Excellent watch which uses the Automatic Chronometer Caliber: Omega 1120 movement --- a choronometer for accurate timekeeping. This can handle practically any water-activity being rated for 330meters/1000 feet. This handsome dive watch is also A-Okay to wear in the office or for evening affairs. It has a domed scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. It is also lighter than typical, with bracelet and case - 41.5mm width, 12mm thickness -- of titanium. The classic design and quality means that it will be appreciated by the next generation.

I own many fine watches in SS, SS & Gold, and all Gold, but none made of Titanium. I love the look of the watch and the weight! Very comfortable on the wrist. The Omega 1120 Automatic Movement keeps very good time with a 44 hour reserve. The Luminous hands and markers will light up a room they are so bright!

In short - this is a keeper!

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!
