The last sport watch you'll ever need to buy., October 25, 2007

This review refers to the Model 2218.50, XL version (45 mm case) with steel bracelet. The opinions of the movement, adjustment and reliability are also applicable to the model with rubber strap and leather / lizard strap.

This is a hefty timepiece, it weighs 9+ ounces (over half a pound), it feels and exudes quality and is bound to illicit a glance and a double take. The domed double anti glare sapphire crystal is super sharp and sometimes hard to determine it is even there.

The exterior is a combination of brushed and polished stainless steel, most notably the trademark Omega horns are this blended finish.

The screw down crown is adorned with the Omega logo and easy to open, the first position enables manual winding for a power boost, the helium escape valve at 10:00 is adorned with the periodic symbol "He".

Clockwise turns of the crown in second position adjusts the date forward, the date can't be adjusted backwards. Time adjustment is easy and rapid; no adjustment for seconds is available.

The unidirectional bezel rotates counter clockwise 120 clicks and lines up perfectly with every second marker, the solid feel of the rotation is nothing less than you'd expect from an Omega.

The luminescent material of this watch is a glow magnet, just a few seconds exposure to sunlight or held close to a lamp will turn the face of this watch into a lighthouse! Combined with the chrome and split bezel hands of the subdials and this timepiece can be used as a signal mirror for low flying aircraft.

The Omega 3313 movement is identical to their 3303 movement except the 3313 has the co-axial escapement, this is the same movement inside the Omega DeVille and will be used in future models.

The accuracy of this watch is only surpassed by my Omega SeaMaster Quartz 300 2221.80, my Quartz Omega never loses or gains a second and the PO gains less than 5 seconds a week. The days I don't wear it, I spend 60 seconds winding it and store it standing vertically for optimum movement.

The bracelet includes the scuba extension of all SeaMasters, but has no convenience pins for rapid adjustment or for bodily weight fluctuation. It releases easily with the double release pins and feels confidently closed when clasped.

I've performed testing of the power reserve, it continues to function about 43 hours with a full wind.

The watch can also function with a running chronograph for over 40 hours on a full wind, that is impressive.

Overall, I'd recommend this watch for anyone who wants an exquisite sport timepiece which isn't out of place at a formal, like all of the Omegas made before it; I expect this watch to endure for my grandchildren and their grandchildren.

Great watch at a great price., April 16, 2008
By O. Flores "oso"

As expected from Amazon, the watch arrived on original Omega packaging, intact serial numbers and Amazon warranty card. It did not include any of the original omega cards. Given that I'm regular customer of Amazon and this was the lowest price I could find, I bought the watch in here. It was delivered as advertised. I'm very happy with the transaction.

This watch has the Seamaster written in red. It has applied metal Omega logo and symbol and metal encased dial markers. It has longer hands than the 2531.80 (watch it replaced). Internally this watch uses the improved coaxial caliber 2500. This watch is the same as the 2220.80 but without the steel bracelet.

Since Omega 2500 movement is thicker than the older 1120 caliber (found in 2531.80), this watch is thicker than the former bond watches. Even though the case has the same size, the difference in thickness comes from an extended caseback. Because of the increased height, this watch may not look as nice with Nato bands as older models did.

I love this watch and the only part of it I would change are the skeleton hands. These are not bad, but the hands of the black dial Seamater are outstanding.

This is as close to "bulletproof" as a watch can get. Omega quality is obvious in every facet of this watch. A must if you work or play in/around the sea.

Omega Men's 2909.50.38 Seamaster Planet Ocean Automatic Chronometer Orange Leather Watch


  • Quality Swiss Automatic movement; Functions without a battery; Powers automatically with the movement of your arm
  • Domed, anti-reflective scratch-resistant sapphire crystal
  • Case diameter: 42 mm
  • Stainless-steel case; Black dial; Date function
  • Water-resistant to 600 M (2000 feet)
  • Manufacturer: Omega
  • Model: 2909.50.38
The Seamaster Planet Ocean from Omega delivers exceptional performance and great style, both above water and below. The polished steel case frames a black dial with luminous hour, minute, and seconds hands and luminous markers for excellent visibility, even in low light conditions. The dial also features orange Arabic numerals and a date display. The dial is capped with a virtually scratch-proof sapphire crystal and framed by a unidirectional rotating steel bezel, in orange, with minute markings and fluted edges for grip. An orange crocodile-textured leather strap completes the look. This Omega watch features self-winding Swiss automatic movement enhanced by Omega's breakthrough co-axial escapement, a technology that ensures high precision and stable accuracy over long periods of use. It is rated water resistant to a full 600 meters (or 2000 feet).

