Today is Tuesday… and in terms of watches, you know what it means. Omega didn’t wait long in 2021 to bring its first novelty for “Speedy Tuesday” and, clearly, this is a very important one. Today, Omega updates its most iconic watch, a model that has been practically untouched since the late 1960s, with the […]

There’s far more to Omega than just its iconic sports watches, the well-known Speedmaster and Seamaster. Even though the brand has slightly simplified its offering over the years, two other collections, both focused on elegance, need to be mentioned.

Dive watches… are not even a style or a category of watches anymore, but a proper market with its own codes, its icons, its contenders, its specifications and its aficionados.

The Seamaster Diver 300M needs no introduction anymore. The latest generation of the so-called “Bond Watch“, launched in 2018, proved to be an excellent option for those in the market for a luxury dive watch, even when compared to another diving heavyweight.

Whether for its design, its accuracy, the level of details, the overall execution, the historical relevance and, of course, its absolutely superb movement, it has it all. When it has been officially revealed, we knew Omega had created a real showstopper, a watch that was on the line for becoming a success. Still, we wanted to confirm all of these statements by putting the watch to a test, on the wrist – and, let’s be honest, we also wanted to enjoy it for ourselves, even for a short period of time. So, fasten your spacesuit and let’s have a close look at the Speedmaster Moonwatch Calibre 321.
