I bought this watch for my husband and it is just wonderful.

It is sleek and beautiful. So many men's watches are huge and clunky with too many dials or fancy doo-dads.

This one is classic elegance, and very versital - Great to wear to the office or just bumming about :).

I have a much earlier version of this watch -- about 25 years earlier. So why am I writing this review? Simply put, when someone creates a truly classic, high quality design, it is timeless. After 25 years, this watch has never failed. The case and bracelet have their little scratches -- I just call that "patina." Otherwise it looks good as new. Call this a "long-term ownership" review.

I do not know if the features of my watch are the same as the newer one, but here are my Pros and Cons:

PROS:

1. Timeless design as indicated above.
2. Reliability.
3. The hour hand can be adjusted without disturbing the minute and second hands -- useful for traveling
and DST changes. (This is done via a three position stem.)
4. As I recall, the time accuracy spec for my watch is +/- 10 seconds per year. Mine normally holds 7-10
seconds for the life of its battery which is about 2.5 years.
5. It is thin enough to not interfere with cuffs on long sleeve shirts.

CONS:

1. None.

By the way, it is satisfying to see that the watch which listed at $600 when I bought it now lists for around $1700.

I would recommend this watch to anyone looking for one in this price range.

I bought my watch of this type 10 years ago. I have very thin wrists, and the mid-size is just right. Keeps great time, looks good with suits (10 years ago) and sports jackets/slacks in office today. Several new batteries over the years, but no other maintenance. It was a good investment 10 years ago, and I'd paid about $1000 for it then.

This Omega is classy but not flashy. It's elegant but understated. It fits well on a man who is not big or tall.

This is one of the best products i've ever owned, including cars, appliances and everything else i've bought. It is very close to being a perfect timekeeper. I check it against "Exact Time" on the 'net every so often and i am always pleased to see that it is very close. It looks great and after 15 years, no problems at all. Replace the battery about every 5 yrs and get the scraches polished out by a professional occasionally and you are good to go.
