subject: Omega Watches In Canada- Built For Life [print this page] The common question about Omega watches in Canada is if they are worth the thousands of dollars in price tag? Owners of luxury watches know the value of high-end and sophisticated watches but most people couldnt seem to grasp the concept of paying too much on a piece of timepiece. So this article will try to explain why.
Built to last
According to its website, the Omega guarantees the repair and spare parts for its timepieces for at least 20 years. That type of warranty is unprecedented and is a testament of how it values its products. The common belief that each watch built by the Swiss company is built to last has in fact some basis as there are several watches that are still in tip-top condition even 40-50 years after they were rolled out and have since been handed down from one generation to the next. This premium quality standard and durability justify the Omega watches prices.
The movements of this luxury watch are carefully monitored to follow the companys stringent standards. The precision of the movement means a variation of between -0.5 and +0.7 seconds each day. In contrast, watches without chronometer authenticity have precision variations of between -1/+11 seconds per day.
Three types of finishes
Expensive watches are built according to each type of finishes: you have the basic finish which refers to the factory line manufacturing where each part of the process is automated. This also happens to be the cheapest line. You can buy Movado watches on this price range. Then you have the machine finish, which is a variation of some mechanical manufacturing and hand finishing. They also feature sophisticated complications and can fetch between $1,000 to $10,000. Finally, you have hand finishing, which can fetch upwards of $12,000 because of the intricate process of manufacturing. The expensive price of these watches can be explained by the unique value of each jewelry. Hand-finishes mean no timepieces are exactly alike even if they are rolled out from the same factory.
Not just a watch
You can make an argument that buying a branded shirt will not make much difference than buying a non-branded one, other than the hefty price tag. But you cant make the same argument with Omega watches in Canada. Each timepiece carries with it a long-time tradition, fashioned by the best craftsmen, and adorned with precious metals. And because Omega watches are built to last, they make a good investment as you can pass them on to your children and grandchildren as heirlooms.
