In the global market, Omax watches have established themselves as good products at an affordable price. They are not deprived of attention in the CIS countries. What explains the popularity of this brand when it appeared and what interesting models there are? Read on to find out the answers to these questions.
Brand history
Omax Watch was founded in 1946 in Geneva (Switzerland). She positioned herself as a manufacturer of luxury automatic and mechanical watches. But over time, she changed her profile.
In the middle of the 20th century, when the company took its first steps in the global market, Swiss watches were delivered to the countries of the Middle East, and now Omax watches are sold on 5 continents and in 66 countries.
With growing interest in Japanese mechanics, the company began a partnership with Seiko Instruments. In 1985, her management moved to Dubai, production - to China, and the production of modern male and female models began. The Russian consumer met them in the early 90s, after the collapse of the USSR. Prior to this, Omax could only be bought from sailors and other persons who had the opportunity to travel abroad. Given the strict legislation regarding speculation, this was quite problematic.
Today, Omax watches are predominantly quartz watches at an affordable price, which are suitable for every day and exit.
Every year about 50 new products appear in the lineup that meet the latest fashion trends.
Omax watches have an accurate Japanese movement, which is supplied by Time Module (owned by Seiko Epson). Its deviation per month is no more than 20 seconds.
The factory battery life is approximately 4 years.
Most models have a 2 year warranty.
Fashionable design
It’s not enough for watches to be precise and durable, their appearance plays a significant role. Omax collaborates with young designers who offer interesting new models, but do not forget the classics. For the convenience of customers there are two watch lines. The first - Omax Quartz - is a watch with a strict and concise design, the second is Omax Crystal - a watch for people who are not afraid to attract attention. There are classic, sports collections, as well as chronographs. Bracelets are also different - from stainless steel, plastic or leather, made in strict usual dark colors, and bright. The manufacturer takes into account fashion trends and boasts options with a case and bracelet in fashionable color "pink gold".
Watches are made not only from traditional materials, but also from brass, zinc alloys with aluminum and plastic.
What do customers say about Omax watches?
Reviews say that the original Swiss models of 70-80 years of release can boast of very high quality, which can not be said about modern ones. Due to their very affordable price, the quality of the watch is no more than average, periodically the brand is reproached for copying designs of other manufacturers. Omax's reputation is seriously damaged by the cheap counterfeit products found in the markets. Regarding them, it is useless to talk about quality, although the cost is often not very different from the price of the original.
Interesting models
Omax men's watch called Riley boasts a classic design that is appropriate in everyday life and at special occasions. Made of stainless steel, mineral glass, strap - made of leather with an embossed pattern. On the dial there is a window for the date.
The Wilson Minimalist model lives up to its name, it has a strict laconic design that allows the cold shine of polished steel to show its best.
Cameron is a watch with a bright and catchy design. A double row of numbers, a window for the date and, of course, a contrasting black bezel, as on diving models. But the latter is simply a snag, and diving in this watch is not worth it - they are designed for swimming maximum.
The line of female models is much more modest than male ones. But among them there are interesting specimens. For example, the Abigail model is made in a beautiful chocolate shade, with rhinestones on the dial.
Isabelle is a golden watch with Roman markings. And Charlotte is an elegant two-tone model.
All women's watches, as well as men's Riley watches, have a low level of moisture protection, they withstand contact with spray and rain, but you should not bathe or take a shower in them.
