Christian what IS on your wrist?? “Gold watch” not specific enough.
I think you guys really missed the point of the spirate system. It is about user experience. Omega now has the technology for you to fine tune your watch by just coming into the boutique. It does not have to go to service to be regulated- it is an in boutique quick fix. They now have a way to continue to interact and bring people into the boutique other than buying. And it will allow you to get the watch performing at a level beyond any thing else out there. When everyone else is trying to get you to have to use their service and those service experiences are getting to months long waits to get your watch back- Omega has a real time experience that brings you into the boutique- genius.
This is a really interesting take.
That is an
Interesting take
Counterpoint: for luxury prices, it should work in tippy top fashion _from the factory._ #DeathToTheSwissWatchMafia
The big deal here is that Omega can now regulate watches in-store with minimal specialised tools, rather than having to send your watch back to Omega or a third-party.
But can they? Who is going to do the regulation, not just some random person in a WOS store, surely? Boutiques only…where there is a trained watchmaker, on site, in a dust-free room…while you wait? Seems unlikely to me 🤔 More likely; leave it with us, we’ll send it off to a service centre… in which case it’s no different to how things are now.
@@borassictime918 Yes, I'd say they can and Omega boutiques only of course, not just your average high-street AD 😂. But that's still impressive, most major cities have one. Or of course your local watch maker will be able to regulate it easily, my watchmaker is keen on it from a servicing and accuracy point of view. Well done Omega. It's easy to underestimate just how hard these things are to implement and roll out, global release and at scale. Will take time of course, but a positive step forward for Omega.
You can tell you guys are real friends…makes the funniness even more funny.
omega actually is what every single describes itself as, innovating, passionate, with vision and providing quality products
I own both Omega and Rolex, and like them both for different reasons. My Rolex is not a hyped model and does not sell for 2X MSRP, but that’s not why I bought it. My Speedmaster pro is a technical marvel with a real historical backstory. I realize it’s an over-generalization, but I believe way more Rolex buyers get them either as jewelry or as a perceived asset class for investment purposes while Omega buyers are way more represented by watch enthusiasts who don’t give a rodent’s posterior about resale value.
A Rolex is a jewelry item for most at this point. You’re 100% right. I don’t want a day date because it’s a marvel of hourology..i want a Day Date because it’s the “President”
I believe (and I'll be gladly proven wrong) that Rolex makes the best-wearing technically competent watches.
There is no competition to the Daytona with similar specs and dimensions anywhere at any price. Every other chronograph is either too big, too thick, lacks water resistance or lacks accuracy. The same is true for the Submariner. Other diving watches are too big, too thick or both. Same for GMT Master II. Have a look at Omega's GMT offerings. They're all laughably big.
I'm in the market for an automatic chronograph and a diver which I could comfortably wear on my 6-inch wrist. Omega has nothing for me, as far as I can tell. On the other hand, I really like Omega's Globemaster series and I would definitely buy that rather than a Datejust.
@@jenda386 It depends on what you're looking for, I'm no diver and I don't care for most tool watches, I wouldn't trade anything I own for a Rolex unless it's some historically significant model I couldn't pass. Rolex is not the high end of luxury or build quality, they have really strong offerings for the money (assuming you can get them at retail) but they're the best marketers not the best watchmakers.
The new tech is going to be a game changer for Omega. Now you can have your watch time adjusted in the store easily in a few minutes rather than have to send it out to the watch maker.
The connection to the 15k gauss is on the left small dial, black and yellow hand. And it made me think of the old aqua Terra immediately
The ETA movements Omega used in the 90s and 2000s where comparable to the Rolex's of the period and the bracelets were better. I have 2 Seamasters from that period and both are great. I also had Rolex's of that period and now 2 six digit models. Now Omega is more advanced on the movements. And they make excellent bracelets.
The thing about Rolex is that they are just better marketers of their products.
Rolex didn’t even make their own movements until 2004 when the bought Aegler. They’ve used a bunch of companies including ETA, Valjoux, Zenith and Aegler.
Yes correct. Just look at 16610 bracelets and clasp! They're like folded from tin can.
So true on this release, I had no idea what Omega was really up to with this release until y’all watch-tubers made it quite clear that the magic is in the movement.
This latest release isn’t the one for me, but a 300M with this new movement, yeah, that would be it.
