That link does lead to an interesting write-up of an astonishing set of timepieces. However, be warned that it contains the word "Spacenerdgasm" which I'm not sure my eyes or brain ever needed to encounter.  Steve IP: Logged |

According to Omega's president Stephen Urquhart, in a recent interview: Omega is one of the pioneers in the field of watch technology. For example, the Omega X-33 has been certified by NASA [U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration] for space flights. We're planning to upgrade the X-33 next year and for future space programs. I agree that today every mobile phone and every computer you buy displays time precisely. But we feel our strength is in mechanical watches. So we'll continue to bring something extra to mechanical watches -- history and lasting value. IP: Logged |
