Speedmaster reduced

There are a lot of watches on the market. Some more expensive, and some are less, but with the Speedmaster reduced , that makes the choice easier to make and eliminate the rest.

It's only natural to wonder why you should look at a watch that has a higher price tag than most, but the craftsmanship and value stands out from the others.

The Omega craftsmanship has been carried down for generations from Switzerland since 1848. Glamorous screen and sports stars have chosen these watches.

The Omega Seamaster is famous for being the watch of choice for James Bond--with current ambassadors including Pierce Brosnan, Nicole Kidman, tennis player Anna Kournikova, and swimmers Michael Phelps and Ian Thorpe.

Omega watches clearly speak of success. People that can afford a watch like this are obviously very successful.

Omega is more than just a fashon statement.

In 1965, the Omega Speedmaster chronograph was "flight-qualified by NASA for all manned space missions" as the only wristwatch to have withstood all of the U.S. space agency's severe tests, including passing grades for extreme shocks, vibrations, and temperatures ranging from -18 to +93 degrees Celsius.

Get it wet! No problem with that, because it can go underwater to 167 feet. Now, were not saying that you have to do the James Bond thing and jump out of airplanes, scuba dive on the fly but you you could if you had too.

You don't have to worry about your battery going out on you because it functions without a battery. You just have to hand wind it.

Omega produced a watch with the heart of it called the Co-Axial Escapement. This area makes the watch run. It reduces friction among the parts, producing greater stability, precision and reducing service requirements.

It's nice to know before you drop your hard earned money to know what other people think of the watch. With the price lowered and the Speedmaster Reduced it's easier to choose but sometimes hearing from real reviews, from product owners helps you decide if it is right for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best watch for years and years, May 10, 2005

I've owned this watch for over 2 years now and have worn it every single day since the day I bought it. I intend to keep it for years (probably for the rest of my life) as it remains the most swanky and stylish (elegant yet functional) watch I've ever owned (and I've owned and sold quite a few).

The Speedmaster has all the appeal and extreme accruracy of a Rolex, yet none of the gaudiness-it's understated, cool but not too cool. Looking at it evokes a sense of faith in exploration and the adrenaline rush of speed and the force of Gs or zero gravity. With it's black dial and white hands, and brushed silver bracelet and casing, the Speedmaster is one of the best executed designs to come out of the last 100 years and certainly one of the most classic timepieces ever.

There are other models that offer things since as a day/date, or a slightly smaller size, or a glass crystal instead of the sturdy Hesalite plastic one, but these are not the original "Moon Watch" and are not worth buying. If you are going to go Speedmaster, get the original. Technically this is a men's watch, but I've seen it worn by a woman with great success (the actor Daniel Day-Lewis's wife wears one).

It's Swiss made and Nasa spacewalk certified. This very watch model was worn on the Moon (on the outside of the space suit!) by Neil Armstrong in the Apollo missions back in the late 1960s. The build quality and styling has not changed much since then (it hasn't needed to). This is a manual watch, which means you have to wind it up. I like that, it becomes part of your daily routine like sleeping and eating. The back is engraved with a cool logo and a Nasa approval insignia. When your mate picks it up off the nightstand in the morning and reads what it says on the back, she will probably ask you about it.

This is the stuff of legends, and it's a pretty good watch too.
