    Sorry if this is a common question but, is there a reason that Omega always has the watches at 10:07:37? Having just been at the Houston Space Center, I wondered if it had some historical significance.

    I've always been led to believe this is refered to as 'happy time' and it's just the position on the dial where the hands look aesthetically the best as the dial 'smiles' at you.
    I think weirdly some mobile phone manufacturers even show this time on their digital displays.

    Although I could be totally wrong!

    I always thought it was so the hands were spread out enough to frame the logo that is at the 12 o'clock position on most watches.

    It simply looks the best in photos and doesn't hide the logo.

    Thank-you. I wondered if it was the time the first step on the moon was taken or something....

    It happens to be the time Forum luminary Ash rolls out of bed after a night of particularly ambitious drinking, knocking over the neighbors' mailboxes and yelling obscenities into the clear Australian night until the police arrive. If Omega thought it was worth commemorating, so should you.

    ..... and all this time I thought it was the exact time Genta came up with the idea for the Constellation.
