Omega Yellow Watches

Omega Aqua Terra Jewellery Co-Axial Ladies Watch in Rose GoldReleased yearly this year, the Omega Aqua Terra Jewellery Co-Axial ladies watch is available in a great number of choices. However, the most imposing of them all is the one in a 38 mm rose gold case and on bracelet crafted of the same noble metal.The Omega Aqua Terra Jewellery Co-Axial is powered by the relatively new Omega caliber 8501 automatic movement that was officially revealed in January, 2007.The caliber is built solely in-house and features Omega’s proprietary co-axial escapement technology, which makes the watch more durable compared to those sporting traditional lever escapement.Comprising 202 components, the movement sports a two-barrel design that ensures as long as 60 hours of continuous operation.All Omega 8501 calibers are meticulously decorated and are equipped with 18-carat rose gold winding rotors and balance bridges. This is a nice touch, since in this particular watch the tiny engine is perfectly visible through the polished screw-in sapphire crystal case-back.The 38.5 mm Aqua Terra case comes equipped with a rose gold bezel set with 52 full-cut diamonds.The theme of precious stones is further supported with eleven more single-cut diamonds that mark the hours.Although the hour indexes lack any lume whatsoever, there is a certain amount of Superluminova covering the hour and minute hands, which makes the watch usable in total darkness.What I really like about Omega, is that they are always serious about how their hands look. This particular model features facetted 18 Ct gold hands with diamond-polished sides and brushed tops that the Aqua Terra line is famous for.The watch is sold either on a black alligator leather strap with a foldover clasp, or a brushed 18 Ct gold bracelet with Omega’s patented screw-and-pin system and a safety clasp, which seems to be more appropriate for this gorgeous timekeeping accessory.

When Pierce Brosnan assumed the role of James Bond for the film GoldenEye, the producers struck a deal with OMEGA to provide and promote the OMEGA Seamaster as the watch of James Bond. Gone was the Rolex Submariner, and with it the conservative use of Bond's watch in the movies. Brosnan's Seamaster was the 2220.80.00 model series, with the OMEGA 2500 self-winding chronometer movement, a rhodium-plated finish for a dash of flash and sophistication, a blue dial under the dome's anti-reflective sapphire crystal, and a depth rating of 1,000 feet. Previous Bond watches had similar professional dive characteristics, but Brosnan's would also be heavily featured in his Bond films, with Q frequently handing him a new one at the start of a new mission. 78 Uniqueness In GoldenEye, Brosnan's Seamaster housed a laser that allowed him to cut through the bottom of train to escape being blown up by a former MI6 agent turned Russian mob boss. In Brosnan's third Bond outing, The World Is Not Enough, the Seamaster contained a mini grappling hook and wire, which he used to escape the detonation of an underground atomic device. (One must adhere to the Bond story arc, after all.) Brosnan himself became the face of OMEGA as his tenure continued, and many new fans don't even realize that, over the years, Bond wore a Rolex, a Breitling and a Seiko before he strapped on an OMEGA. Read more 95 Durability The standard-issue OMEGA Seamaster watch, unfortunately, does not come with a laser or a grappling hook, but neither does it need them. Having owned and worn a Seamaster, we can attest to the durable strength of this professional-grade dive watch. What many do not realize is just how heavy this watch feels on your wrist. You will know it's there, and the fold-over locking closure keeps it there. As for style, the bracelet on this 300M diver model has become known as the "Bond" bracelet because many of the various models in the Seamaster line come only with a plain, stainless steel link band. While it will forever be known as the Bond watch -- and OMEGA has been eager to capitalize on its association with 007 to the point of issuing special edition models with the classic Bond gun-barrel logo on the face instead of the Seamaster wave design -- this is still an OMEGA, and it is still one of the finest watches made today.
