Omega Watches has just released the OMEGA Hour Vision Blue, a special edition of the stunning Hour Vision. It has a 360° see-through case-body which is “hugged” by a 41mm, stainless steel outer case. This wrister – the Hour Vision Blue – has been produced in support of ORBIS International’s fight against preventable blindness. Working closely with OMEGA on the project is actor and brand ambassador Daniel Craig. It’s always great to see contributions like this from watchmakers!!!
The Hour Vision Blue is equipped with OMEGA’s Co-Axial calibre 8500 and is an officially certified chronometer. Its Co-Axial escapement on three levels means that the hour hand can be adjusted independently of the minute and seconds hands – ideal for travellers who regularly need to change time zones. The Co-Axial movement can be observed through sapphire crystal in the polished, screwed caseback. This beast is not hard to gaze at either, with its “sun-brushed”, blue dial which is designed specifically Hour Vision Blue. It boasts 18 carat, white gold facetted hour, minute and seconds hands and features a date window at 3 o’clock.
