Review of Omega speed master GMT Solar Impulse HB-SIA watch

the Omega speed master GMT Solar Impulse HB-SIA clock is actually not a completely new Omega watch, when it appeared first in the BASELWORLD 2008. But one has published most interesting and unusual speed master watches, Omega in these years is safe.

As we know, Omega was the support of the "solar impulse" comes project out, with one of the first solar plane.The Polar means solar plane impulse HB-SIA a lot in this world before serious use shortage.To tribute to this aircraft is the Omega watch named after him. And this is one of the reasons behind I call an unusual speed master clock.

Another reason is that it the first Omega speed master is made of titanium watch. This easy and hard material is produced as a world-class metal industry titanium 44.25 mm chassis, bracelet and Crown and press are considered buttons all of grade 2. The third point is unusual that the clock shows a very nice looking carbon fibre dial that is protected by a Sapphire Crystal with AR coating.

Beating in this nice looking clock is exclusive Omega calibre 3603, a reliable COSC certified chronometer with 55 hour power reserve. This automatic movement has Omegas with co-axial suspension and wheel based column chronograph complication equipped. It features Chronograph, GMT, and a date display. The GMT pointer is independently adjustable while it can also easily set by the Crown.

The layout of the clock is nothing special, a very classic speed master. Nevertheless, we find some interesting details about the Omega watch. The font of the numbers is very futuristic. I love the GMT equipped with a tiny planet. Be sure and notice the conspicuous orange "HB-SIA" inscription, the the name of the aircraft - Hotel Bravo Solar Impulse Alpha.The bezel will also features "total station base 1000" in hallenden orange.
