To state that “Omega did a thing” would not come close to doing these two new watches justice. But Omega most certainly did something big here indeed. Today, we see the fruits of the brand’s Project Colibri with the introduction of two watches that share the same brand-new movement. An extraordinary, complicated movement, in fact, […]

I sometimes forget Omega makes tourbillons and other complicated movements. The hammered and beveled finishing on the movement really looks fantastic. Not to mention the lovely patterns on the subdials and chapter ring.

@Robert-Jan has this one on his wrist right now in LA, it actually doesn’t look too big at 45mm. I’d love to know what ~340 grams of gold feels like on the wrist but I’d have trouble not running for the exits once it was on.

Vintage and modern Omega, even with its market share, exposure, following, are still underrated. The Chrono Chime is an example of this.

Id love to know what -450000chf (ex VAT) feels like on the wallet 😁 On second thoughts…

“Some might even call it vulgar”

Makes me wish I made just like 1 more dollar an hour. I can definitely see @Alpha sporting this as an “evening watch”

I may get one when I have a spare AUD$760,556.56 to splash on a new watch.

Right so the name isn't just a misnomer, I took the time to read (unheard of in this day and age, I know) and apparently it chimes the chronograph indicator. Quite amazing.

The you tube videos look computer generated.
Wonder if we will ever see this actually on someone's wrist.
I do like the retro one.

I’m so glad the Speedmaster Chrono Chime is the price it is. I got very worried it would be affordable as soon as I saw it! Incredible work and a thing of beauty but one to admire from afar. I would also as personal preference favour a stainless steel version over gold.

Appears to be on a genuine human being's wrist in that photo.

Putting that incredible movement is that monstrously swollen blasphemy of a Speedmaster case is a crime against Speedmasters... and that incredible movement.

Come on folks, let a dress watch be a dress watch.

We have seen that at the 2008 ALASKA Projekt Speedy as well - and that is pretty cool 😎

Expensive and sophisticated, but nevertheless very ugly. A clumsy smorgasboard of style elements and a pity about the Speedmaster.
Just my opinion, do not want to offend anyone.
