Why This Watch Matters

Do you believe in love at first sight? We do after one look at this Omega with two-tone dial.

The Full Story

Some watches are impressive because of their complications, others are known for their size, and some are just really, really good-looking. This Omega is in the last group. If you don’t believe us, just take a closer look at the two-tone silvered dial with painted Arabic numerals and applied-dot minute track. All this fitted into a 35 mm case that looks incredible on the wrist? We think we have found your match.
