History Of Omega Mens Seamaster

Omega mens seamaster watches, based in Switzerland and owned by The Swatch Group, is one of the most widely recognized brands of luxurious watches in the world. Since 1995 Omega has been the official watch brand worn by James Bond (both Bonds played by actors Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig). The Omega Speedmaster was the first watch on the moon, worn by NASA astronaut Buzz Aldrin. Omega is also often the official timekeeper of the Olympics (2006 Winter, 2008 Summer and 2010 Winter). Gold medalist Michael Phelps wears and Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean. Other famous Omega watch wearers are US President John F. Kennedy, actors George Clooney, Nicole Kidman and Cindy Crawford, and famous tennis player Anna Kournikova.

But Omega is more than a fashionable timepiece. The Omega Speedmaster chronograph was “flight-qualified by NASA in 1965 for all manned space missions” as the only wristwatch to have passed the U.S. space agency’s extreme tests, including extreme shocks, vibrations, and temperatures ranging from -18 to +93 degrees Celsius. On 20 July 1969 at 02:56 GMT, the Omega Speedmaster recorded man’s first steps on the Moon’s surface as part of the Apollo 11 mission. Omega watches have been to space on many missions since then, including treks to Skylab and the Apollo-Soyuz link-up in 1975.

More recently in 1994, Omega designed the first self-winding wristwatch with central tourbillon, and in 1999 Omega made history with the first mass-produced watch using co-axial escapement, developed in with famous master watchmaker George Daniels. The escapement is the heart of a mechanical watch, generating the impulses that make the mechanism move. Omega’s Co-Axial Escapement reduces friction among the parts, producing greater stability and precision and reducing service requirements.

Why Buy The Omega Mens Seamaster Online?

Some of the world’s largest watch retailers are online.  They have buying power that few other offline retailers have because they buy and sell in large volumes.  When it comes to price, you will be hard pressed to find a better price than online.

Omega authorized watch retailers are not allowed to sell their Omega watches online – and they are NOT allowed to offer discounted prices.  Omega watches sold from authorized retailers must be sold at the full retail price.  Omega watches online at such sites as Amazon or JomaShop are sold at discounted prices because these watches are not sold from officially authorized Omega retailers.

There are many “fake” Omega merchants and many less than trustworthy retailers online (as well as offline).  However you can trust some online retailers such as Amazon or JomaShop to look out for your best interests as a consumer because their reputation is on the line.  When you buy an Omega watch online make sure it is from a reputable retailer such as Amazon, Bacario or JomaShop and not some other merchant!

Omega watches purchased online from a reputable company should be covered by a two-year or three-year warranty with no additional cost.  Other online watch retailers may offer lesser warranties – pay attention to this important detail!  After the warranty is expired, you will need to take your Omega watch to a jeweler for repairs, cleaning and calibration.  Your best option is to find a local Omega authorized watch retailer.
