Hour Vision
I was in San Francisco recently and went to check out the Hour Vision at the watch-store on Market. Disappointed to find none. I was in Singapore 4 days ago and went to the two well-known stores on Orchid Road. Again that I had to explain about the watch in such details! Seems to me Omega has done a great job in launching the watch through the media, so much has been written about this Hour Vision which has appeared in so many magazines, but it is not the case at the retail level. Would love to get hold of one. Perhaps I am being anxious that the watch is simply not here at all. Comments, please.

The frustration at the retailers is also typical ...
Normally, retailers are the last to be informed about new models, which results in the embarassing situation, that they are completely clueless when people ask them about the details of the novelties. Regards, Marcus
I've little sympathy in this case.
The Hour Vision with its in-house caliber was widely announced months ago. Any retailer ought to at least glance at the web page every few months. It's perfectly acceptable to not have a delivery date as they have little control over when Omega decides to...
I feel much better now......
Thanks for your inputs - I feel much better now that I know more of the model than the sales staff who are absolutely clueless of the Hour Vision. This is very different to the car salesmen who know and can talk about the new models before they are delive...
Omega DeVille Hour Vision
I took delivery of an Omega DeVille Hour Vision watch today. 18k Rose Gold and sapphire case, dark brown Alligator band. I love it! It's a work of art, both aesthetically and horologically.
