After all, no watch company can survive on the sales to Omega Seamaster 300 M Quartz 2221.80.00 Mens Watch -nerds alone (save super haute horology firms). We wore the Turbine around town doing what we normally do. This includes lunch in our neighborhood, a stop at FedEx, a quick trip to the Bank, coffee and work at an outdoor cafe, and of course a drink or two.What was most incredible to us was how many people stopped to ask us about it. Literally no other watch we've tested received as many comments (except for maybe the Enzo Mechana, but that was only because it's like wearing a Buick on your wrist). Jamie at FedEx loved it, Frank at the bank stopped me mid-signature to inquire about it. While sitting outside at a cafe with my laptop, an Italian couple (both wearing vintage Rolexes) kept glancing at my wrist so I finally struck up a conversation and let them both try it on.
Consider BaselWorld 2009 the coming out party for Swiss Omega Seamaster 300 M Quartz 2221.80.00 Mens Watch brand Perrelet. Perrelet has been around for a few years now, but were relatively under the radar. Named after Abraham-Louis Perrelet, watchmaker to the king of France and inventor of the automatic movement, they have been some high-quality and handsome watches since their sale in 2004 to Festina Group owner Miguel Rodriguez. But to make headway in the crowded world of luxury Swiss watches, a breakout model is needed, a watch that demands appreciation and interest from watch-fans and non-watchfans alike. Enter the Turbine at BaselWorld 2009.Images of the Turbine made the rounds everywhere back then; watch blogs, fashion blogs, gear blogs, and everywhere in between. We refrained from reporting on the Turbine until we could get our hands on it, which brings us to today. This past week we were lent a prototype Turbine to wear for a few days. What do we have to say about it? To summarize, this is the breakout watch that most brands only dream of.We know that the Turbine is a well made watch, with its in-house P-181 automatic Double Rotor movement, so instead of asking our Omega Seamaster 300 M Quartz 2221.80.00 Mens Watch -nerd buddies what they thought of it, we thought we'd see what "normal" people think of it.
