Set a course for adventure with this classic Omega Seamaster 300M stainless steel men's automatic chronometer watch, part of Omega's James Bond collection. You'll be able to negotiate all manner of adventures and still look stylish in the boardroom or at the baccarat table. This highly accurate, self-winding timepiece is also a great diving watch, with water resistance to 300 meters (984 feet) and a helium escape valve, which allows helium to escape from inside the watch when the watch is worn in highly pressurized environments (such as long-term underwater work evading the bad guys). The large silver rhodium-plated case measures 41mm wide (1.61 inches) and it's complemented by a handsome stainless steel bracelet band. A blue elapsed time unidirectional bezel frames a wavy blue dial that includes luminous dotted hour markers, luminous-tipped skeleton hands, and a date window at 3 o'clock. Other features include a 48-hour power reserve and scratch-resistant and glare-proofed domed sapphire crystal.

It's powered by Omega's break-through Co-Axial escapement. Developed in conjunction with master watchmaker George Daniels, it's based on double co-axial escape wheel, a lever with three pallet stones and impulse stone on the balance roller, together with a free sprung-balance. The Co-Axial escapement system reduces sliding friction compared with the lever escapement and thus ensures greater accuracy over time.

This watch also features the Omega 2500 caliber automatic movement, which has been certified as a chronometer by the COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer Control). Only 3 percent of watches produced in Switzerland are "chronometer-certified." To achieve this highly coveted certification, the movements are subjected to numerous tests over a period of 15 consecutive days and nights, in five positions and at three different temperatures.
Omega watches have been inextricably tied to the culture of Swiss watchmaking since the forerunner to the Omega brand was founded in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland in 1848. Today, Omega is headquartered in Biel/Bienne Switzerland and continues to produce some of the finest luxury timepieces in the world. The Omega brand spirit is tied to innovation and pioneering “firsts” – making it natural that an Omega watch was the first watch on the Moon. Omega collections of note include Constellation, Seamaster, Speedmaster, and Deville. Whatever Omega model you choose, you can be assured it meets the highest standards of craftsmanship.

Tissot Men's Watch T36131672




The Tissot V8, like its namesake, the V8 engine, is a mighty timekeeping device that will look great on any man or woman’s wrist. Like all Tissot watches, the V8 series combines functionality and style in a way that only this Swiss watchmaker can achieve. And the V8 reflects the sporting theme that has dominated the styles of Tissot watches in recent years with a dial design inspired by a car dashboard, with the time indicator numerals done in a bold, contemporary-looking typeface.
Men who want to choose a watch model from the V8 line can pick the Men’s Watch T36131672. This watch will surely give you everything you’re looking for in a watch, with easy-to-use features and a quartz movement that ensures that you are always getting the most accurate time. And the watch face is covered with thick scratch-resistant sapphire crystal to protect the dial.

First, let’s look at the watch’s appearance. The T36131672 features a chunky case with an ivory dial face, along with white hands and a blue third hand that make reading the time easier. The dial features three sub-dials that work with the chronometer function, with 60-second, 30-minute and 1/10th second counters, as well as a date window at the three o’clock position that tells you the current date. The watch also features a fixed Tachymeter bezel that can be used to measure speed, making it very useful for sports enthusiasts who want to compute how fast they might have taken to travel a known fixed distance. And adding to the overall elegant appearance of the watch is a brown leather strap with a tang buckle, which is the typical belt-like buckle that is found in many watches with flexible bracelets. The T36131672 is a versatile fashion accessory that can be worn for any occasion, formal or informal, and with virtually any outfit.

The watch also features a chronometer that is controlled by pulling out the crown, as well as with two buttons for starting/stopping and resetting. The chronometer has two main functions. The ADD function allows users to measure consecutive events without having to reset in between readings as each consecutive time is added to the past total. The Split/Time function lets users to stop the chronometer to read an intermediate time without interrupting the timer. Once the reading has been taken, the user can restart the chronometer, and the hands will move forward to ‘catch up’ to the elapsed time. And if you want to use the watch while swimming, you can also do so since the timepiece is water-resistant to a depth of 100 meters (330 feet).
