Omega's new Planet Ocean Seamaster finally adopts the Co-Axial escapement, not to mention a natty new colour schemeAlthough widely trailed, Omega's introduction of the Co-Axial escapement in 1999 created real waves in the watch industry. Not only was the Co-Axial the first fundamental change to the essential mechanics of timekeeping for nearly two centuries, it was also a highly risky move, since the new escapement although developed and tested by its inventor George Daniels for over two decades had never been exposed to the rigours of volume production and usage. There were more than a few who thought that the extra complexity of the escapement would prove to be a fatal flaw and there were, inevitably, teething problems.
The first watches to have the new escapement were naturally enough from the de Ville collection. Despite the Co-Axial escapement's theoretical advantages of better stability and efficiency, questions remained over the long-term viability of the idea, particularly in terms of reliability; questions which were answered in part by the continued expansion of the concept, with chronograph movements following within two years.
Diving in
This year sees the launch of the first Omega Seamaster Replica Watch carries the Co-Axial movement. Not on first sight a momentous step, the new Seamaster is significant for two reasons. The original Seamasters were launched just over 40 years ago and were Omega's premium watches at the time to the point where they were considered precision watches almost more than diving watches. Although the de Ville has now largely filled this niche for Omega, the company must still have hesitated to risk the reputation of their most iconic watch on an idea they did not entirely trust. By launching a Co-Axial Seamaster, Omega is making a statement of the faith in the technology and, no doubt, enjoying the success of a gamble that might have seriously undermined their reputation.
The calibre. 2500 Co-Axial movement also gives the Seamaster collection an extra layer of horological credibility to add to the practical virtues of the watch; a vital extra in a competitive market. Fake Omega Watches clearly wants people to consider why anyone should pay more than the £1,675 for competition that offers less in a diving watch (no prizes for guessing who Omega has in its sights here).
The Seamaster Planet Ocean will be available in May in two different case sizes (45,5 mm and 42 mm), both designed in sympathy with the original Seamaster 300 models of 1957 most notably through the combination of brushed and polished surfaces. The two have slightly different bezel designs, with finer grooves on the 42-mm model giving a more subtle finish. Omega seems to assume that this is required for the female audience being targeted by the smaller version forgetting perhaps that at this size it dwarfs the original.
Both watches' subaquatic credibility are intact, with all the usual details found on Seamasters, from unidirectional bezel to helium escape valve, and water resistance to 600m, What really marks out these watches however is the optional orange aluminium bezel, which, according to Omega, was chosen only for its exceptional visibility underwater. However, given the garish orange strap also available, one can be sure that Omega had style in mind too. The top designer inspired replica Omega watches also feature the orange bezel. You can find them and other top name replica watches for a fraction of the price at www. timetraditions.com.

In 2007 Omega watch introduced a new addition to its iconic De Ville family - the Co-Axial Chronoscope collection. The idea for the collection's creation was suggested by the success of the De Ville Rattrapante collection. The mechanical self-winding De Ville Co-Axial Chronoscope chronograph for men is driven by Omega in-house Co-Axial Escapement technology.
The new Omega replica watch model provides supreme visibility of its timekeeping functions. The Co-Axial Chronoscope features boldly masculine design, having added contemporary flair to the classic De Ville family.
The dial of the Omega watch offers the choice between matt black, red and silver shades. It catches attention due to nicely contrasting sub-dials offering perfect reading of the chronograph functions. The dial is characterized by meticulous attention to detail inherited from the Omega De Ville Rattrapante line. It sports three-dimensional light-catching hour markers and numbers.
The three big-sized overlapping sub-dials of the Omega watch are presented through a 30-minute recorder, a 12-hour counter featuring a double arc window at 6 o'clock and a continuous seconds counter. The precision chronograph readings of the De Ville Co-Axial Chronoscope are provided by the applied Arabic numerals the same as the ones found on the best replica watches.
The Omega watch's 'truncated sector' date window is aimed at supreme legibility. The date window holds a strategic position between 11 and 12 o'clock, offering at-a-glance reading. It also shows the preceding and following dates for the case when the watch's hands hide the current date numeral. The Chronoscope's luminous hour and minute hands as well as the red tip of the chronograph hand are used for utmost legibility even in bad light conditions.
The Omega De Ville Co-Axial Chronoscope is equipped with the exclusive self-winding Omega caliber 3313 watch based upon the brand's groundbreaking Co-Axial escapement technology. Omega watchmakers developed the technology able to greatly reduce friction in the escapement, thus providing enhanced reliability and accuracy. The Co-Axial escapement has become one of the major horological discoveries over the last 250 years. It was first applied in Omega De Ville family watch.
Column-wheel chronographs are appreciated as the finest movements as they incorporate the column-wheel system that guarantees a smooth start to the sweep of the seconds hand when the chronograph function is activated. The mechanism also offers precision stop and reset functions independent from the watch's major timekeeping function. Real watch connoisseurs may admire the luxury finishes of the movement through the transparent case back.
Due to its accuracy and reliability the Omega caliber 3313 watch won the prestigious COSC certification awarded by the official Swiss chronometer-testing institute. It provides the advantage of a 52-hour power reserve and 100-meter water-resistance.
The case of the new Omega De Ville Co-Axial Chronoscope watch, measuring 41 mm in diameter, is crafted in either polished or brushed 18K yellow or red gold and stainless steel. It sports the polished brand's logo on the double gasket crown. Its slightly domed scratch-resistant sapphire crystal is provided with anti-reflective treatment on both sides. The Omega replica watch is secured to the wrist with a black alligator or brown calfskin strap with a fold-over clasp.

