Spotlight on Omega

Last weekend, we took another look at the Omega Bullhead watches that we are privileged to have in stock, but of course these two fine timepieces only represent a small drop in the veritable sea of Omega watches that we have here at Banks Lyon, so we thought we’d showcase both a gents’ and a ladies’ Omega wristwatch in our latest feature. These watches are members of Omega’s Seamaster and Constellation families respectively, and both are superb examples of watchmaking in every respect.

Omega Seamaster Co-Axial Chronograph Diver 300m

No horological brand possesses more substantial links with the maritime industry than Omega, and this particular Seamaster fuses this nautical essence with a dash of adventurous sporting panache. A lacquered black dial forms the centrepiece of this Seamaster, with flashes of crimson apparent on the brand name, second hand and smaller interval recorders, and crisp white also being utilised to create a contrasting and hugely readable display. The polished ceramic unidirectional bezel is also black in colouration, and in turn complements the stainless steel of the 41 mm steel case and the bracelet with great assurance.

This chronograph is powered by a Calibre 3330 Co-Axial movement with a 52 hour power reserve, and this fact alone means that it is a timekeeping instrument of exceptional prowess. However, as befits a diving watch, this movement is shielded by a water resistance of 300 metres and a purpose designed helium-escape valve on the side of the case, so this accuracy is also guaranteed even within more extreme environments. With the bracelet lending this timepiece a contemporary appearance that may not have been emphasised by a rubber strap, this Seamaster is equally as suited to the demands of a dress function or a diving exploit. This renowned Omega Seamaster Co-Axial Chronograph Diver 300m watch is in stock at Banks Lyon for £3,800, but is available on 0% finance for 36 monthly payments of £84.44 and a deposit of 20%.

 

Omega Constellation Brushed Quartz

The drama and beauty of the constellations within the night sky is something that never dulls, and this gorgeous member of Omega’s Constellation range is eminently worthy of such a grandiose namesake. The aesthetical themes of the cosmos are readily apparent upon this timepiece, with a ‘supernova’ pattern blossoming across a luxuriant chocolate brown dial, and star-like diamonds dancing around both the 14 carat red gold bezel and within each of the tiny indexes. Exhibiting the famous ‘Griffe’ claws upon the side of the 24mm casing – a trademark of the Constellation collection – this watch looks truly glorious, and is just as well equipped in terms of practicality too.

A precision calibre 1376 quartz movement that is especially favoured by female watch lovers graces the interior of the Constellation, and the elegant design of the exterior is protected by a water resistance of 100 metres and an anti-reflective sapphire crystal. Such considerations mean that the brushed steel and gold form of this Constellation is anything but a triumph of style at the expense of substance, so it really would make an excellent wristwatch for any occasion. This delightful Omega Constellation Brushed Quartz watch retails at £4,670, but can adorn your wrist today for 36 monthly payments of £103.78 alongside a 20% deposit.

 

Omega has created many stunning timepieces over the years, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to state that they have a watch to suit any conceivable requirement. At Banks Lyon, you’re also able to take advantage of our multitude of flexible 0% finance options, so any of the Omega Seamaster and Omega Constellation watches that we have in stock are eminently accessible (along with many other ranges too). If you’d like more information about our Omega wristwatches, then be sure to contact our professional team.