I walked past the Omega store that's within the Bullring Shopping Centre in Birmingham,England. It's the first time that I've seen the Seamaster Planet Ocean Chronograph in the flesh...wow! I've decide to do some saving and buy a preowned watch but now I can't decide whether to buy the Omega or a vintage Datejust.
I went there last week, saw rose gold moonwatch I thought I have to see/feel it in the metal so I popped in. Asked about the new colours speedy 57s , they said the supply is very limited hardly seen any.
Yup exactly! Omega watches have to be seen in the flesh. The specs on paper about the thickness isn't actually an issue . Because, specially the speedmasters, Omega has mastered the craft by layering the case, bezel, back and crystal... when worn you would be surprised it's not thick at all.
It's just right amount of thickness.
Best regards
@@Mega-zi7ys cheers mate
Omega vs rolex if we are only talking modern line-up, im going with omega every time.
I didn’t realise that the Omega brand ambassadors didn’t get paid 😮
That isn’t actually correct. However you can choose to be paid in watches. In that case, yeah you might not get cash.
I don't know if they still do that but in the documentation they actually compliment you for being an ambassador. Of some sort...
This was a cool bit of trivia
If your watch is fast you’d be early. If you’re watch is slow you’d be late
As a traditional horology time teller I dont think these innovations are useless.They are advancements in timekeeping on the mechanical level not at the whim of an I phone malfunction or a dead battery.
That 30mm watch would look GREAT on Anna’s wrist.
Rolex sheep before the Spirate system “Rolex is one second a day more accurate than Omega “ Rolex sheep after Spirate system “A few seconds a day doesn’t matter “
You guys Crack me up!! But please do a little research boys before committing on a new release.. there is a connection to the Aquaterra 15,000 gauss, the running seconds hand which is black and yellow which collectors named it the BUMBLEBEE and that's why we see a honeycomb dial, a black and yellow watch and the little nod to the 10th anniversary on the date wheel with a different font for the number 10.. plus the amazing technology this watch has is unmatched.. Rolex is the King.. and Omega is the ROCK STAR!!!!🤘⌚️😃👍
"He only does misinformation!!!!" (Neil Grassfed Tyson). Nice job Christian!! Tons more respect just earned!!!
I think Omega does an amazing job on also communicating their tech. Love how they do small but incremental developments of their watches in all aspects. Thats why they are the best bang for buck, a value prop
i think the connection is that they wanted their 10th anniversary watch, thanks to moonswatch, to be in the immensely popular speedmaster case (even though it's larger) rather than in the "generic" aqua terra line
The point about sourcing movements, brings to mind how Rolex didn't produce their own movements until 2006. That was when they purchased the company that manufactured their movements.
These two crack me up. Great stuff.
Omega is just cool, Nuff said! That's not to say I don't like Rolex, I just don't like the people that buy Rolex, just because it's a Rolex??? 👍
One of your best videos, very informative i always learn so much and this is no different. Down the omega iceberg we go!
Love this channel. This is by far the best talking head video on RUclips. Laughed through the whole thing!
Dial and movement is what matters for me. For the movement not necessarily complications. Chronos are cool and I have one but it feels like a party trick. I never actually need it. The most complicated watch I could ever find use for is a day date gmt. What intrigues me most about movements is things like the spring drive or coaxial escapement. Just something that improves what the watch is for and that’s telling time in the most efficient and accurate way possible without it being a mass produced cheap quartz movement. I even love a vintage accutron with a tuning fork. So combine an intriguing movement and a beautiful dial and that’s how I’m judging whether a watch is something I want to buy.
Oh crap I think we’re in a different dimension again. Seen every episode of Seinfeld at least 30 times and never heard Kramer mention daylight savings time or 5 ply TP… This Mandela stuff is nuts
“Listen. God bless. You’re nitpicking, you’re pissing me off. Cut it out.” 😂
christian channeling his inner hansel - Do I know what product I'm selling? No. Do I know what I'm doing today? No. But I'm here, and I'm gonna give it my best shot.
mikey completely carrying christian on his own show
mikey is everything right
I think they pregame with lines of cocaine then record videos.
Hard to make fun of the way Christian talks when Michael sounds like Walt Jr. from breaking bad.
Reminds me of the Apollo 8 more than anything else. Textured dial, race track, yellow accents...
Another great vid guys… keep up the good work!
@Christian what is the brand of your glasses?
