Omega's Speedmaster counts as one of the watches that set the gold standard when it comes to chronographs. With the new generation of this iconic watch, you can take this quite literally, as Omega not only launched it in stainless steel but also in two colors gold. This is quite unique, as the Speedmaster Professional hasn't been available in gold since 2012.

As a brand, Omega has no shortage of pedigree. Both the Seamaster and the Speedmaster have been around for decades while enjoying continuous success. While these are the collections that often grab the headlines, the brand also has a third success story, as the Constellation enjoys an equally rich and long heritage. It has always been a watch that offered a sense of elegance with a sportive touch. This became especially true when in 1982, Omega introduced the bezel with the four claws, which have grown to become a signature feature of the Constellation. Now Omega is adding even more flavor to this collection with new gentleman's models.

Watches don't get any more professional than the Omega Speedmaster, the first watch worn on the moon. Gold might not be an obvious choice to craft such a watch from, but the result is surprisingly elegant when you do. This is most certainly the case with the two new models that Omega recently introduced. With a diameter of 38mm are they slightly smaller than their 'professional' sibling, but still have plenty of wrist presence. They also combine elegance with practical use, as is evident from, for example, the bezel. It is split into two parts, one made from aluminum with a tachymeter scale on it, and the other set with 90 brilliant-cut diamonds.

In one year this month, Omega will once again take up timekeeping responsibilities at the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, and the luxury watchmakers are celebrating the excitement with the unveiling of a special edition of its iconic Seamaster Planet Ocean timepiece. The Seamaster Planet Ocean “Sochi 2014” watches will be produced in versions for both men […]
