Watchmakers Advice,

REAL NAME
  

I am rather opinionated when it comes to luxury watches. This comes from spending 2 years in watchmaking school, studying directly under the guidance of a certified master swiss watchmaker who came here from Europe. Watches, particularly mid to high grade swiss watches, are a passion of mine. I am not loyal to a brand or a style or anything else. I judge them for what they are, by quality, function, construction, and style. A watchmakers point of view.

This said I will tell you that this particular watch is what I think about to be a “best kept secret” sort of watch. This is an auto watch read: Mechanical NOT Quartz, and of CHRONOMETER grade function. Chronometer as used here is a measure of correct timekeeping, not quality a point frequently misunderstood and may be used typically from a marketing point of view by businesses like Rolex. HOWEVER. This motion in THIS watch is really EXCELLENT by quality, time keeping ability, and construction easily comparable to other Swiss made movements from other famous manufacturers costing many number of times as much. This watch, properly serviced, will supply a lifetime of use and most likely more. totally the sort of watch you pass down to the next generation.

All in all and EXCELLENT choice particularly for those seeking their 1st QUALITY Swiss watch purchase.

Definitely recommended!

The last sport watch you will ever have to buy.,

The last sport watch you will ever have to buy.

This review mentions the Model 2218.50, XL variant 45 mm case with steel bracelet. The opinions of the movement, modification and dependability are related to the model with rubber strap and leather lizard strap.

This is a hefty timepiece, it weighs 9+ ounces over half a pound, it feels and exudes quality and is bound to illicit a glance and a double take. The domed double anti glare sapphire crystal is super sharp and on occasion hard to learn it is there.

The outside is a mix of brushed and polished stainless steel, most notably the trademark Omega horns are this mixed finish.

The screw down crown is adorned with the Omega logo and easy to open, the 1st position enables manual winding for a power boost, the helium escape valve at 10:00 is adorned with the regular symbol “He”.

Clockwise turns of the crown in second position changes the date forward, the date can not be adjusted backwards. Time modification is easy and rapid; no modification for seconds is available.

The unidirectional bezel rotates counter clockwise 120 clicks and lines up perfectly with every second marker, the hard feel of the rotation is nothing less than you’d expect from an Omega.

The luminescent material of this watch is a glow magnet, just many seconds contact to sunlight or held close to a lamp will turn the face of this watch into a lighthouse! joint with the chrome and split bezel hands of the subdials and this timepiece may be used as a signal mirror for low flying aircraft.

The Omega 3313 motion is same to their 3303 motion except the 3313 has the co axial escapement, this is the same motion inside the Omega DeVille and will be used in future models.

The accuracy of this watch is only surpassed by my Omega SeaMaster Quartz 300 2221.80, my Quartz Omega never loses or gains a second and the PO gains less than 5 seconds a week. The days I do not wear it, I use up 60 seconds winding it and store it standing vertically for optimum movement.

The bracelet will include the scuba expansion of all SeaMasters, but has no convenience pins for fast modification or for bodily weight fluctuation. It releases easily with the double release pins and feels confidently closed when clasped.

I’ve performed testing of the power reserve, it continues to function about 43 hours with a full wind.

The watch can also function with a running chronograph for over 40 hours on a full wind, that is impressive.

Overall, I’d recommend this watch for anybody who wants an exquisite sport timepiece which is not out of place at a formal, like all of the Omegas made before it; I expect this watch to endure for my grandchildren and their grandchildren.