Never fail to make me laugh. At home sick today. Thanks guys! :)
I’ll share a little secret….if you have a biceps you can rock any bigger watch, no matter your wrist size.
Michael (if you see this), what quarter-zip are you wearing? Looks great!
Forgot Rolex using Zenith, ETA, Aegler and Valjoux. Rolex didn’t officially make their own movements until 2004 when they bought Aegler. For some time Gruen and Rolex had the same movements from Aegler.
Yes, but the fanboys would conveniently pretend to overlook that for fear their resale values might go down.
Hehehe
Always enjoy watching you guys
Hopefully some day they'll reintroduce some vintage looking Seamasters (35-37mm cases, 9-10mm thick, solid case backs..).. upgraded movement and water resistance, but 50s, 60s and 70s style... that would really be grail level for me ... think that 1948 tribute watch but no gimmicky case back and good water resistance
He goes “whatevs” at a new Speedmaster, but gushes over the socalled “new releases” of Rolex😂
Yup !
Is it the camera angle, or is that bezel off a hair clockwise? Seems like you’d want to send your best example out for media coverage, right?
I know it gets a lot of hate lately..but i actually love the Moonswatch. Omega has some really good stuff in general. I like them. Can’t afford most of their stuff but i like it anyway.
My biggest issue with the Moonswatch isn’t it’s existence or branding, it’s the poor quality. Color rubbing off on peoples wrists, pushers snapping off, etc…
Anything bi-compact im a fan of on a speedmaster. Looks good.
Beautiful new Omega. Be careful putting on those Christmas lights 👀
Useless to many maybe, but I but my automatics based on promised accuracy. I keep them based on delivered accuracy.
really enjoyed this video, made me laugh. Perfect start to weekend and accompaniment to Saturday morning breakfast
My PO already runs at about +.2 sec a day. Omega watches are incredible!
Or the Santos Carrée that is powered by a rebranded ETA 2670/2671 ("Cartier Cal. 76/77")
They should use the ultra thin titanium movement that they have in the archive, and design Rory Mcilroy a modern day innovative watch that can be worn while he golfs as #1 in the world. Would need to be an impressive watch as a whole to keep up with his swing speed!
For $60G’s +they already came out with an ultralight aquaterra, I believe from titanium that is designed specifically to withstand the forces generated by golf. Shame it isn’t in a more consumer friendly package but it exists nonetheless 😂
44.25" Speedmasters wear surprisingly well!
Exactly! Even those whining about the thickness on the spec sheet... it's because they haven't tried them in person.
If anyone is looking for a steal on Omega, checkout model 3513.50. It was a JDM only Speedmaster Date. These can easily be found for $1600 ($1500 watch + $100 import duties). The movement is modified Valjoux 7751.
It's all about that extra millimeter!
What eye glass frames is Christian wearing?
hey just wanted to say i like you guys always enjoy when ya upload
I've been looking at a speedmaster...I'm wondering if the prices will dip soon so not sure I want to buy now.
omega just rose their prices in February similar to other brands
@Lee interesting experience and thank you for sharing. i also have the 3861 sapphire sandwich and it is very comfortable and havent had any of the issues you mentioned. wishing you the best
@Lee weird one ...all ppl i know love how comfortable it is.
@@ahancho exactly...me and my friends too. so comfortable.
These are great, well done. 👍👍
OMG i just figured it out, Micheal you like Hughie from the the Boys...also great great content as always guys!
The only connection with aqua terra is the color. The original aqua terra with 15,000 gauss resistance had a very similar colorway.
Can’t wait for the first watch adopt this
15:41 you're welcome!!
Mate? Hopefully under the jacket it is a GShock!!
Cool date font
The problem is Omega needs to make watches as compelling as the movements.
Agreeed. I love omega but watch collectors aren’t doing space expeditions anymore, nor do they care about the timekeeping aspect of the watches. People care more about how it looks on the wrist and how it is proportioned. Great new movement but a >44mm watch is too big for most people
Fair take. A GMT Master competitor would be nice as well, it's crazy how Omega fails to offer a (non hockey puck) sports GMT. I'd gladly pay a 2-3K premium over a Longines or Tudor for Seamaster heritage GMT.
@@slanealb agreed!
