Product Description
The Bauhaus movement—a design aesthetic spawned in 1920s Germany that preaches simplicity, geometric congruity, and functionality—has proven that it’s here to stay. For proof, look no further than the enduring popularity of Bauhaus-style timepieces Read More
I was going to mention that one too, but for another thousand Omega will toss in a Sapphire crystal and I know for a fact, that's the one @Calaverasgrande would have opted for anyway--like me, he's a semi-purist!
99% of complaints summed up here: No sapphire at this price point is ridiculous. No warranty is ridiculous. Amazon sells it for 20.00 more with immediate shipping and a warranty, so what's the point of buying it on here? I love this watch, but I'm not biting until the price is 400 or below.
michaelnIt can't be 400 or below. 500 to 600 is a good and fair price, since in Amazon, someone is selling it for $700 with warranty and no waiting time.
wonbulPolyWatch won't work on these, sadly, as they're a specially-coated acrylic that is scratch-resistant but, once scratched, not able to be repaired with PolyWatch (or other home remedies). The acrylic crystal really looks era- and shape-appropriate on this and, as you say, it's a dress watch, so the hardiness of sapphire is unnecessary. I am not delicate with mine and have had no problems.
mcmcI've had the chronograph (Chronoscope) version of this watch in regular rotation for almost 3 years. The crystal is still immaculate. I work in an office environment but do have the occasional collision with hard objects. It seems hardy enough for normal wear. Don't know if they have some old IWC magicians (the factories are about an hour and 20 minutes apart) breath on the movements, but it's one of the most accurate watches I own. It definitely looks vintage with little to identify it as a modern watch. Not for everyone but neither are my 1950s vintage Omegas.