The Omega Story
The Omega watch story begins in 1848, when founder Louis Brandt began hand assembling key-wound precision pocket watches from parts supplied by local craftsmen in his principality La Chaux-de-Fonds, in the northwest corner of Switzerland. However, the Omega name didn't appear until 1894, after Louis Brandt had passed away and his watchmaking traditions were taken over by his sons, Louis-Paul and Cesar Brandt. Omega watches have long been associated with glamorous screen and sports stars--the Omega Seamaster is famous for being the watch of choice for James Bond--with current ambassadors including Pierce Brosnan, Nicole Kidman, tennis player Anna Kournikova, and swimmers Michael Phelps and Ian Thorpe.

But Omega is more than just a fashionable watch. In 1965, the Omega Speedmaster chronograph was "flight-qualified by NASA for all manned space missions" as the only wristwatch to have withstood all of the U.S. space agency's severe tests, including passing grades for extreme shocks, vibrations, and temperatures ranging from -18 to +93 degrees Celsius. The greatest moment in the Speedmaster's history was undoubtedly 20 July 1969 at 02:56 GMT, when it recorded man's first steps on the Moon's surface as part of the Apollo 11 mission. Today, Omega is known for its rigorous testing of new movements, cases, and bands. Each new Omega movement is tested on the wrist in existing Omega models, while various laboratory tests are conducted to determine temperature-resistance, shock-resistance and vibration-resistance.

The last sport watch you'll ever need to buy., September 14, 2007

The last sport watch you'll ever need to buy.

This review refers to the Model 2218.50, XL version (45 mm case) with steel bracelet. The opinions of the movement, adjustment and reliability are also applicable to the model with rubber strap and leather / lizard strap.

This is a hefty timepiece, it weighs 9+ ounces (over half a pound), it feels and exudes quality and is bound to illicit a glance and a double take. The domed double anti glare sapphire crystal is super sharp and sometimes hard to determine it is even there.

The exterior is a combination of brushed and polished stainless steel, most notably the trademark Omega horns are this blended finish.

The screw down crown is adorned with the Omega logo and easy to open, the first position enables manual winding for a power boost, the helium escape valve at 10:00 is adorned with the periodic symbol "He".

Clockwise turns of the crown in second position adjusts the date forward, the date can't be adjusted backwards. Time adjustment is easy and rapid; no adjustment for seconds is available.

The unidirectional bezel rotates counter clockwise 120 clicks and lines up perfectly with every second marker, the solid feel of the rotation is nothing less than you'd expect from an Omega.

The luminescent material of this watch is a glow magnet, just a few seconds exposure to sunlight or held close to a lamp will turn the face of this watch into a lighthouse! Combined with the chrome and split bezel hands of the subdials and this timepiece can be used as a signal mirror for low flying aircraft.

The Omega 3313 movement is identical to their 3303 movement except the 3313 has the co-axial escapement, this is the same movement inside the Omega DeVille and will be used in future models.

The accuracy of this watch is only surpassed by my Omega SeaMaster Quartz 300 2221.80, my Quartz Omega never loses or gains a second and the PO gains less than 5 seconds a week. The days I don't wear it, I spend 60 seconds winding it and store it standing vertically for optimum movement.

The bracelet includes the scuba extension of all SeaMasters, but has no convenience pins for rapid adjustment or for bodily weight fluctuation. It releases easily with the double release pins and feels confidently closed when clasped.

I've performed testing of the power reserve, it continues to function about 43 hours with a full wind.

The watch can also function with a running chronograph for over 40 hours on a full wind, that is impressive.

Overall, I'd recommend this watch for anyone who wants an exquisite sport timepiece which isn't out of place at a formal, like all of the Omegas made before it; I expect this watch to endure for my grandchildren and their grandchildren.




Watchmakers Advice, December 21, 2007
By Claude H. Suddreth "Opinion Expert"

I am rather opinionated when it comes to luxury watches. This comes from spending 2 years in watchmaking school, studying directly under the guidance of a certified master swiss watchmaker who came here from Europe. Watches, especially mid to high grade swiss watches, are a passion of mine. I am not loyal to a brand or a style or anything else. I judge them for what they are, in terms of quality, function, construction, and style. A watchmakers point of view.

