Towards the center of link the dial you’ll notice a set of link crosshairs, and while these are an interesting trait you don’t see everyday, they’re not exactly the main event in this case. Pun absolutely intended. If the indices and minute markings link seem familiar, that’s because they were inspired by another offering Omega had at the time: The Speedmaster.

First, we wanted to celebrate a watch we've talked about for a decade-plus on HODINKEE as something we just love – a Vulcain Cricket. You know, the watch of Presidents, and one of the most charming vintage watches out there. This one is noteworthy in that it's solid 14k gold, and very honest. It's smaller at 34mm, but link so charming, and very elegant. Also, the sound of the alarm is just wonderful. You can take a link closer look link at this Cricket right now in the HODINKEE Shop.

Here we see industrial, not artisanal, production. Omega produces 3,000 link watches a day, Aeschlimann tells us. Which means Omega link produces in two weeks what Blancpain does in a year. All of Omega's manufacturing is now under one roof: T2 (assembling the watch head and casing), T3 (bracelet assembly), and T4 (packaging and shipping). (Movement making, T1, is link done elsewhere at ETA factories.) Also here is Omega's METAS testing center for Master Chronometer certification.
