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!

One of the most beautiful watches I have, Swiss made, automatic, chronometer and maybe, the most important, versatile (could be wear both at the board meeting or with sport clothing).
The style and the sport line join together perfectly and the result is an ageless timepiece.
What do you could want more?

I bought this watch five years ago. I never take it off except to shower. I've had lots of comments about my Omega. I work outside with it on as well as all other tasks. It is amazing the crystal has not been scratched. The only reason I rated this as a four star is the fact I have to reset the time weekly. The watch falls behind three minutes every week. It is past time for its cleaning which might be the problem. I hope so, I used to have to correct the time every month.

This watch is very versatile. You can wear it anywhere any time. It is heavy for it's size but light as far as mens watches go. It is extremely durable. I wear it diving, working in the yard, at the office, to dinner, where ever. It is amazing the times I have accidently dragged this watch against a brick wall on a crowded street and it still does not have a scratch on the sapphire crystal. It is a great value for a swiss timepiece.
