Nicole Kidman Wears Omega Watches
Nicole Kidman, Omega Watch Ambassador
Nicole has been an Omega watch Ambassador since 2005 and proudly wears the Seamaster Planet Ocean. This beautiful women’s watch comes in either white or black leather strap, with our without chronographic function. My favorite is the steel yellow-gold watch, with a white leather bracelet. Gorgeous!
The signature Omega watch logo is displayed in yellow-gold along with the hands and hour/minute arms. This watch is a Chronometer with a unidirectional rotating bezel. The dial is embellished with sparkling diamonds that bring life to this watch. The snow-white crocodile embossed leather bracelet looks amazing with the polished silver and gold-tone accents.
Omega’s Seamaster Planet Ocean has the classic Omega watch appeal, with a bit of flare. Of course, all of the innovation and quality Swiss watchmaking have gone into this watch, as well. In this case, beauty and functionality compete. Great choice, for Nicole…or you.

So it seems many companies have caught on to the iPhone application craze. Many makes and companies have adopted the use of smart-phone applications to further their own business advertising campaign; and they have been very successful to say the least. IWC has taken up this challenge and it looks like they have done a really good job in producing a wholesome application that is sure to lure in many buyers.
For starters, the application allows one to access, on the iPhone, much of the information that is available on the brand’s website. Easy browsing of the watch collections is available through the app.
Moreover, if you are interested in the way specific functions work, like the depth gauge on the Aquatime Deep Two or the digital calendar on the Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Digital Date Month, with a few clicks on the IWC application you can have a whole animation playing, clearly, but briefly explaining to you the intricacies of the watch’s functions.
The app also allows the user to virtually try out some real watches’ tool; like the winding up of the Portuguese Automatic watch.
The coolest feature has to be the one that allows you to see how certain watches would look on your hand. In a few, easy to follow steps, you can have your hand photographed and fitted into a template that places different model watches on your hand to entice you to buy the watch that best fits you.
Once you decide to buy, an easy IWC store locator will help you find a shop to which you should run to get your new watch.

Authentic Watches Versus Fakes
Authentic Rolex Watches Are Easy To Spot
In this report on Authentic Watches, I thought it would be helpful to throw out some tips for spotting a fake. The term “authentic” means real, genuine, bona fide, and sometimes it’s hard to tell if you’ve got the real deal. Well, I’m here to help.
Let’s start with Rolex. If you are going to pony up the dough for one of these timepieces, you don’t want to find that you’ve been duped. First, if the Rolex comes wrapped in a plastic bag, you’re in trouble. Rolex does not case their watches this way. Rolex does not make a watch with a see-through backing, and never has. Rolex micro-etches their logo just below the 6 o’clock mark. The etching is very small and may not be visible without a magnifying glass. One of the easiest ways to tell you have a fake is the weight of the watch. Rolex’s are made from quality materials and are considerably heavier than the copies. Look at the hand movement, a genuine Rolex will feature a second hand with a smooth, sweeping movement…not a sporadic, jerky tic. And if all you remember is this last tip, you’re going to be fine. Check for the case reference numbers engraved on the side of the case, in between the lugs. These numbers will be finely etched, with smooth precision.
There are a lot of un-reputable people out there, trying to pawn off these fakes. Be smart and savvy when making a purchase of this magnitude. Don’t get taken!

Omega Watches Are Out Of This World
Omega, Official Olympic Timekeeper
Omega Watches have been premier watchmakers for decades. The Omega Watch name stands for quality and style. Innovation and state-of-the-art technology define Omegas philosophy, and these principles continue to push this company into the forefront of their field.
The Omega Watch logo has long been associated with excellence. In 1999 Omega unveiled its first wristwatch featuring their Co-Axial mechanical movement. This is, quite simply the most advanced, well-made mechanical watch movements in the world, and just one of Omegas accomplishments.
Omega Watches have been to the moon and back, literally. In 1969 the Omega Speedmaster Chronograph was the first watch to travel to the moon, with Buzz Aldrin…and the speedmaster continues to be a standard piece of equipment on all space missions.
As the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games since 1932, Omega is dedicated to maintaining their exceptional reputation. Reflecting on the innovations in official timekeeping and creating technologies to accommodate for those advances has been a tireless effort by Omega. The 2012 Olympic Games will be held in London, and will mark the 80th year that Omega has served as the official timekeeper.
If the Omega watch is good enough for the astronauts and Olympic athletes…I’m pretty sure they make a timepiece to my standards. Omega…timeless, quality.
