Owner Review: Omega Speedmaster MK40
If you asked me what I think about the Omega Speedmaster MK40, I would tell you it is an extremely nice watch. It wears comfortably on the wrist, goes well with many outfits, and is a very low key watch. It’s got a lot of quirky functions that make it a very unique -and colorful-…

Owner Review: Omega Seamaster Professional Diver 300M
Today we are going to talk about one of my favourite divers ever: the Omega Seamaster Professional Diver 300M. This story goes back to when I saw the James Bond movie Golden Eye as a kid, Pierce Brosnan wore his Seamaster with the characteristic waves on the watch face. I was so impressed that I…

Owner Review: Omega Seamaster Olympic Games
I like things other people usually don’t and when I saw this Omega Seamaster Olympic Games watch I was smitten. Watch brands and sport have a long historical bond, and one of the most recognisable is Omega and the Olympics. Omega seem to release countless limited editions to tie into various events or historical moments…

Owner Review: Omega Speedmaster Sapphire Sandwich
I’m a sucker for chronographs … there I said it. It kinda feels good to say it out loud. There’s just something about a mechanical chronograph that I find really appealing. To me a chronograph is a precision instrument, it is an object that is purpose built to mean business … or maybe it’s just…

Owner Review: Omega Seamaster 300m Ceramic
Not many watches, or product lines in general, have the ability to maintain relevance over the course of 25+ years. Times change, styles fade, and people get bored. But with the help of James Bond and some savvy advertising, the Omega Seamaster 300m has cemented itself in the minds of watch enthusiasts and Bond fans…

Owner Review: Omega Speedmaster Mark 40 Triple Calendar
When speaking of Omega, the Speedmaster line needs no introduction. The moonwatch gets all the spotlight but the Omega Speedmaster Mark 40 Triple Calendar 3820.53 in some people’s opinion is the ugliest design ever created by Omega. Calling the MK40 “ugly” might be a bit harsh though, it could certainly be described as colorful, bold…

Owner Review: Omega Speedmaster First Omega In Space
Let me get started by saying that the original Ed White Speedmaster (105.003) is my grail watch. I am a vintage Speedmaster purist but this watch had me converted to the modern reissue gang pretty quickly. This straight lug case and simpler dial were such big selling points. Until Omega CEO Ray Ray comes to…

Owner Review: Omega Dynamic III 5250.50
The Omega Dynamic III 5250.50 is the third and last generation of the Dynamics family. However it is anything but a facelift of the previous elliptical and angled case shaped watches with removable case rings. The design is inspired by Omega’s contribution to the “Dirty Dozen” – WWII watches commissioned by the British MoD. A…

Owner Review: Omega Planet Ocean Chronograph Sedna Gold
Omega Planet Ocean Chronograph Sedna Gold, what a beautiful and powerful word combination. Just like the watch itself. It catches the eye. It’s big. It’s robust, yet refined. It’s sporty, yet classy. And it withstands 600 metres of bone crushing water pressure. Not that I ever go anywhere near that kind of depth, I am…

Owner Review: Omega Speedmaster CK2915-3
There is little written about the Omega Speedmaster CK2915-3 transitional. Being a transitional pre-moon model, it not noticed by some but revered by true Omega fans. You see, the “-3” meaning it was the 3rd version of the CK2915 & it was released sometime between 1958-1959. After 1959, the CK2998 arrived. According to what’s available…
