    Not a new model - and forget the provocative title - but cool video: Omega De Ville Tourbillon 5910.30.01

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDhdByRc-es

    Call me shallow, but if I had the money to spare, I would get one.

    Good video, great watch, fair point, though one model isn't really enough. They could also mention things in modern mass production models like the AT with the 8500 movement - twin barrels, silicon balance, low-friction Co axial etc...

    They're watch sellers. I suppose the videos are just a way to show some pieces from their stock. Anyway, their photography is really good.

    oh-may-ga ?........................


    It's Oh-meega or Oh-Miga innit


    NIce looking watch, although there's way too much bezel

    and I'd only buy from someone who pronounced it Oh-miga or Oh-meega

    Actually, I've heard worse attempts. The accentuation should be on the first syllable.

    Why don't people just use the Google translator and listen to the audio? In this case, from Greek to English? Wait a minute......Google has some pronunciation problems...

    Nope.
    It's the same vowel as in eg 'megabyte'. You don't say meega-byte, no?
    Oh-meega is hurting my ears every time I hear it, and I hear it 99% of the time someone talks about Omega.
    (And 'ey' seems correct in AmE: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/omega).

    Edit:
    https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/.../english/omega
    https://www.macmillandictionary.com/.../british/omega
    I think this might be your 'Oh-Miga', provided that you stress the first syllable.

    I used to be a personal trainer. One day I noticed the logo on my client's pants and wondered when Omega started making clothing.
    Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
