To celebrate the 2008 Beijing Olympic games, Omega specially created a gold limited chronograph watch featuring five Olympic rings style and a new type of movement modification in that year. And the style was so well-received that Omega decided to make it big. Just few days ago, Omega announced the launch of the Omega De Ville 4-Counters Co-Axial Chronograph watch that aimed to grab the market earlier 2010. And now this brand proudly releases the Omega Timeless Olympic Speedmaster 5-Counter Watch which, as the name suggests, is a sexy combo of Speedmaster design features and the timeless Olympic games touch. And this new Omega watch houses the same movement as the De Ville model mentioned above.
To my knowledge, there are at least two more Seamaster and Speedmaster based watches are activated by the same movement. What is more, they are members of the new Timeless Olympic collection that has strong Olympic design cues. And as far as I know, these timepieces are all limited editions. Anyway, I am thrilled that the adorable movement can power more nice watches.
This Omega Timeless Olympic Speedmaster 5-Counter watch becomes my favorite. It is the best with simple style yet elegant look. Omega gives it the new Speedmaster case and the merits of some classic models. The dial is quite clean with few text, and looks quite retro with vintage Red Omega logo and old-fashioned Arabic numerals. And the match of arrow hour hand and dagger minute hand is classic and tasteful. The bezel with tachymetre scale is faithful to the Speedmaster style.
The watch is likely to be 42mm wide and done in stainless steel. And the case back will most likely bears the Olympics themed engraving. Beating inside the watch is the Omega Caliber 3888 Co-Axial automatic movement that provides both chronograph functions and calendar. And the watch is expected to hit stores early 2010 with a price tag around 5,380 euros.
