-On
Driving in London is bad enough, but during the 2012 Summer Olympics it is going to be even worse. Omega will be there. Omega is always there. I hope they have a few private helicopters for the event (or hotels within walking distance of ALL the events). As the long-time official timer of the Olympics, [...]
Omega Presents The 2011 Seamaster Planet Ocean Watch Collection
A medium-sized speed boat motors us away from Naples and it is hot. The ancient city I am moving away from is colorful — but that describes most of Italy. Italy is vibrantly alive, dirty, and passionate. It is also serious watch lover territory. I am pretty sure this is where large watches got their [...]
Looking At Liquid Metal Watches With Omega
The modern arms race with watches isn’t about gears and pinions, but rather materials. It may appear that brands are hot on beating each others’ movements but they know that such a war would be a joke.
