The special edition of Omega Hour Vision watches, called Hour Vision Blue, presents outstanding timepieces from the brand’s famous De Ville collection. It features unique design and revolutionary in-house self-winding movement.

 

omega-hour-vision-blue-watchThe Omega Hour Vision Blue watches are crafted for a special cause.  According to the partnership with the ORBIS International, over the next few years, Swiss watchmaker will help the fight against preventable blindness, with minimum a million dollars.

Famous actor and Omega’s ambassador Daniel Craig, who already gave a great contribution to the brand’s popularity, by wearing the Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m in his latest James Bond movie, also takes part in this noble action.

Buying the Hour Vision Blue watch, you will help the organization that has given the medical care to more than 12 million people in 88 countries. Also, you will get the beautiful and quality timepiece from the renowned Swiss brand.

omega-co-axial-escapement-movement-caliber-8500Omega Hour Vision Blue watch feature the unique 360° see-through body, made of stainless steel, with diameter of 41 mm. Case back and the side of the watch case is covered with the transparent sapphire crystal, with anti-reflecting coating, which allows a clear look on the stunning automatic mechanism, Co-Axial calibre 8500. This technological hi-end was used for the first time, in original Omega Hour Vision.




Omega’s self-winding movement comprises 39 jewels and oscillates at frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. Two barrels mounted in series, provide a superb power reserve of 60 hours. Thanks to the Co-Axial Escapement, which guaranties greater precision, stability and durability, Omega Hour Vision Blue is an officially certified chronometer.

Blue Sun – Brushed Watch Dial

Every single detail on the blue sun-brushed dial demonstrates the complexity of Omega’s craftsmanship. Raised hour markers are made of solid white gold, as well as watch hands and the frame on the date window. A separate minute track is placed between the outer rim of the watch face and the grooved blue hour track.

Omega Hour Vision Blue watch comes with the black leather strap, which incorporates an insert to avoid strain and cracking of the material. A fold-over clasp guaranties securely, as well as great comfort on the wrist.

Omega presented its new Hour Vision Blue watch line in the world biggest watch fair, Baselworld 2011.

It is available for £4,250.

    After this watch I became fun of Omega watches :)

    Omega blue watch is absolutely perfect

    Is there any new information about number of pieces? It will be shame if Omega launches this line in limited edition, especially if we consider the noble cause.

    A few years ago, I bought the Omega Hour Vision. The price was real fortune for an watch, but I have never regretted because of my choice. Hope my wife will not read this, cause I’m seriously considering buying this new version. As I can see, the blue version has the same caliber, which works perfectly. It’s a real mechanical miracle and good investment in a long-lasting watch.

    i would like to know the price of the the omega hour vision blue wrist watch, i have an omega seamaster at the minute

  5. o-mega March 18, 2011

    It’s still out of the market. You can expect the information about price soon after the Basel show.

  6. Bill J March 20, 2011

    can’t wait, can’t wait!

  7. Uzziel April 2, 2011

    Love the watch. I hope the price is not out of this world. Great cause. Great ambassador. The Blue namesake matches Daniel
    Craig’s eyes!

  8. O-mega April 23, 2011

    Now I can announce it – The Omega Hour Vision Blue has been on my wrist since yesterday :D . It gives me so much pleasure. Definitely the best watch I’ve ever had. Maybe I don’t look like James Bond, don’t even have blue eyes like Daniel, but I’m feeling very powerful with this beauty, although I don’t ride Aston Martin.

  9. Michael P Eclipse April 27, 2011

    still no news about price…? :(