The Seamaster GMT Omega Watch
by Edward HahnThere are plenty of good reviews of the Omega replica Seamaster GMT watches out there. Of note is CPM's review on TZ Classics #1214. Another good reference is White Rabbit's GMT Watch Manual on TZ Classics #1036.
Therefore, instead of trying to compete with these fine offerings, I am merely going to put up a bunch of scans, and point out where I think there are some outstanding features.
The packaging is well done - an orange leather covered box with a suede-finished interior makes for a very classy presentation - yet quite a bit different from the white-leather "portfolio" case that the Co-Axial DeVille came in. The watch came with a Worldwide Service booklet, an Operating Manual for the watch, an "Operating" Manual for adjusting the strap, and a Chronometer certificate.
The strap is made of rubber, and must be physically cut to fit the wearer. The overall effect is somewhat more restrained than a bracelet's flash, yet with the prominent ridges, is still aggressively sporty while being functionally useful.
While this clearly ensures an excellent fit, this could be a problem if you purchase this watch secondhand from someone with narrow wrists - Ray Purkis, for instance :-). This image shows how the two strap ends are held in the clasp - using the two oversized "spring bar" ends.
The ends fit into tracks on the double-folding clasp like so:
Note that the tracks allow for the overall strap length to be adjusted to fit over a wetsuit. Unlike a folding extension, they can also be used to expand the length by a small increment to allow for additional comfort if one's wrist is pumped up from exercise, for instance.
The case is typical Omega - that is to say, excellently finished: even on an Omega replica watch.
The transition between the brushed and polished surfaces are perfect, and the overall effect of sweeping polished part nicely offsets the brushed surface. While the overall effect is on the flashy side (it is a sports watch, after all), this is a nice level of refinement noticeable only on second glance.
The caseback has a nice engraving of the "Seamonster", with the added "50 Years" inscription. This inscription pays tribute to the original Seamaster, released in 1948, and is thus far restricted only to the GMT's back.
Functionally, the Seamaster GMT has implemented the GMT function following the lead of Rolex and Blancpain - by keeping the 24-hour hand constant. The twelve-hour hand quicksets both forward and backwards, and can be used to adjust the date in both directions as well. Even on the Omega Replica Watches.
The tactile feel of the quick set is of a very solid mechanism, somewhat more so than the Rolex (which I cross-shopped with this watch). Strangely enough, Omega does this by eschewing it's sister company's ETA 2893 movement (which quick sets the 24-hour hand), and uses an Omega-designed quick set cadrature instead. You can find the movement on the best replica watches that are designer inspired.
As a whole, I think the Seamaster GMT is an excellent value in the sports watch market, with an outstanding combination of price, styling, and functionality.

Omega Watch and James Bond have had a long and mutually profitable relationship. It used to be a Rolex Submariner watch that Q modified with non-standard complications and handed over to Sean Connery to get him out of tight situations, however starting with Pierce Brosnan in Golden Eye the Omega Seamaster watch became the choice of British spies and they have some of the best replica watches found on the web today. Omega watch seized the opportunity to not only make James Bond a brand ambassador, but they also created the special James Bond Omega Seamaster watch.
Now that there's a new Bond, Omega has taken the opportunity to outfit him with a new tool: the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean watch. I've written about the Planet Ocean and handled several under the watchful eyes of jewelry store clerks, and they are truly majestic watches -- very fitting of Bond, and an excellent choice for a fresh beginning of the Bond franchise.
What I find interesting, however, is that to my knowledge, Rolex watch never made a limited edition commemorative James Bond Submariner while Omega has released a couple Bond Seamasters watches . I'm guessing the idea of soldering a "007" to the end of a Submariner second hand watch, or adulterating the dial with some Hollywood inspired action graphic made the folks at Rolex watch swoon. Frankly, I'd have to be a pretty big James Bond fan to drop that kind of money on a movie souvenir, but I suppose if you're a collector, there's nothing like the phrase "limited edition" to get you on the phone with your favorite authorized dealer or you can find the same designer inspired Omega replica watches on the web today.
