: Well, the Labor Day holiday weekend is over. For
: those of you outside the USA, the purpose of this US
: holiday is like most US holidays -- to give millions of
: people the day off to go shopping. This not only boosts the
: economy here, ensuring the need for labor for the rest of
: the year, it also causes people to incur enough debt that
: they HAVE to labor for the rest of the year! This keeps the
: whole country from simply shutting down before the end of
: the year.
: My contribution to the economic health of the country this
: year included buying another Omega! Not that I had planned
: to just yet. But sometimes these things just happen. Even
: more to my surprise, I became enamored with a... no, not
: another Seamaster... no, not that new Split-Second
: Speedmaster I'd been eyeing... no, not even that neat
: Constellation chronograph... this time it was a DeVille
: that reeled me in!!
: Yes, a DeVille Prestige Chronometer in stainless steel.
: Beautiful dressy watch, no fancy functions, solid Omega
: automatic chronometer movement like in many of the current
: Seamaster and Constellations, and the enduring classic
: style that goes back as far as Omega itself. The photograph
: to the left does not do justice to the sparkle and
: reflectiveness of the highly polished steel finish. In
: normal lighting, the satin finish on the dial has a soft
: glow with the hands reflecting darker -- making an even
: more appealing contrast.
: One of the particularly winning features for me is another of
: Omega's fantastic watch bracelets -- almost as fascinating
: as the watch itself. You may not immediately notice, but
: the link pattern curves to match the roundness of the
: watch.
