Omegamania

A Greek letter “Omega" became the symbol of the famous Swiss brand long ago and today it is known worldwide. That’s why the première of 2005 –Omegamania collection- can be called one of the most long-awaited. Not many companies can boast of the possibility to create of a watch-case or a piece of jewellery in the shape of its symbol. As far as the watch is concerned no picture can reflect the fascination of the combination of the mother-of-pearl dial, salient multisided crystal and the shining letter “Omega” made of white and yellow gold and diamonds.
