Recently, I have got the chance and honour to have a hands-on session for the BaselWorld 2014 pieces (special thanks to Peter Chong and Fiona Lim for the arrangement). Hope you guys will enjoy the pieces that I have uploaded.
The Seamaster 300, in Stainless Steel and Sedna Gold
The Seamaster Chrono GMT
The Speedmaster Apollo 11 45th Anniversary Edition
The Speedmaster Mark II
The DeVille Tresor
The Entire Collection!
The Full Gold Seamaster Aqua Terra, featuring the latest Master Co-Axial Movement
Overall, I like the Seamaster 300 and the Apollo 11 45th Anniversary Speedmaster the most.
For the Seamaster 300, I like it as it is the remake of the original version (which is really difficult to come by). It is like an updated version of the original one too; in short, the classic Seamaster 300 with the latest technology. A really cool and exciting piece indeed.
As for the Speedmaster Apollo 11 45th Anniversary Edition, the dial is a very unique one indeed. The sub-dials, minute markers, and the details on the dial (e.g. the brand and model) of the watch are produced using a special laser engraving method that removes the material surrounding these features. A very unorthodox move indeed, which makes it all the more even special. My only disappointment is that it comes with the NATO strap....
The others did not disappoint too. I quite like the Mark II too, but the date indicator sort of disrupted the design of the dial. And also, I would prefer the Speedy to have a manual movement. I always have this thought that a Speedy must be hand-wounded, somehow. The Tresor is a really nice piece as well, with its beautiful honeycomb dial. But that may be less versatile, as compared to the Speedy and the Seamaster 300. Overall, I am pleased with this year's addition (since I like older Omega pieces, and the remakes are pretty awesome).
P.S. Apologies for not being able to rotate the picture... let me see how I can sort this out...
