I am rather opinionated when it comes to luxury watches. This comes from spending 2 years in watchmaking school, studying directly under the guidance of a certified master swiss watchmaker who came here from Europe. Watches, especially mid to high grade swiss watches, are a passion of mine. I am not loyal to a brand or a style or anything else. I judge them for what they are, in terms of quality, function, construction, and style. A watchmakers point of view.
This said I will tell you that this particular watch is what I consider to be a "best kept secret" sort of watch. This is an AUTOMATIC watch (read: Mechanical - NOT Quartz), and of CHRONOMETER grade function. Chronometer as used here is a measure of accurate timekeeping, not quality - a point often misunderstood - and is used mostly from a marketing point of view by companies such as Rolex. HOWEVER.

This review is from: Omega Men's 2908.50.82 Seamaster Planet Ocean Automatic Chronometer Orange Bezel Watch (Watch)
Today I have this watch for more than a month. I tested carefully the accuracy of this magnificent timepiece and it only gain 6 seconds in a month. 6 second is really amazing not even quart watches have that level of accuracy and for and automatic it's nuts.
Omega has fall behind Rolex and other top Swiss watches manufacturers. However, under the Swatch Group it looks like Omega it's back on track. With the development of coaxial moment with this watch used (2500),less marketing and more engineering investment; Omega is back to his rightful place between top Swiss manufactures.
Frequently I see people complaining because Omega reduced vibrations to his coaxial movement, but his accuracy seen not to be affected.
In conclusion, this is a best watch for the buck, and I highly recommend amazon to get your Luxury Timepieces for the price they offer (avoid the mall and MSRP). Forget abut the warranty, good watches don't need it.
