: Hi, I have just been looking through "Classic Rock" a
: magazine we have here in the uk. In it there is a feature on
: Tubular Bells composer Mike Oldfield. There is a large pic with
: him in his elaborate home studio. Guess what he has on his
: wrist? A Speedy Pro with a crocodile strap! Seems that timeless
: music requires a timeless watch!!! Wonder if Omega know abotu
: this surruptitious product placement?
: Regards Joseph
No they probably dont know. Omega get big kicks out of product placements, take James Bond and the moon landings for example. another company that bangs on about placements is Heuer.We are bombarded with images of Monaco's addorning the wrist of Mr Mcqueen,but in truth he only wore the watch once for the film Le mans.His favourite watch he wore for at least ten years was the Rolex submariner.Daniel Craig too only wears An Omega whilst as Bond.He also prefers Rolex.
