Omega at Baselworld 2013 presented by Marcus Hanke Thrilling news without a completely new movement? Of course, for Omega this is possible. This year, there are many novelties that will immediately find avid fans, even if they are “only” new shapes, dials...  

The Blue Speed is not bad looking at all! Other than that, well, the 2013 collection will not be a dangerous year for my wallet... Best, Nicolas

Marcus, Thank you very much, for this great report. My 2cs: The 15000 Gauss is very interesting, when we consider that we are full of magnetic devices but it could be much better if they change this ugly seconds hand painting. The day-date ... where we al...

Thank you for your response. I must learn to read more carefully. I couldn't find the bamboo part on Omega's web site. Perhaps it is in the printed version to which I have no access. The box is very nice indeed. Here's more bamboo from a trip I made last ...  

I am only talking for myself.....first, I was not aware that we are living in an environment (due to our new tools) with so much more magnetism! (you see Marcus, I am living under a rock!) and the the more I see and read about Omega and Omega's history, t... 

Thanks Marcus for the summary. I was quite taken by this new watch for all the reasons you gave plus the convenience of the conjoint minutes and seconds counter for the chronograph. I have not looked at Omega since 2002. Regards, MTF ...  

I like the Ladymatic a lot with the new 'chive cuts' bracelet, but what I really would like to see is a picture of the Seamaster AquaTerra 15,000 Gauss' display back. Do you happen to have one? I think this is a most significant watch! Thanks, Magnus

... it is very difficult to photograph with a steel bracelet, since the links are obstructing the view. At first sight, though, it looks like the standard movement. Regards, Marcus

HI I took this photo of the screen at the NYC Press event on the AT ..... [URL=] [/URL] Hope this helps a little.. Best Bill Sohne ...
