A diamond wedding with Omega

Business Times25-07-2025
DIAMONDS ARE A GIRL'S BEST friend, so they say. Omega would agree, with its range of sparkling timepieces that are perfect for a bride's wrist, or anyone with an eye for tasteful bling.
The bridegroom isn't left out, either, with the new 38 mm Railmaster an ideal fit for the special occasion. Whichever the bridal couple chooses, these bejewelled watches are sure to be a perfect match.

De Ville Tresor
With a ring of diamonds around its bezel, any bride will have trouble taking her eyes off the elegant De Ville Tresor, even if the watch sits on a comparatively large stainless steel case.
In line with the Tresor aesthetic, the case is slim and sophisticated, which makes it look smaller than its 40 mm measurement. The case frames a domed, blue patterned dial with a date window at 6 o'clock, as well as hands and indexes in 18-karat white gold. The watch is worn with a matching blue leather strap.
Housed within the De Ville Tresor is the Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8910 – a fitting replacement for the legendary 30 mm movement that has powered the Tresor collection since it was launched in 1949.
Calibre 8910 is certified by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS) as the industry's highest standard of precision, chronometric performance and magnetic resistance.

De Ville Prestige
This classic and elegant stainless steel watch flaunts a diamond-studded bezel in a range of patterns, finishes and colours to suit every taste and lifestyle.
The 30 mm case is graced with a PVD blue dial with a sun-brushed finish. Time on the dial is displayed by rhodium-plated hands, as well as alternating numerals and diamond markers.
A timeless collection since 1994, the De Ville Prestige is now in its third generation. The pure look of the watch is completed by a dotted minute track on the inner zone, and a full case-back embossed with a Gold Chronos medallion.
This timepiece is presented on a stainless steel bracelet and is driven by the Omega Quartz Calibre 4061, which has a battery life of at least 48 months.
Price: S$10,750

Constellation
The stainless steel and 18-karat Sedna gold timepiece features 11 diamond hour markers, with the 6 o'clock mark replaced by a date window. And unlike the De Ville Tresor and Prestige, which feature diamond bezels, this watch showcases a Sedna gold bezel engraved with Roman numerals.
The bezel crowns a 39 mm Sedna gold case, which houses an opaline white silvery dial. The Constellation star as well as the diamond holders on the dial are all in Sedna gold.
The case and 'mono-rang' stainless steel bracelet spotlight the dramatic and timeless design of the Constellation, characterised by its half-moon 'claws'.
Beating at the heart of the timepiece is the METAS-certified Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8800, visible through the domed scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
Price: S$19,050

Seamaster Aqua Terra
This petite and slim mechanical timepiece in stainless steel and 18-karat Moonshine gold is decorated with 46 diamonds on a polished bezel and 11 diamond hour markers. One of the 12 latest models in the Aqua Terra, it's the first to come in a 30 mm symmetrical polished case with a wave-edged design on its screw-in case-back.
It features a mother-of-pearl dial in full glossy finish, with a circular date window at 6 o'clock. Apart from the diamond hour markers, the dial has redesigned faceted hands, with the minute hand tapering to a delicate point.
All the applied elements are in Moonshine gold, while the hands are crafted in 18-karat yellow gold with a PVD Moonshine gold coating. The hands are also coated with white Super-LumiNova, which emits a blue glow.
As part of the ocean-inspired Seamaster line, the Aqua Terra 30 mm is both dressy and sporty. It is powered by the METAS-certified Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8750.
The watch is paired with an integrated stainless steel and Moonshine gold bracelet with beautifully rounded polished-brushed links, a foldover butterfly clasp, and Omega's easy comfort-adjustment system.
Price: S$25,850
The new Railmaster sports a brown dial with a dark gradient. PHOTO: OMEGA
Railmaster
The Railmaster makes a comeback with new colour gradients and an updated design.
The timepiece was first rolled out for railway workers in 1957, along with the Speedmaster and the Seamaster. Forming a trilogy known as the Professional Line, it marked an era of important progress in science and exploration.
Like the Railmaster, the first Speedmaster was in turn designed for racing car drivers, and the Seamaster 300 for ocean divers.
The anti-magnetic Railmaster was especially suitable for engineers, industrialists and scientists working around railway lines. An inner protective case made the watch resistant to magnetic fields of up to 1,000 gauss, which ensured reliable precision in timekeeping for these professionals. Most anti-magnetic timepieces then offered protection of only around 60 gauss.
The Railmaster line has remained a favourite among Omega fans for its vintage style and working-class heritage. Its brushed and polished symmetrical case and integrated bracelet, which includes an easy comfort setting as well as brushed and polished links, are in keeping with the DNA of the first Railmaster.
While this new model sports a brown dial with a dark gradient, it retains the easy-to-read display of the earlier models, which include large numerals and hour markers in vintage Super-LumiNova.
This watch continues the Railmaster's legacy of anti-magnetism, courtesy of the METAS-certified Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8804. The movement is resistant to magnetism up to 15,000 gauss and can be viewed through the transparent sapphire crystal on the case-back.

