Sports Timekeeping: OMEGA Olympic Collection | Watch-Replica.net ...

by ReplicaExpert

The OMEGA Olympic Collection comprises six watches, reproducing the design of the timepieces which the Biel-based watchmaking company has created for the Olympic Games between 1932 and 1960. The dials of all watches from the collection have a few common features: the time is indicated by Arabic numerals, and the name and logo of the brand are painted in red above the hands center. The seconds hand of the timepieces also points out that they belong to the OMEGA Olympic Collection: the five overlapping Olympic rings appear on its counterweight. The case back of the watches is stamped with the “Official Timekeeper” inscription, reminiscent of the OMEGA status with the Olympic Games.

Omega - Mondayblur

by admin

Omega is a high-end watch company based in Biel/Bienne Switzerland. Omega is currently owned by the Swatch Group.

The forerunner of Omega was founded at La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland in 1848 by 23-year-old Louis Brandt, who assembled key-wound precision pocket watches from parts supplied by local craftsmen. He sold his watches from Italy to Scandinavia by way of England, his chief market. After Louis Brandt’s death in 1879, his two sons Louis-Paul and César, troubled by irregular deliveries of questionable quality, abandoned the unsatisfactory assembly workshop system in favour of in-house manufacturing and total production control.

Under Brandt’s leadership and Joseph Reiser’s from 1955, the SSIH Group continued to grow and multiply, absorbing or creating some fifty companies, including Lemania, manufacturers of the most famous Omega chronograph movements.. By the seventies, SSIH had become Switzerland’s number one producer of finished watches and number three in the world.

First watch on the moon The Omega Speedmaster Professional Chronograph was the first watch on the Moon, worn by “Buzz” Aldrin. This watch is now believed lost. Aldrin mentions in his book Return to Earth that when donating several items to the Smithsonian Institution, his Omega was one of the few things that was stolen from his personal effects.[8]

James Bond

Omega has been associated with James Bond movies since 1995. That year, Pierce Brosnan took over the role of James Bond and began wearing the Omega Seamaster Quartz Professional (model 2541.80.00) in the movie GoldenEye. In all later films, Brosnan wore an Omega Seamaster Professional Chronometer (model 2531.80.00). The producers wanted to update the image of the fictional “super-spy” to a more distinctly sophisticated “Euro” look.[10]

Another possible reason for the change from the Rolex Submariner that Bond had previously worn was a change in the business environment surrounding modern high-profile films and product placement. Omega was eager to participate in high profile co-promotions/product placement opportunities, especially the James Bond franchise, to further its brand image/awareness. It accomplished this by supplying products and finance (something that the conservative Rolex company avoids, presumably because it sees no benefit for itself).[11]

The Fantastic Seamaster 007 Limited Edition

by WatchMaster

Omega Seamaster Professional lineup is fantastically popular not only due to high quality watches. As well this lineup got great fame due to the fact that in the last four movies in the James Bond saga Omega Seamaster Professionals were worn by Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig. Thousands of people from all over the world come to watch shops with only one question – “Do you have the watch like James Bond wears”? Everyone understands that the world known brand Omega is gladly milking its status as “the choice of James Bond”. Baselworld 2008 was not an exception. Omega presented its new Seamaster 007 Limited Edition.

The new Seamaster 007 Professional is a bit different from those worn in the movies. Those had blue dials and bezels, while this one features a black dial and bezel. The reason for such a change is evident – the brand had already issued 2 007 limited edition Seamasters that featured blue bezels and dials.

Beginning with 1995 Omega has been associated with James Bond saga. In that year Pierce Brosnan became the new James Bond and wore Omega Seamaster Quartz professional in “Golden Eye”. In 2002, when Die Another Day came out, Omega released a special 007 edition of the lineup Omega Speedmaster Professional. In this film Pierce Brosnan wore the well known Omega Seamaster Professional, of course, with additional features, special for secret agent. In 2006 in conjunction of the new Casino Royal the brand released a limited 007 edition of the Omega Speedmaster Professional with 007 logo on the second hand. Casino Royal was the 21th film in James Bond saga. In this film the new James Bond appeared – Daniel Craig, the new malefactor and new “James Bond’s” girlfriend. The only thing that remained the same was the watch brand that is preferred by mister Bond – this again was Omega. That time James Bond wore Omega Seamaster 300 M Diver Chronometer. Each of the limited edition wristwatches has been produced in 10.007 pieces.
