This. I know the square root of eff all about fashion but I thought he looked the dog's bollocks!
And let's not forget he has actually won a race this season albeit a sprint one. And in a car that appears to be a bit of a turd, pending and significant upgrades.
Omega seems to be out of the business of doing anything special or interesting for their loyal fans, now it is making watches for the mass market. Boring.
I dont see their logic tbh because this 'mass market' stuff like their gold speedys you end up getting for 50% off a few years down the line - but their stainless steel stuff sells like hot cakes ?? I think they are so scared of going back to the days where they over did the LE's and in some peoples eyes devalued the LE's - maybe the pendulum has to swing in the opposite way now before it rebalances
I saw lots of gold watches in the Boutique last saturday, Including the recent seamaster.
This makes me wonder whether the profit from selling one gold watch in a butique is worth when compared to the one or two hundred hesalite/sapphire speedy pros sold at the same time... I made up the ratio but would be surprised if it were lower.
Maybe gold watches are a matter of prestige for the brand, so they can showcase them. But I doubt they make them big money.
