Baselworld 2011: Omega Hour Vision Blue

Good watch, Great Cause

The OMEGA Hour Vision Blue wristwatch is a special edition of the Hour Vision watch, part of Omegas De Ville collection. The Hour Vision is a neat watch because the beauty of the movement is visible through the sapphire crystal case back as well as through sapphire glass apertures in the side of the watch case (see close-up photo below). TheHour Vision Blue is also special because it is produced in support of ORBIS Internationals fight against preventable blindness in developing countries (see Did You Know below). I applaud OMEGA for its commitment to donate a minimum of a million dollars to ORBIS International over the next four years. Kudos to OMEGA Ambassador Daniel Craig who is also involved in the effort.
