A festive tale of Omega precision
Sticklers for accuracy will love the four standout timepieces specially selected by the brand for Christmas
THIS CHRISTMAS, OMEGA IS ALL about precision. Not just in telling time, but also the exacting, meticulous attention to detail in watchmaking that the brand is synonymous with. For the always-punctual loved one on your gift list who needs just one more reason to be on time, Omega has unveiled four timepieces they would love to receive. Carefully selected from its four iconic watch families, each stands out for its black tones and stainless steel craftsmanship – an enduring combination that forever remains in style, whatever the season.
Seamaster Aqua Terra
Exuding quiet luxury while also showcasing Omega’s rich ocean heritage, this 38 mm watch features a lacquered black varnish dial and date window at 6 o’clock, all framed in a symmetrical stainless steel case with a transparent case-back. The hands and hour markers are all rhodium-plated and coated with white Super-LumiNova that gives off a blue glow in the dark.
The Seamaster Aqua Terra is powered by Omega’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8800, a high-performance automatic movement reliable for accuracy on shore or 150 metres beneath the waves. The highly antimagnetic movement, which has a power reserve of 55 hours, is certified by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS) for meeting the watch industry’s highest standards. It’s worn with an integrated bracelet with polished central links and brushed external links.
Price: S$9,600
Speedmaster 38 mm
Crafted for pure refinement, this chronograph has the look of Omega’s legendary Moonwatch. Perfectly sized at 38 mm, it is a timepiece for someone with an adventurous spirit and understated style.
Despite its simplicity, the Speedmaster 38 mm still retains the look and heritage of Omega’s most famous chronograph. A tachymeter scale on a black aluminium ring on the bezel sits atop the rim of the stainless steel case, which is water-resistant to 100 metres and has a seahorse medallion stamped on its back. The black dial with rhodium-plated indexes and hands also has three sub-dials and a date window at 6 o’clock.

Price: S$8,100
De Ville Prestige
Precision meets simplicity in this 40 mm stainless steel watch. First introduced in 1994, the De Ville is made for the city – and the watch, now in its third generation, keeps you on time for every engagement.

The timepiece displays a classical design and refined elegance. While minimalist in appearance, a closer look at the De Ville Prestige reveals distinctive details including a domed sun-brushed black dial with a sun-brushed finish. The dial is embellished with Roman numerals and cabochon indexes in PVD Sedna gold.
The timepiece’s pure look is completed by a date window at 6 o’clock and a railway minute track on the outer zone. The De Ville Prestige is presented on a seven-row bracelet in stainless steel, fitted with a butterfly clasp. The watch is powered by an Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer automatic movement, which can be admired through a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal case-back. It has a power reserve of 55 hours.
Price: S$7,100
Constellation Meteorite
Direct from the stars, this 41 mm stainless steel timepiece is made with a dial of genuine meteorite. The ancient space material is around 4.5 billion years old, but is now a symbol of every precise second of the day on the Constellation Meteorite, thanks to the METAS-certified Co-Axial Chronometer Calibre 8900 inside the watch. The self-winding movement has a 60 hours’ power reserve.
The natural pattern in the meteorite is unique, which means no two dials are the same. As a Constellation model, the watch still shares features that include the polished claws, half-moon facets and Liquidmetal Roman numerals on a black ceramic bezel.
Water-resistant to 50 metres, the timepiece comes with a stainless steel bracelet featuring a fold-over butterfly clasp with comfort setting.