This said I will tell you that this particular watch is what I consider to be a "best kept secret" sort of watch. This is an AUTOMATIC watch (read: Mechanical - NOT Quartz), and of CHRONOMETER grade function. Chronometer as used here is a measure of accurate timekeeping, not quality - a point often misunderstood - and is used mostly from a marketing point of view by companies such as Rolex. HOWEVER. This movement in THIS watch is actually EXCELLENT in terms of quality, time keeping ability, and construction - easily comparable to other Swiss made movements from other famous manufacturers costing several times as much. This watch, properly serviced, will provide a lifetime of use - and probably more. Absolutely the sort of watch you pass down to the next generation.

All in all - and EXCELLENT choice - especially for those seeking their first QUALITY Swiss watch purchase.

Definitely recommended!

  • Quality Swiss Automatic movement; Functions without a battery; Powers automatically with the movement of your arm
  • Domed, anti-reflective scratch-resistant sapphire crystal
  • Case diameter: 42 mm

The Seamaster Planet Ocean from Omega delivers exceptional performance and great style, both above water and below. The polished steel case frames a black dial with luminous hour, minute, and seconds hands and luminous markers for excellent visibility, even in low light conditions. The dial also features orange Arabic numerals and a date display. The dial is capped with a virtually scratch-proof sapphire crystal and framed by a unidirectional rotating steel bezel, in orange, with minute markings and fluted edges for grip. An orange crocodile-textured leather strap completes the look. This Omega watch features self-winding Swiss automatic movement enhanced by Omega's breakthrough co-axial escapement, a technology that ensures high precision and stable accuracy over long periods of use. It is rated water resistant to a full 600 meters (or 2000 feet).

The Omega Story
The Omega watch story begins in 1848, when founder Louis Brandt began hand assembling key-wound precision pocket watches from parts supplied by local craftsmen in his principality La Chaux-de-Fonds, in the northwest corner of Switzerland. However, the Omega name didn't appear until 1894, after Louis Brandt had passed away and his watchmaking traditions were taken over by his sons, Louis-Paul and Cesar Brandt. Omega watches have long been associated with glamorous screen and sports stars--the Omega Seamaster is famous for being the watch of choice for James Bond--with current ambassadors including Pierce Brosnan, Nicole Kidman, tennis player Anna Kournikova, and swimmers Michael Phelps and Ian Thorpe.

But Omega is more than just a fashionable watch. In 1965, the Omega Speedmaster chronograph was "flight-qualified by NASA for all manned space missions" as the only wristwatch to have withstood all of the U.S. space agency's severe tests, including passing grades for extreme shocks, vibrations, and temperatures ranging from -18 to +93 degrees Celsius. The greatest moment in the Speedmaster's history was undoubtedly 20 July 1969 at 02:56 GMT, when it recorded man's first steps on the Moon's surface as part of the Apollo 11 mission. Today, Omega is known for its rigorous testing of new movements, cases, and bands. Each new Omega movement is tested on the wrist in existing Omega models, while various laboratory tests are conducted to determine temperature-resistance, shock-resistance and vibration-resistance.

The last sport watch you'll ever need to buy., September 14, 2007
By Anonymous "Anonymous"

The last sport watch you'll ever need to buy.

This review refers to the Model 2218.50, XL version (45 mm case) with steel bracelet. The opinions of the movement, adjustment and reliability are also applicable to the model with rubber strap and leather / lizard strap.

This is a hefty timepiece, it weighs 9+ ounces (over half a pound), it feels and exudes quality and is bound to illicit a glance and a double take. The domed double anti glare sapphire crystal is super sharp and sometimes hard to determine it is even there.

The exterior is a combination of brushed and polished stainless steel, most notably the trademark Omega horns are this blended finish.

The screw down crown is adorned with the Omega logo and easy to open, the first position enables manual winding for a power boost, the helium escape valve at 10:00 is adorned with the periodic symbol "He".

Clockwise turns of the crown in second position adjusts the date forward, the date can't be adjusted backwards. Time adjustment is easy and rapid; no adjustment for seconds is available.

The unidirectional bezel rotates counter clockwise 120 clicks and lines up perfectly with every second marker, the solid feel of the rotation is nothing less than you'd expect from an Omega.

The luminescent material of this watch is a glow magnet, just a few seconds exposure to sunlight or held close to a lamp will turn the face of this watch into a lighthouse! Combined with the chrome and split bezel hands of the subdials and this timepiece can be used as a signal mirror for low flying aircraft.

The Omega 3313 movement is identical to their 3303 movement except the 3313 has the co-axial escapement, this is the same movement inside the Omega DeVille and will be used in future models.

