Omega and Swatch have both been teasing a super-secret project for a little under a week now, taking out full page ads in The New York Times with taglines reading “It’s time to change your Swatch,” or “It’s time to change your Omega.” Nobody knew what that meant, until yesterday. The super secret is out, … Read more

The Watches and Wonders trade show is nigh. But before I fly across the Atlantic to Geneva, Switzerland, I need to address the big green diver in the room. Last week, Omega held its own private event called Omega Days where it unveiled its 2022 novelties. You saw a lot of them here on HODINKEE, … Read more

Relocated to a stunning new building in 2019, the OMEGA Museum tells the compelling story of the Swiss brand through immersive movies, compelling showcases and fun interactive experiences. The journey to the heart of OMEGA includes a 360° history of time, a giant walk-in Speedmaster, and a magical animation revealing the inner-workings of the famous Co-Axial Escapement. … Read more

Yesterday, Omega announced a wave of new models in Miami, including the new Ultra Deep, two new color-packed Aqua Terra ranges, and a brand new generation of the Speedmaster ’57.

Well, now you can get your … Read more

Luxury watches are taking a page from early ‘90s fashion watches this year by embracing color, perhaps to celebrate the end of the pandemic. Omega is leading the charge with three new multi-hued models in its Constellation collection. The 2022 Constellation collection is organized in three sizes, each with its own color scheme.

You remember that Omega used to make a watch called the Seamaster 150, and we all thought it was their James Bond diver? Well, the ‘Bond’ Seamaster is actually called the Omega Seamaster Diver 150m; the OG Seamaster 300 was a handsome diving watch that got overshadowed by its bigger and meatier Seamaster brethren.

Deciding to buy the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra wasn’t exactly a no-brainer (my favorite kind of brainer). Here’s why I bought this timepiece and how I feel about it after a year. Before we take a look at the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra in further detail, though, I would like to introduce you to the field of semiotics. I … Read more

Almost ten years after Omega introduced the Omega Co-Axial Speedmaster ’57, the brand comes back with an updated, slimmed-down model. The outgoing one had an automatic movement. This update, however, features a hand-wound caliber. In addition to the updated matte black sandwich dial with faux-patina details, the watch is now available in three additional colors.
