Omega 2010 NYC Preview Part I

 

Hello Everyone….

 

I want to share with you my visit to the NYC Omega Boutique last week to see a preview of some of the new release for 2010.

 

First and foremost I want to thank everyone at the Boutique that evening.  

 

Before we get into the new watches…  I was able to pop my head into the realm of the watchmakers.  What I find to be very refreshing is a group of young and eager watchmakers ready to work on ANY Omega modern or vintage.  I saw both being worked on at these benches…

 

 

 

 

I then met with Mr. Laevens the Boutique manager.  We spent the better part of two hours looking and chatting about the past, present and future of Omega watches.   But lets get back to the watches at hand…

 

First up… New  Speedmaster Automatics.

 

 

Men’s

 

 

 

I really like the dial on this example… The raised numbers… and the detail of the sub dial honeycomb  ( a tip of the hat to  Michael Schumacher and the racing grills of a sports car! )

 

 

 

Next the Speedy of my dreams …. A limited edition… unique meteorite dial !

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wanted to keep this one !!

 

 

 

 

Then I saw the back … stunning caseback!!!    I wish my pictures were better…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Women’s Speedmasters

 

 

The anthracite is killer….

 

 

 

 

One watch that Omega release was the white dialed 1200m Seamaster.  I did not think much of it when it was announced.  When I first saw it  I did not like it one bit.  But then while looking at the other watches my eyes kept looking back at it.  For the life of me I do not know why.  So I went with my gut and asked to try it on and to play with it.  Well after about 1 min I totally changed my mind.

 

I would change to white strap to another  color or the mesh band.  But the dial is really cool , the entire bezel glows and  is incased in sapphire .  Truly stunning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I just realized that I am missing about half of the photos that I had taken so I will post the rest of this photo trip later ( sooner rather then later !_).

 

 

Good Hunting
