Omega Speedmaster X-33 Skywalker Solar Impulse: Unboxing Review

Omega Speedmaster X-33 Skywalker Solar Impulse [318.92.45.79.03.001] Macro Photo In Black Box © 2016 blog.thewatchsource.co.uk ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Initially when opening the box for the Omega X-33 Skywalker Solar Impulse (ref. 318.92.45.79.03.001). I was a little apprehensive: this, is a quartz movement watch, from a company that increasingly wants to be seen as a truly luxury brand, by making more mechanical watches. The bright green and blue colours are strong and catch the eye, but lacks a little sophistication in my option. But overtime it’s a design that has grown on me. The casing is built from dark looking grade 2 titanium with an excellent matte brush finish, which maintains its crispness around stylistic detailing, and reminds the wearer of its status as a tool watch. It is a comfortable 45mm wide with two buttons on either side of the face keeping multiple lines of strong symmetry.
