Not long ago, Omega announced that Liu Shishi has officially become its new Omega celebrity ambassador. What is worn on the wrist is the Omega Constellation Series Zhizhen Observatory Small Second Watch. This watch is also made by Omega for women. The first Observatory ladies watch.

   Looking back at the history of Omega’s watchmaking, from the earliest women’s watches in 1906 to the now-conspicuous constellation series to the Observatory’s small seconds watch, all show Omega’s enthusiasm and pursuit for the manufacture of women’s watches, and It is rooted in the essence of the Omega brand from beginning to end.

   The 27mm models of the Constellation Chronometer Observatory’s small seconds watch feature a white mother-of-pearl dial (model: 127.55.27.20.55.002) set with 10 diamond hour markers. There are a total of eight models to choose from, all of which are certified by the Astronomical Observatory, equipped with the Omega 8704 or 8705 coaxial to the Astronomical Observatory movement, antimagnetic performance of 15,000 Gauss, far ahead of the industry level. It is also the first women’s watch to be certified by both the Swiss Official Observatory and the Observatory.

   In terms of appearance design, the watch inherits the classic ‘claw’ design of the Omega Constellation series. This model is made of eight yellow gold watches. The bezel is made of yellow 18K gold and set with fine diamonds.

   The crown is made of yellow 18K gold, and the top of the crown is embossed with the Omega Logo ‘Ω’.

   The matte yellow 18K gold chain link is connected by the bracelet of the polished yellow 18K gold chain bar, and the Omega Logo ‘Ω’ is decorated on the buckle.

   The overall design of the dial is exquisite and exquisite. The white mother-of-pearl dial uses the thickest part of the mother-of-pearl, reflecting unique cloud effects at different angles, showing a long-lasting and charming posture. A calendar window is set at 6 o’clock, a small second hand at 9 o’clock, and 4 diamond second hand scales set around the periphery create a dynamic rhythm of the constellation series. At the hour scale, 10 delicate diamonds are set. Multiple diamonds are set on such a small mother-of-pearl dial, which also shows the excellent craftsmanship.

   The watch’s Omega 8705 movement is made of non-ferromagnetic materials such as silicon hairsprings, so it does not require a sealed anti-magnetic protective cover to block the magnetic field. This is exactly the beauty of the movement’s precise operation through the transparent case back, the Arabian-style Geneva corrugated decoration and the non-stop two-way automatic winding system, which can be displayed in front of the wearer. Each Zenith Observatory movement is tested by the Swiss Official Observatory while undergoing high standards and strict tests by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS), including 8 key performance tests including antimagnetic performance. Not only the performance of the movement is tested individually, but also the fully assembled head.

In summary: behind the petite and exquisite figure of the Omega Constellation Series Zhenzhen Observatory’s small seconds watch, there is a powerful inner core that has stood the test of time. Just like modern women, they have a beautiful appearance and excellent internal content. This watch is currently on the market, with a suggested retail price of 184,200 RMB.

In 1913, Coco Chanel founded the famous luxury brand-Chanel in Paris, France. Chanel’s product line is very rich, whether it is clothing, shoes, bags, watches, jewelry, accessories, cosmetics, perfume, etc., each category has a unique style. The “fashion” that transcends the traditional concept has made this famous French luxury brand popular in the world for more than a century and has countless fans. Many young ladies and sisters also like to call this brand affectionately “Xiaoxiang”. Compared to traditional luxury brands, Chanel pays more attention to the experience of female users. It can even be said that this brand is created for female users. In the hearts of many female users, Chanel’s status is higher than LV and Gucci, and the brand effect is naturally self-evident. Just recently at the Barcelo Watch Show, Chanel released the new J12 watch, making it the focus of the audience. Prior to this, the Chanel J12 watch was hailed as ‘one of the most successful watches in the 21st century’. Such an evaluation is extremely high in the watchmaking industry. In my opinion, the success of the Chanel J12 watch is mainly reflected in the value of the brand and design. The design of the Chanel J12 is inspired by racing and sailing, which is also the lifelong love of Chanel’s former artistic director jacket. The combination of the America’s Cup win-winning General J12 sailing and classic racing elements has resulted in the world-famous Chanel J12 watch. Chanel’s new J12 watch still maintains its classic design. The all-ceramic case, bracelet, crown, and extensive use of precision ceramics are rare in the watchmaking industry. The combination of black and white is very good. The 38mm table diameter is for men and women. The ceramic outer ring looks clean and shiny. This is the ultimate simplicity that the brand advocates. The diameter of the crown has been reduced by a third, and it looks more refined. It is said that this design will make the winding texture better. The design still maintains the classic, but in terms of movement, Chanel’s new J12 watch can be described as a comprehensive innovation. Chanel’s new J12 watch is equipped with a self-produced movement developed by Kenissi movement factory for Chanel, named Caliber 12.1 self-winding movement, swing frequency of 28800 times / hour, power reserve of 70 hours A total of 191 parts, 28 jewel bearings, instant jump calendar, ball bearing automatic rotor, and COSC Observatory certification. From the above parameters, we can also find that today’s new Chanel J12 watch is not just a high-end “big-name fashion watch”. In terms of mechanical quality, it also has observatory-level accuracy and a long power reserve. . It is worth mentioning that the design of the oscillating weight also has the classic elements and lettering of Chanel. It can also be seen at a glance that this is a Chanel watch full of design sense. If you say, the essence of Chanel’s new J12 watch is the classic continuation and ‘core changing’ upgrade. Then in the automotive industry, the ‘core change’ of Mercedes-Benz’s new E-Class is a retrogression. Not long ago, Mercedes-Benz launched a new E260L model. In the traditional impression, the E260L should be equipped with a 2.0T medium and high power version of the engine. It is incredible that the new E260L model of the Mercedes-Benz uses a 1.5T turbocharger. Powertrain with 48V light hybrid system. From the book data alone, the power level of the new Mercedes-Benz E260L model is far worse than the previous Mercedes-Benz E200L model. Before the model change, the Mercedes-Benz E200L still used a 2.0T turbocharged engine. Although it is only a low-power tuning, but how? The sample is stronger than 1.5T. It can be seen that Mercedes-Benz’s new E260L, as the entry-level model of the current Mercedes-Benz E-Class, has indeed shrunk in terms of power. As a medium and large luxury car, Mercedes-Benz’s new E260L is equipped with a 1.5T engine, which is also the first time in its class. Even with a weaker engine and a smaller displacement engine, the price of the Mercedes-Benz E260L is still as high as 425,800-440,800 yuan. This will lead to a very realistic problem. The Mercedes-Benz’s new E260L will compete directly with the 2.0T version of the BMW 5 Series. As far as the powertrain is concerned, the Mercedes-Benz’s new E260L is in a complete defeat. This is also a lot of consumers giving up. Reasons for choosing the new Mercedes E260L. Over the years, Chanel has invested in many brands and watch factories, such as FPJ, Bell & Ross, Romain Gauthier and Kenissi movement factory. Because Chanel also knows that to establish a foothold in today’s watchmaking industry, brand and design alone are not enough, but a strong ‘inner core’ is also needed. With the introduction of Chanel’s new J12 watch, this watch is more ‘professional’ for those who know it. The same is the ‘core change’. The introduction of Mercedes-Benz’s new E260L is an obvious retrogression. For those who know it, it can only be a helpless abandonment. What do you think? (Text / Qiu Xiaozheng)
