Omega manufacturing

[brandrea]

Now we know …

Omega outsources bracelets and clasps from “carefully selected external suppliers who meet Omega’s high-quality standards” sourced from “mainly European countries”.

The question I have for the Omega community and in my specific case, owners of the 321 Ed White …

Does this change the way you “feel” about your Omega timepiece?

When I bought my 321 a couple of years ago it was a highly emotional purchase. Of course much has been written about the 321. The history, the lengths that Omega went to recreate the movement, the hand assembly in Bienne etc etc.

Separate from this is of course the “ price” which has been a much debated aspect of this reference and one I’ve defended.

Realizing everyone has their own reasons for owning any given reference, does the fact that Omega does not manufacture its own bracelets and claps (especially on a reference of this stature and price point) change how you feel about ownership?

Whether you own a 321 or another Omega, I’m interested in the conversation.