@@monarchtimepiececollection Yeah I think the Omega watches are either like that or just boring. I had an AT and sold it because I never wore it … just never felt like “the one” to pull out of the box. Snoozer of a watch, despite being technically excellent and a great value.
@@hoostineFL yea although im really liking the new AT that omega is gonna release. The newer dial and bracelet looks to be the thing that watch was missing
Guys you always speak about omega and how amazing they are compared to Rolex but one of you got a new Rolex and the other is on the list for Daytona. Do you have any omega?
How does Michael look so cool and together effortlessly, and Christian tries so hard but doesn't quite pull it off 🤔
As an asian man living in North America, I feel called out. Glad to hear I'm not alone in my desire for dress watches.
Michael, where is this fleece from? It's lovely
I caught that Neil Tyson slam.
How about Tudor? They make better movements available for less expensive prices. My BB58 is my daily watch and I can’t come up with an Omega model to exchange it with
Tudor doesn’t make movements, Kenissi does. Now, these movements are nothing fancy, they are pretty basic and not well finished but they do the job and for a daily beater, they are just fine.
@@diavalus Kenissi is a joint venture of Tudor. By the way did you just call kenissi movements basic?
@@algo2017 it is a stand alone company, therefore, the statement I made above still holds. And yes, the movements they manufacture for Tudor are pretty basic. They do not have any notable complication and the finishing is a basic machine finishing.
@@diavalus as long as a director from Tudor sits in the kenissi boardroom make decisions I can’t call kenissi a stand alone company.
They don’t pay their brand ambassadors??? 😮
10th aniv of the first silicon hairspring used in an omeg watch.
"Asian clients enjoy elegant watches." True, but it's fascinating that GS insists on these THICK sports watches. They could make them thinner, but they don't. They want the thickness as part of the experience.
"Getting an extra millimeter..." *CUT!* Can only imagine what happened next! Great episode!
Why do you always have great stories, and we never get to see any of them taking place? Is it so hard to take out a phone and actually film Cindy Crawford presenting Omega? Take video operator with you at all times, if you have too.
14:32 😂💯
The spirate is only all that useful if you aren’t doing a good job regulating at the factory. Rolex specifically guarantees their accuracy, and if it doesn’t they have3 to take it back and adjust it at a service center so they are incentivized to get it right the first time. Since the spirate allows the dealers to fix what the factory didn’t get right, there is now little cost to Omega to get it right initially. They should be working to make their watches more reasonable thickness, then given their superior finishing compared to Rolex might allow them to start recovering market share Omega lost late in the 20th century.
Out of the factory they are guaranteed and checked in the METAS certification to run 0-2 spd.
As far as Rolex and their superlative movements guaranteed to -2 to +2 spd. Do an online search of “problems with the 32xx movements” and read the thousands of posts (just on the Rolex forum there are > 3000) and number of watches being returned and sold because of low amplitude and losing > 10 spd, or don’t.
I am not trying to be rude, but you have a limited take on this topic.
@@richardjohnson559Rolex was never known for accuracy. All of my pieces were never that accurate.
It’s simple, omega are better watches but Rolex are better marketers
If by “better watch” you mean “obnoxiously thicker” then yes you are correct
I know this might sound crazy/blasphemous to you people, but some people have big wrists and like big watches.
SMP > Sub Omega & Cartier have been killing it lately
What do you mean ”the 222 doesn’t taper”? It does. Your gold watch you wearing atm looks like a cuff though bro!
Your right that Neil only spreads misinformation nailed that one respect ✊
That's a watch
No truer words spoken “NDT only does mis-information”
they always did
Hello, is it me you are looking for
“It’ll end up in Asia” Bold move picking the continent with 4.6B people 😂
Lol
Little tired of the Speedmaster brick back the Omega flight master
I can’t stand when we call meetings and people show up -2 sec late.
What do you guys think of the new Cartier ads?
Period.
yeahh but the prices are going down all the time nothing special anymore
Wouldn't you be late if your watch was slow, not fast? 🤔
"He only does misinformation" 💀
Yes it can be regulated to 0.1s a day. But +0 to +2 accuracy that is certified is also very cool. Michael missed a cool point in his presentation again 🤦♂
I was thinking the same thing… amazing technology in the same old watch…
The need to revamp a line or bing back something sick from the past.
Too many speedmasters!
If your watch was running fast, you would be early, not late…
You a Scouser Christian lad?
you're not doing product. you're doing time...
