Omega 'Stuff'

I'll start the ball rolling by posting some freebies I got during a visit to the Omega Museum in Biel after Baselworld this year...

First up, a hardback 'Omega the collection' catalogue, complete with official price list.
It runs through all watches available grouped by sub-brand with some history and technical description thrown in.
287700CHF for the platinum tourbillon pictured in case anyone's wondering

Next the 'Omega Lifetime' magazine.
This one is the Spectre edition and was a favourite with my kids.
Reasonably good articles on aston martins, the stars, real spy/assasin weapons, clothes, cocktails, set design and an article on all the Omega watches used in Bond movies. Most interesting was some history on the seamaster used by the SBS and the origins of the NATO strap.
And all with no adverts - except Omega product placement everywhere - which suits me

Probably the strangest freebie at the Omega Museum was a game!
The very friendly staff asked if my kids liked watches and that they were lucky to visit at the moment as they had some spare games.
Out came this trivia game for up to 4 players and hours of fun of competitive WIS Dads thrashing their kids at obscure watch facts can entail
Solid Sedna gold counters were very generous for a freebie. ;-)

Love the snowglobe - essential watch accessory!

Here's one more from my trip - a quick snap of the Omega HQ from across the road in the Museum.

So I finally purchased my first Omega (I felt like a bit of a fraud hanging out here without one ;-) ).
I was expecting it to come in a red leather box I see so often in posts, but to my surprise it came in a really nice wooden box:

My biggest disappointment?

No free snowglobe :-(

...Rosebud.
