Hallo allemaal!
Omega heeft een ultra licht en ultra duur horloge uitbracht.
The latest in lightweight mechanical sports watches from Omega features a movement made in ceramized titanium.
Today we have an extremely lightweight, ergonomic, and sports-friendly mechanical wristwatch from Omega to introduce. It draws on the company’s penchant for developing hugely amagnetic chronometer-certified wristwatches while also taking the overall mass down (to 55 grams, or about the weight of 11 nickels), a plus for comfort and for reducing the effects of shocks on the mechanism inside. The Seamaster Aqua Terra Ultra Light’s case, case back, and crown are all made of an alloy called Gamma Titanium, a first use for Omega. And the dial has been designed to use less material and therefore weigh less. There’s also no date display, which helps in reducing weight to a bare minimum.
Initial Thoughts
According to Omega, the watch was developed in collaboration with its longtime golf ambassador Rory McIlroy. Though not being billed specifically as a golfer’s watch, the timepiece is being debuted on the eve of one of Omega’s major sports activations, the Omega European Masters, in what is, arguably, its most important sports activity.

Persoonlijke toevoeging:
Hij weegt 55 gram, grappig, maar ze moeten eens aan hun voorhoofd voelen. Wie de fuck gaat er nu een halve ton aan een ‘ceramized titanium’ horloge uitgeven? Afijn, als ik iets speciaals mis om de prijs te verklaren, let me know!
