New Co-Axials -- New Information

I had some time to kill while in London on assignment, so I stopped by "the other big department store" to ogle, once again, the Co-Axial Skeleton (9/33) they have on display (big drool). Started chatting with a VERY knowledgeable sale rep. who proceeded to give me a peek at a new piece of Co-Axial hard cover sales literature he just picked up from Omega at a dealers only show.

In it there are three different calibers of Co-Axial that Omega told him will be released in March:

1. Standard
2. GMT Complication
3. Power Reserve Complication

All will come in SS or Gold, Strap or Bracelet. The Bracelet is a replica of the 1950s Brick Style Bracelet with what look to be (hard to tell from the photos) screw style links (rather than pin). Also, the case back will be engraved with Omega's vintage style winged logo.

With all the variety, this clearly to be a major campaign from Omega. Entry price point around 1,800 Pounds Sterling (Incl. VAT). The photos looked terrific. The book is also a must have (photos, Co-Axial history & illustrated tutorial, Omega history, etc.) and should be available when the watches are released.

He went on to tell me that the watches will be slightly thicker than the Limited Edition Co-Axials due in part to thicker movements (he thought a more robust rotor).

Bottom line.... Save you money!!!
