Owner Review: Omega Speedmaster Racing Co-axial

I was always captivated by Omega as a brand, and the Speedy going to the moon. The Moonwatch professional is a little too big for my small wrist and to be honest, as much as I like the watch, personally I appreciate an automatic movement on for daily use. So as I was choosing the…

Owner Review: Omega Seamaster Railmaster

As a kid my teachers asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wanted to be a train driver. They taught me train drivers are called engineers. With my latest promotion there could only be one watch to join my growing collection. A watch that is described as the forgotten brother…

Owner Review: Omega Speedmaster Mark 4.5

There I was 3 years ago, happy with my Moonwatch but really wanting another Speedmaster. Preferably something a bit more vintage and if at all possible without the hefty price tag that usually goes along with that. Know the feeling?

Owner Review: Omega Seamaster 300M ‘Great White’ GMT 2538.20.00

Like a lot of other men my age, I was introduced to watches by Pierce Brosnan and the Goldeneye Bond movie. The thought of having a laser beam on our wrists and travelling the world to exotic locations with beautiful women left a permanent mark. Of course back in the real world, the Omega Seamaster…