MoonSwatch gets new Snoopy version with the Mission to Earthphase MoonShine Gold

Swatch and Omega's MoonSwatch collection has been wildly popular since its debut, with so many variants released that it's hard to keep score. But the rarest of all MoonSwatches (and perhaps most coveted) are possibly the Snoopy versions. So far, only two have been released – the all-white Mission to the Moonphase Full Moon and the all-black Mission to the Moonphase New Moon. And now, Swatch has unveiled a new Snoopy release, available exclusively on Aug 9. The new Mission to Earthphase Moonshine Gold features an adorable illustration of Snoopy and his best pal Woodstock sitting on the Moon, marvelling at the Earthphase complication. An Omega and Swatch invention, the Earthphase feature shows the phases of Earth as if you were standing on the moon. The date of the release is meant to coincide with the full Sturgeon Moon. It gets its name from the month when the sturgeon fish, a large freshwater fish, is most readily caught. The watch also features a moonphase indicator at the 2 o'clock subdial featuring two radiant full moons, one designed in the distinctive Snoopy style and the other draped in a net-like pattern as a subtle nod to the sturgeon inspiration. Both are coated with Omega's proprietary Moonshine Gold. In all, it's a good-looking watch, rendered in dark navy blue to evoke the endless depths of space and paired with a navy rubber strap. To mimic the twinkling expanse of space, this MoonSwatch is dusted with glittering sparkly blue aventurine across several details – from the minute track, hands, inside the earth and moonphase complications, plus the outer ring of the subdial at 6 o'clock. The watch also boasts several iconic features of Omega's legendary Speedmaster Moonwatch, including an asymmetrical case and distinctive, recessed Speedmaster subdial. There's also a secret message embedded within – shine a UV light on the Snoopy illustration and a quote saying 'I beat everybody…' pops up, which comes from a Peanuts comic strip in which Snoopy brags about being the first beagle to land on the lunar surface of the moon. Priced at S$535, the new Mission to Earthphase Moonshine Gold will be available only on Aug 9 at select Swatch stores. Only one watch can be purchased per person, per store.

MoonSwatch Collection adds MOONSHINE GOLD featuring the latest earth phase innovation, available 9 August

Blending Snoopy's imaginative universe with celestial innovation, the MISSION TO EARTHPHASE — MOONSHINE GOLD is the latest addition to MoonSwatch Collection that celebrates what happens when imagination takes flight. Image courtesy of Swatch. Featuring Swatch's latest earth phase innovation, a moon phase indicator adorned with OMEGA's Moonshine™ Gold and illustrations from the world of Snoopy, this is an exclusive timepiece not to be missed. Like all models in the Bioceramic MoonSwatch Collection, MISSION TO EARTHPHASE – MOONSHINE GOLD is crafted using Bioceramic, featuring a distinctive dark navy blue, that was created exclusively for this collection. It also includes many of the iconic features of OMEGA's legendary Speedmaster Moonwatch, such as the asymmetrical case and distinctive, recessed Speedmaster subdial. Image courtesy of Swatch. Similar to the moon phases, the earth phases follow a 29.5-day cycle, but in reverse — when there's a full moon, we see a new earth, and when there's a new moon, we will find a full earth. This relationship causes the earth on the earth phase to move counterclockwise, opposite to the direction of the moon on the moon phase indicator. Beneath the earth phase indicator, you'll find is an illustration of Snoopy, joined by his ever-loyal friend and frequent co-pilot, Woodstock, alongside a phrase that appears only under UV light, and acts as a playful nod to the pioneering spirit of the Moonwatch, the first watch on the Moon. At the 2 o'clock subdial, the timepiece showcases a moon phase indicator with two radiant full moons coated with OMEGA's Moonshine™ Gold. Image courtesy of Swatch. In addition to the features, you'll also find both the OMEGA X Swatch logos are displayed on its dial and crown, as well as its mission statement engraved on the back of its case, a battery cover with an Earth-inspired design, and a navy VELCRO® rubber strap. The Swatch MISSION TO EARTHPHASE – MOONSHINE GOLD is priced at $535 and will be exclusively available at Swatch stores worldwide only on 9 August. As with the whole Bioceramic MoonSwatch Collection, only one watch can be purchased per person, and per store.