The accuracy of this watch is only surpassed by my Omega SeaMaster Quartz 300 2221.80, my Quartz Omega never loses or gains a second and the PO gains less than 5 seconds a week. The days I don't wear it, I spend 60 seconds winding it and store it standing vertically for optimum movement.

The bracelet includes the scuba extension of all SeaMasters, but has no convenience pins for rapid adjustment or for bodily weight fluctuation. It releases easily with the double release pins and feels confidently closed when clasped.

I've performed testing of the power reserve, it continues to function about 43 hours with a full wind.

The watch can also function with a running chronograph for over 40 hours on a full wind, that is impressive.

Overall, I'd recommend this watch for anyone who wants an exquisite sport timepiece which isn't out of place at a formal, like all of the Omegas made before it; I expect this watch to endure for my grandchildren and their grandchildren.

Omega Men's 2900.51.82 Seamaster Planet Ocean Automatic Chronometer Watch


  • Quality Swiss Automatic movement; Functions without a battery; Powers automatically with the movement of your arm
  • Domed, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal
  • Case diameter: 45.5 mm
  • Stainless-steel case; Black dial; Date function
  • Water-resistant to 600 M (2000 feet)
  • Manufacturer: Omega
  • Model: 2900.51.82
Dive into the action with Omega's Seamaster Planet Ocean, the choice of Olympians Michael Phelps and Ian Thorpe thanks to its amazing water resistance to 600 meters (984 feet). Offering a contemporary style, the silver watch case is topped by a unidirectional elapsed time bezel in black, which frames the black dial. The face includes large luminous hour markers, orange Arabic numerals at the quarter hours, oversized hands (with seconds hand), and a date window at 3 o'clock. It's matched to a smooth black leather strap with orange contrast stitching. Other features include a 48-hour power reserve and a scratch-resistant and glare-proofed domed sapphire crystal.

It's powered by Omega's break-through Co-Axial escapement. Developed in conjunction with master watchmaker George Daniels, it's based on double co-axial escape wheel, a lever with three pallet stones and impulse stone on the balance roller, together with a free sprung-balance. The Co-Axial escapement system reduces sliding friction compared with the lever escapement and thus ensures greater accuracy over time.

This watch also features the Omega 2500 caliber automatic movement, which has been certified as a chronometer by the COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer Control). Only 3 percent of watches produced in Switzerland are "chronometer-certified." To achieve this highly coveted certification, the movements are subjected to numerous tests over a period of 15 consecutive days and nights, in five positions and at three different temperatures.

Great Value in Premium Watches, November 27, 2009
By Nimajneb

I have a couple of luxury watches - a Girard Perregaux that I use for formal occasions and a Tag Heuer for everyday use. The steel band on my Tag broke, and I used that as an excuse to finally upgrade. I considered a Rolex, Cartier (Roadster), Breitling, Omega, or another GP. After prowling around luxury watch forums/reviews, I settled on the Omega SPS as having the best value for the money. Rolex makes great watches, but they're so ubiquitous with so many fakes floating around that it doesn't feel "special". Cartier seems to be widely panned by luxury watch afficionados - apparently its mechanism is so sensitive that it must be sent in to Cartier for routine maintenance every 3-5 years at a cost of $700 a pop!! The Breitling models I liked have monstrous sizes...they looked incongrous on my 7" wrist. In the end, I settled on the Omega SPS - and I believe I made the right decision. It's gorgeous - it looks and feels substantitive without looking pretentious. The red/orange 6, 9, and 12 numbers on the dial catches the eye. I think this is a great luxury watch for everyday use. It certainly feels like it can take a lot of abuse.

The luminescent material of this watch is a glow magnet, just a few seconds exposure to sunlight or held close to a lamp will turn the face of this watch into a lighthouse! Combined with the chrome and split bezel hands of the subdials and this timepiece can be used as a signal mirror for low flying aircraft.

The Omega 3313 movement is identical to their 3303 movement except the 3313 has the co-axial escapement, this is the same movement inside the Omega DeVille and will be used in future models.

The accuracy of this watch is only surpassed by my Omega SeaMaster Quartz 300 2221.80, my Quartz Omega never loses or gains a second and the PO gains less than 5 seconds a week. The days I don't wear it, I spend 60 seconds winding it and store it standing vertically for optimum movement.

The bracelet includes the scuba extension of all SeaMasters, but has no convenience pins for rapid adjustment or for bodily weight fluctuation. It releases easily with the double release pins and feels confidently closed when clasped.

