There has been some excellent entries into the Omega line, the Basel Seamaster Chronograph “Race” with the column wheels have made their way to the case, and my personal favorite the new Aqua Terra GMT with the Omega caliber 8605 with the double barrels and the first of the 8500′series to sport the GMT function. The Race comes in at a modest 40mm and the Aqua Terra GMT a little more bold at 43mm. Both are excellent pick ups, and a great edition to any collection. Remember the jump in movement quality is quite substantial and the price points are in that range now also. The race is $4700.00 and the GMT is $7900.00, be good to your Valentine. CTWG
