Vintage Omega Watch

William Gregor discovered this metal in Cornwall, England in 1791 and today it is alloyed with other metals to produce lightweight yet strong equipment and gadgets including the Omega titanium watch.

Sometimes referred to as the "space age metal," it has a lustrous silver color, low density. It is strong and corrosion as well as dent resistant. These qualities have made it an excellent material for a wide range of applications, including:
• aerospace
• military
• industrial processes
• automotive
• agri-food
• medical prostheses
• orthopedic/dental implants
• sporting goods
• mobile phones
• jewelry

An Omega titanium watch, like the strong and powerful Titans of Greek mythology after whom the metal is named, is considered an equally strong and powerful gadget that could be used in the harshest of environments. The models that feature casings made from this material can be used in salt water areas without fear of corrosion. Some are even water resistant up to 1000 feet.

Models that utilize this space age metal are the:
• seamaster racing chronometer
• seamaster 300 m chronometer
• speedmaster solar impulse
• seamaster 300 m chrono diver
• constellation double eagle chrono

These feature either a black or black carbon fiber dial, and the bracelet could be of the same metal or rubber. Functions include, among others, chronograph, chronometer, and tachymeter. Unfortunately for the ladies, only men's models are available at the moment.