I've performed testing of the power reserve, it continues to function about 43 hours with a full wind.

The watch can also function with a running chronograph for over 40 hours on a full wind, that is impressive.

Overall, I'd recommend this watch for anyone who wants an exquisite sport timepiece which isn't out of place at a formal, like all of the Omegas made before it; I expect this watch to endure for my grandchildren and their grandchildren.




Watchmakers Advice, December 21, 2007
By Claude H. Suddreth "Opinion Expert"

I am rather opinionated when it comes to luxury watches. This comes from spending 2 years in watchmaking school, studying directly under the guidance of a certified master swiss watchmaker who came here from Europe. Watches, especially mid to high grade swiss watches, are a passion of mine. I am not loyal to a brand or a style or anything else. I judge them for what they are, in terms of quality, function, construction, and style. A watchmakers point of view.

This said I will tell you that this particular watch is what I consider to be a "best kept secret" sort of watch. This is an AUTOMATIC watch (read: Mechanical - NOT Quartz), and of CHRONOMETER grade function. Chronometer as used here is a measure of accurate timekeeping, not quality - a point often misunderstood - and is used mostly from a marketing point of view by companies such as Rolex. HOWEVER. This movement in THIS watch is actually EXCELLENT in terms of quality, time keeping ability, and construction - easily comparable to other Swiss made movements from other famous manufacturers costing several times as much. This watch, properly serviced, will provide a lifetime of use - and probably more. Absolutely the sort of watch you pass down to the next generation.

All in all - and EXCELLENT choice - especially for those seeking their first QUALITY Swiss watch purchase.

Definitely recommended!

The last sport watch you'll ever need to buy., September 14, 2007
By Anonymous "Anonymous"

The last sport watch you'll ever need to buy.

This review refers to the Model 2218.50, XL version (45 mm case) with steel bracelet. The opinions of the movement, adjustment and reliability are also applicable to the model with rubber strap and leather / lizard strap.

This is a hefty timepiece, it weighs 9+ ounces (over half a pound), it feels and exudes quality and is bound to illicit a glance and a double take. The domed double anti glare sapphire crystal is super sharp and sometimes hard to determine it is even there.

The exterior is a combination of brushed and polished stainless steel, most notably the trademark Omega horns are this blended finish.

The screw down crown is adorned with the Omega logo and easy to open, the first position enables manual winding for a power boost, the helium escape valve at 10:00 is adorned with the periodic symbol "He".

Clockwise turns of the crown in second position adjusts the date forward, the date can't be adjusted backwards. Time adjustment is easy and rapid; no adjustment for seconds is available.

Omega Men's 2517.80.00 Seamaster Aqua Terra Quartz Watch


  • Precise Swiss-Quartz movement
  • Domed, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal
  • Case diameter: 39.2 mm
  • Stainless-steel case; Blue dial; Date function
  • Water-resistant to 500 feet (150 M)
  • Manufacturer: Omega
  • Model: 2517.80.00
Set sail with confidence and style to points unknown with this classic Omega Aqua Terra stainless steel men's Swiss quartz watch, part of Omega's Seamaster line. As comfortable negotiating deals in the boardroom as it is navigating the breaking seas, this highly accurate timepiece features a large, round silver stainless steel watch case with a rhodium-plated finish that blends brushed and polished surfaces and measures 39.2mm (1.54 inches) wide.

It has a slightly raised, highly polished bezel that frames a deep blue dial background with thin, silver Dauphine hands and stick dial markers in silver tone, and small minute indexes. Other features include a date display at 3 o'clock, end of battery life indicator, up to 36-month power reserve, scratch-resistant and glare-proofed domed sapphire crystal, and water resistance to 150 meters (500 feet). It's completed by a silver stainless steel link bracelet band that offers polished highlights, which is joined by a fold-over clasp. This adjustable band measures 7 inches in length.

The Omega Story
The Omega watch story begins in 1848, when founder Louis Brandt began hand assembling key-wound precision pocket watches from parts supplied by local craftsmen in his principality La Chaux-de-Fonds, in the northwest corner of Switzerland. However, the Omega name didn't appear until 1894, after Louis Brandt had passed away and his watchmaking traditions were taken over by his sons, Louis-Paul and Cesar Brandt. Omega watches have long been associated with glamorous screen and sports stars--the Omega Seamaster is famous for being the watch of choice for James Bond--with current ambassadors including Pierce Brosnan, Nicole Kidman, tennis player Anna Kournikova, and swimmers Michael Phelps and Ian Thorpe.

