Style Edit: Omega’s landmark moments of the year – so far

Omega’s winning watches – and one of its symbolic golden astronaut statues – can now be seen in remodelled splendour at its Wynn Macau boutique, sat on a prime spot of terra firma, next to the resort hotel’s crowd-pulling Rotunda Atrium. Lavishly redesigned interiors showcasing the brand pillars of timeless elegance, innovation and contemporary artistry have an abundance of space. The luxury extends to a lounge for personalised consultations and a bar proffering refreshments.

Plush carpets, gleaming marble, wood panels and cabinets, and signature red and gold accents tell a refined story, while showpiece chandeliers recall the pendulums of old clocks. But it is the collections within that truly illuminate the Swiss watchmaker’s groundbreaking explorations of time.

Another of Omega’s landmark years came in 1957 with the debuts of a trilogy of timekeeping giants: the Speedmaster, originally designed for racing drivers; the Railmaster for train drivers and conductors; and the Seamaster 300M for divers. In a sign of the house’s commitment to its marques, Omega released new editions as part of the latter two lines just this year.

The first Railmaster boasted a magnetic resistance of up to 1,000 gauss, ensuring precision while working around electrical currents. Today’s new 38mm models in steel, powered by the Co-Axial Master Chronometer calibre 8806, or calibre 8804 with a small seconds function, offer 15 times the antimagnetic chops.

The vintage good looks have been retained, delivered in a restrained grey or beige dial with a black gradient, accompanied by the choice of a redesigned bracelet or a leather strap, in a strong black or golden brown respectively.
