From sea to space

SINGAPORE (Aug 20): A watchmaker that traverses the deep blue as nimbly as deep space had better be confident of the territories it navigates. Omega shows no qualms, evidently certain it will not be caught unprepared in its relationships with ocean or Moon.

Vast distance might separate them, but both are entities regarded with wonder by those bound to Earth. What science tells us of them does not remotely dispel their romance — instead, the more we discover and understand, the more magnificent their delicate yet dangerous environments appear to us. And then there are the gifts that inhabit the environment between sea and space; the bounties of Earth in all their sparkling splendour. Jewels retrieved and refined from exclusive mines are treated with reverence by Omega, which captures the blend of mysticism and realism of these subjects in exquisite timepieces.
