It is so popular that...

...still many potential buyers ask for it, in any of its encarnations (Bond Quartz, Mid Bond, Mini bond for ladies, you name it), independently from the existence of the all-new medieval-swords models.

At least, it is the direct feedback that I get from the guys that distribute Omega nationwide, in my country (Venezuela). I also got the EXACT same feedback from an authorized dealer in the Miami International airport before asking for the... well, the Quartz Mini bond. My wife wants one, to match her wedding present (my Bond SMP). Can you believe it? Probably it is a tendency in Latin America, and not the rest of the planet.

Also, this may be happening because the Bond proposal strongly appeals to many young people (between 25 and 35. The newest Seamasters seem to have very good acceptance among people that are 40+).

Good luck with your choice,

Ferenc
