<title>New Omega watches introduced the world to model</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[ In 1948, Omega introduced the world to their Seamaster watch. Omega’s commercial director of that time, Adolphe Vallat requested a watch that was water resistant with an automatic movement. Omega’s designer René Bannwart had a sketch on the shelf that was originally intended to be a new Centenary model (the predecessor of the Constellation) that he found to be too bulky to be an elegant dress <strong><a href="http://www.housesinsa.com/replica-omega-seamaster.html">replica omega</a></strong> watch. Adolphe Vallat happened to find it a perfect match for his request.<br><br>So, there it was, the very first Omega Seamaster. 34mm in diameter, a bumper movement and with these superb looking beefy lugs. These very first Seamaster watches (as pictured below) were available with either center seconds or a small sub dial for the second hand. The automatic movements used in these watches were the so-called ‘bumper’ movements due to the rotor that didn’t make a full swing but instead ‘bumped’ back and forth over a smaller angle.<br><br>Left is a CK2518 Seamaster with Chronometer movement caliber 343, right is a CK2577 with a caliber 350 movement. Photo by Omega Press.<br><br>Omega has used the Seamaster to celebrate the Olympic games before and the most famous model is probably the Seamaster XVI and Seamaster Cross of Merit in 1956. These models were especially manufactured for the 16th Olympic games in Melbourne in 1956 and to celebrate the official sponsoring by Omega for the 25th time in a row. Both of these watches are highly sought-after these days, especially the model with the Cross of Merit on the dial and on the leather box it came in.<br><br>Of course, Omega was also the official time keeper of the Olympic games in 1948 in London. For both London (summer games) and St. Moritz (winter games), Omega used a split-second chronograph pocket watch in a protection case. Next year, 2012, the Olympic games are being held in London again, and Omega celebrates it with a limited edition (restricted to 1948 pieces) Seamaster watch. This time however, it is not a fancy version of an already existing model, but an entirely new designed watch with the DNA of those very first Seamasters in 1948. Bulky lugs, a clear dial and dauphine <strong><a href="http://www.housesinsa.com/replica-hublot-big-bang.html">replica hublot</a></strong> hands. Above, you see a picture that i took during my production presentation meeting with Omega in Basel. The sub dial seconds, dauphine hands, arrow shaped hour markers, original shape Omega logo at 12 o’clock and the wording below could be misleading you that it is a vintage Omega Seamaster in New Old Stock condition. The size of 38mm in diameter, the side of the case and the Co-Axial wording on the dial give away the fact that this is a brand new watch by Omega.<br><br>The back of the watch has a gold Olympic games logo embossed in the case and carries the unique number of the watch (of 1948 pieces). As you perhaps can see on this picture, the crown of the watch looks very similar to the <strong><a href="http://www.housesinsa.com/replica-panerai-luminor.html">http://www.housesinsa.com/replica-panerai-luminor.html</a></strong> original ones used in 1948 (and continued to do so till at least somewhere in the 1950s).<br><br>This Seamaster 1948 Olympic is water resistant to 120 meters (400ft), features Omega’s co-axial caliber 2202 movement and is 38mm in diamater. It comes in a white leather box with red and blue accents. List price of the Omega Seamaster Olympic 1948 Automatic Co-Axial will be low price.

<title>Although prices have been increased for Omegas</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[ Last week, I attended the Omega event on Capri, a small island near the city of Naples in Italy. Omega invited me, and a number of other journalists, over to this beautiful island to join their Seamaster Planet Ocean introduction and announcement of a special collaboration.<br><br>To start with the latter, Omega and environmentalist/filmmaker Yann Arthus-Bertrand are collaborating on creating a film about the Earth’s oceans. Yann Arthus-Bertrand, famous for his movie HOME <strong><a href="http://www.housesinsa.com/replica-omega-planet-ocean.html">http://www.housesinsa.com/replica-omega-planet-ocean.html</a></strong>, showed up together with this other famous Omega ambassador, Buzz Aldrin, to announce their plans on this joint venture.<br><br>Besides this introduction, Omega took us on a boat and sailed away to the beautiful coast of Capri with their famous grottos. During this trip, we got to see the new Planet Ocean presented to us by a very special sea creature. Not much later, we went on shore and had the possibility to ask questions to Stephen Urquhart (CEO) and Jean Claude Monachon (Head of development) of Omega SA.<br><br>The full report on this trip can be found on the Omega forum over at Watchuseek, containing approximately 100 pictures of this event in Capri.<br><br>Personally, I love the new line up of Seamaster Planet Ocean watches. The LiquidMetal technology is very impressive and although not industrialized yet, it can be expected that Omega will use this for a number of their watches. Until that time, only the blue version of the Planet Ocean (both chronograph and non-chronograph) are equipped with a LM bezel. Furthermore, the new co-axial chrongraph caliber 9300/9310 movements by Omega are a blast. Developed and manufactured after Hayek requested Omega to do so in 2005. Few years and 100 million Swiss Francs later, Omega is capable of producing a fine in-house chronograph caliber <strong><a href="http://www.housesinsa.com/replica-breitling-navitimer.html">http://www.housesinsa.com/replica-breitling-navitimer.html</a></strong> for their 45. 5mm Seamaster Planet Ocean and Speedmaster Co-Axial Chronograph.<br><br>Before I had the interviews with Omega’s CEO and head of development, I asked the people over at the Omega forum at Watchuseek to write down some questions they would like to see answered. They did (in big numbers) and I hope I covered most of them in the article I wrote for Watchuseek.<br><br>Although the prices have been increased for Omega watches, I think they are justified by far. Omega is playing in another league now, having upgraded their bracelets (using screws instead of pins), upgraded their <strong><a href="http://www.housesinsa.com/replica-bell-ross-watches.html">bell&amp;ross replica</a></strong> movements (to in-house movements 850x, 930x and 852x) and using materials like ceramics and LiquidMetal.
