Omega Double Eagle Watches

Speaking on the occasion, Mr G Kannan, Country Manager Swatch Group India said, "The popularity of Omega has grown manifold during the last couple of years. It was only imperative that we honour our patrons with something more. We are grateful to our global brand ambassador Pierce Brosnan to take out time and travel to India to launch the Constellation Double Eagle."Unveiling the watch, Omega Brand Ambassadress Sonali Bendre Behl said, "It is indeed a pleasure to share the same platform with the Hollywood heartthrob Pierce Brosnan and to unveil one of the most sought after chronographs. A perfect fit for those looking for a classic watch but with a subtle sporting edge to it."Later in the evening, Omega ambassador Brosnan congratulated the International Indian Film Academy for its success in promoting Indian cinema across the globe. He presented Indian superstar Amitabh Bachchan with a cheque for Rs. 25 lakhs for the IIFA charity Foundation, which looks after the needs of film industry workers.The newly launched Omega Constellation Double Eagle promises to be a much sought-after timepiece. Equipped with the Omega calibre 3313 movement, it is a chronograph connoisseur's delight. The watch has an intricate rhodium-plated finish of circular graining, Geneva wave decor and gold-plated engravings, with a blue-steel screw as the centrepiece of this mechanical and aesthetic marvel. Few such chronographs are available on the market today, since only a handful of prestige watchmakers are capable of producing this highly sophisticated mechanism. Furthermore, the Constellation Double Eagle has a discreet sporty touch to their chronometer counterparts. Another attractive feature of this watch is its revolutionary Co-Axial Escapement, which reduces friction in the movement and offers better long-term accuracy; it also has a column-wheel chronograph mechanism. The column-wheel chronograph ensures precision operation of the chronograph functions, with a vertical coupling ensuring zero delay in the start, stop and reset functions. Priced at Rs 142,000 onwards, the Omega Constellation Double Eagle range is available in a polished lacquered white dial or a matt black dial, both of which have facetted rhodium-plated hour markers and facetted, rhodium plated and truncated Dauphine hands. The high quality of the watch is reflected in the attention to detail that includes an applied Omega symbol and rhodium-plated rings surrounding the chronograph counters. A date window at 6 o'clock completes the high-end Omega chronograph look, which is protected by a domed, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on both sides.Omega has been present in India since 1998 and has been rapidly expanding its distribution base in the country. At present, the company retails its exclusive watches in over 38 outlets across the country.

OMEGA's international ambassadors are a cornerstone in the brand's promotional activities, appearing in advertisements, adding a special touch to events and reinforcing OMEGA's involvement in sports. As a manufacturer of prestige timepieces with over 150 years of tradition behind it, OMEGA attaches great importance to long-term relationships with such spokespersons for the brand. Well-known international celebrities such as Cindy Crawford, Pierce Brosnan, and Michael Schumacher have all been partners of OMEGA since the mid-1990s and are quite naturally regarded as part of the family.The young Sergio Garcia is the perfect addition to OMEGA's family of golfing ambassadors, which comprises South Africa's Ernie Els, China's Zhang Lian-Wei and the Danish lady golfer Iben Tinning. This strong on-course presence is complemented by the title sponsorship of the OMEGA European Masters and the OMEGA Hong Kong Open, as well as OMEGA's official timekeeping of the US PGA Tour, the Senior Tour and several other events on the European Tour.Having turned professional in 1999, Sergio Garcia went on to win the Murphy's Irish Open and the Linde German Masters in the same year, also coming second to Tiger Woods in the US PGA Championship at Medina and helping Spain to win the Alfred Dunhill Cup. In 2001, Garcia won the MasterCard Colonial and the Buick Classic in the USA. It was thanks to these victories that Sam Torrance picked Garcia as one of the wild cards for the 34th Ryder Cup matches.Speaking at a press conference to announce the new partnership, OMEGA President Stephen Urquhart commented "Sergio Garcia is representative of the many young golfers currently taking up this unique sport. Although he is already world famous, he has his whole golfing future ahead of him."For his part, Sergio Garcia explained the reasons for his choice of OMEGA:"OMEGA has done a great job of securing some the world's best players for the OMEGA European Masters. I am very happy to be associated with OMEGA. Not only because the brand is very involved in golf at all levels, but also because the brand has both a fantastic history and a very dynamic and forward-looking image. I am certain that this will be a tremendous relationship for both of us".
