OMEGA has created a special watch – the Hour Vision Blue – in support of ORBIS International’s fight against preventable blindness. Working closely with OMEGA on the project is actor and brand ambassador Daniel Craig.
The OMEGA Hour Vision Blue wristwatch is a special edition of the stunning Hour Vision. It has a 360° see-through case-body which is set in a robust 41 mm stainless steel outer case.
The Hour Vision Blue is equipped with OMEGA’s Co-Axial calibre 8500, the movement that signaled a revolution in series-produced mechanical watchmaking. The self-winding watch is an officially certified chronometer, a testimony to its precision and performance. Its Co-Axial escapement on three levels means that the hour hand can be adjusted independently of the minute and seconds hands – ideal for travelers who regularly need to change time zones.
The Co-Axial movement can be observed through sapphire crystal in the polished, screwed caseback. The Hour Vision Blue is water resistant to 10 bar / 100 metres / 330 feet.
Adding distinction to the timepiece is its sun-brushed blue dial designed especially for the appropriately named Hour Vision Blue. It has 18 Ct white gold facetted hour, minute and seconds hands and features a date window at 3 o’clock. The OMEGA Hour Vision Blue is presented on a black leather strap.
At just 1.85 thick, the movement of the Master Ultra Thin watch represents proof that even the greatest technology and sophistication may be accommodated within limited dimensions.

The Rolex Submariner is considered by many to be the ultimate wristwatch, despite its genuinely sporty roots as a true tool watch. The Submariner also holds tremendous collectors value and is one that will likely retain its value even when your son is ready to pass it on to the next generation.
A veritable horological legend, the Speedmaster beat out five other chronographs, including one from Rolex, to become NASA standard issue in the mid-1960s. It remains the official choice of NASA to this day and remains the only watch to have been worn on the moon.
The Portuguese Grande Complication features a host of the greatest achievements in watchmaking, including a perpetual calendar mechanically programmed until 2499, the perpetual moon phase display and a chronograph. When activated by the slide, the minute repeater chimes out the precise time in harmonious tones.

In 1969, TAG Heuer broke with tradition by creating the first square-cased, water-resistant watch in the history of watchmaking. Powered by the famous Chronomatic Calibre 11, the Monaco is also the world’s first automatic chronograph. A year later, Steve McQueen chose to wear it in the 1970 car-racing classic film, Le Mans: on his wrist, it became an icon.
The Monaco continues to represent the spirit of TAG Heuer. The blue chronograph version seduces by its 60-second counter at 3 o’clock and 30-minute counter at 9 o’clock, red-orange hands, and blue alligator strap. An authentic and original style that for decades has conferred an undeniable and timeless motor racing spirit.