But Omega is more than just a fashionable watch. In 1965, the Omega Speedmaster chronograph was "flight-qualified by NASA for all manned space missions" as the only wristwatch to have withstood all of the U.S. space agency's severe tests, including passing grades for extreme shocks, vibrations, and temperatures ranging from -18 to +93 degrees Celsius. The greatest moment in the Speedmaster's history was undoubtedly 20 July 1969 at 02:56 GMT, when it recorded man's first steps on the Moon's surface as part of the Apollo 11 mission. Today, Omega is known for its rigorous testing of new movements, cases, and bands. Each new Omega movement is tested on the wrist in existing Omega models, while various laboratory tests are conducted to determine temperature-resistance, shock-resistance and vibration-resistance.

Great watch, August 17, 2008
By Fabien Ponchard

The watch is great.
The UPs wa a nightmare I had to call them 5 times to get the item delivered correctly.
I have also just received to invoiced from UPS for a total of 150 eurs for postage. The postage was included when I ordered on the site.
I think that is a scandal.
The sender didn't fill out the warrenty card so for omega I do not have the 2 year warranty.

Why does one guy rate 5 3000.00 watches?, August 23, 2010
By Chris A. Skalski "max power"

Dear anonymous. If you don't OWN 5 Omega watches, then please do not rate 5 Omega Watches. Whether it is your fault or Amazon's, it looks cheesy. Also, no self respecting timepiece owner of this quality buys it sight unseen online. Ridiculous. It took weeks for me to decide on the new Sea-master, and if you really know watches then you know it needs to be sized to fit your wrist. So, if it feels like dead weight on your wrist, then its YOUR FAULT for buying this quality timepiece online.

Sincerely,

Max Power

The best watch, November 2, 2010
By Jlopez

The best watch I've had so far. It is simply spectacular and the best at a good price.



Oh-Mega- Deal........, August 2, 2010
By STA

I recently purchased OMEGA James bond collection, Black Dial- Quartz from DUBAI. I can vouch for OMEGA'S built quality and moderate pricing, i.e. if one is comparing with Rolex Submariner. I am not a watch connoisseur myself, but certainly have an eye of attractive and quality watches, with an omega you can carry off with jeans, cargoes, swimming trunks,shorts, suits and what not.... There is no dearth of shopping malls in UAE and I always kept trying various watches to get the feel of them, before zeroing down to Omega. I am not here to take anything away from Rolex, but would like to add that Rolex being a strong brand, has overpriced their products. Rolex buyers certainly need deep pockets and reckon end up paying for brand Rolex rather then watch. Anyways these are my opinions. Omega's built quality of bracelet and watch case screams class, bracelet without being dull nor flashy is evenly poised for casual and formal wear. I personally prefer the Black Dial to the blue, BLACK CONTRAST stands out "PERIOD". Blue is always great but inclines more towards the casual look. Off course James Bond wore the blue, COZ he never had the black :) My father insisted that I pick up automatic instead of the quartz. Cost difference was one of the driving factor for me to pick up the quartz, also I am not into adjusting time regularly when the watch stops. I also feel It is a old school of thought and watch makers capitalize on sentiments that automatic watches are piece of art, yes they may be, but can the automatic guarantee precision timekeeping like their quartz counterparts, from what I have heard and read probably not. Plus why would I want to invest on mechanical watches, which can have unforeseen liabilities, especially considering the fact there are countless parts which keep the watch ticking. To conclude if you have something for watches and intend to spend moderate sum of money, then OMEGA is for you. One more word of advice, please ask the seller to bring the watch hands to 11.57 , i.e. few minutes away from when it strikes 12.00 and observe till the watch strikes 12.00 to see that the two hands are in line with the 12 .00 hr sign. i.e. exactly plum with the 12 hr sign. The reason is few watches might have unit specific errors (note: not referring to omega alone) and it is always better to check before you strike the deal.(Rolex and Automatic watch lovers no heart feelings pls) Each watch has a character of its own. Best of luck....



Really Love this Omega, September 19, 2010
By Waqar Mustafa

I own this watch for almost few months now. All I can say is this is a wonderful timepiece. The craftsmanship on this watch is excellent. You can dress up or dress down. Initially I was going to buy it from Amazon but I got 30% off from local AD so later on I decided to buy it from there. I decided to buy a quartz version because I did not feel like paying extra $1,000 for same watch. Overall very satisfied with the watch and highly recommended.
