From James Bond to the Space Program: Omega Watches
Omega is famous for being the first watch on the moon and the preferred choice of secret agent James Bond. Omega was the first manufacturer to introduce a 1000 m diving watch, at the polar caps, and in space - Omega has long enjoyed an intimate involvement with the US Space Program.
The Omega Automatic Speedmaster Watch has a stainless-steel band and case that features a tachometer on the bezel. A handsome, black dial boasts three sub-dials and classic silver-tone hour markers as well as stick minute indicators. This reliable, heirloom-worthy watch offers luminescent, silver-tone hands to round out its cool, metallic design.
I’ll admit that the "James Bond" in the watch name caught my eye. It is, however, truly a gorgeous watch. The Omega Seamaster Men’s Blue Dial Blue Divers Bezel Stainless Steel Automatic James Bond Watch features stainless steel case and bracelet, blue dial with luminous hands and hour markers date at the 3 o'clock position. It has a chronometer and is water resistant to 300 meters.
The Omega Men's Seamaster Chronograph Chronometer Watch sports a stainless steel band and stainless steel case and features a black rotating bezel with a handsome mix of Arabic-numeral and geometric indicators. A black dial reveals four sub-dials, luminescent skeleton hands, dash hour indicators, and stick minute markers create a gorgeous timepiece that's rated water resistant to 300 meters.
The Omega Women's Constellation Two-Tone Watch features an 18kt gold and stainless-steel case, full bar bracelet, and a mother-of-pearl dial.
