Omega on Top Gear.

[inLine4]

Last season Jeremy Clarkson wears a 42mm PO on rubber. Now he is back with the XL version on rubber.

I saw an episode today and he was wearing an XL Railmaster on a brown strap. Nice...

[veidtadrian]

I think in some of the earlier (more recent) seasons he is definitely wearing a PAM With a california dial (249?)

May and Hammond are great though I think some of Mr. Clarksons' comments are a bit too offensive at times!

Clarkson is a WIS.

I clocked him wearing a Railmaster as well as many others.

Hammond favors a Rolex Sub, but sometimes wears other watches including Breitling.

I think Captain Slow wears a Glashutte. Might be wrong though.

Clarkson is an Omega man.... And he hates Rolex..... Apparently :-)

Correct.

He wrote about that in Sunday Times about a year ago.

From Sunday Times...

And this brings me neatly onto the question of watches. For some time now I’ve been on the hunt for a new one but the choice is tricky. I couldn’t have a Breitling because I don’t own an Audi. I couldn’t have a Calvin Klein because they are pants, I couldn’t have a Gucci because I’m not a footballist’s wife, I couldn’t have a TW Steel because my wrist isn’t big enough to sport something that can be seen from space, I couldn’t have a Tissot because I’m not eight and the only thing in the world worse than a fake Rolex is a real one.

Have you noticed something odd about Rolexes? Especially the modern ones that wind automatically when you move your wrist about? A great many owners wear them on their right hand. I jump to no conclusions here but you can feel free.

Mostly, though, I cannot wear any of these watches because I am an Omega man. I have worn a Seamaster for years, not because James Bond has one and not because Neil Armstrong wore something by the same maker on the moon but because on the day I went away to school my parents gave me a Genève Dynamic.

The trouble is that for the past few years Omega has been the Pillsbury dough of Swiss watches. The Terry and June. Omegas were dreary. They were boring to behold. They were Vectras in a world of Ferraris and Lamborghinis. The De Ville Prestige, for example, was plainly designed by someone who had a black-and-white telly.

This filled me with despair. I wanted a watch. For the same reasons that I bank at Barclays and wear Levi’s, it had to be an Omega, and it just wasn’t coming up with the goods. It was like Leeds United. Once the home of Peter Lorimer and Gary Sprake but now an also-ran bunch of unimaginative clod-hopping no-hopers.

And then one day, in Hong Kong, I saw it. A new Omega. It’s called the Railmaster and it is a thing of unparalleled beauty. There is no button that owners think will call for help if they find themselves in a crashing helicopter on Kilimanjaro, it is not waterproof to 8,000 metres, there is no stopwatch, there is no swivelling bezel to tell you how much air you have left in your tanks and you even have to wind it up every morning or it will stop. Plainly this is a watch for the sedentary soul. The man with no hang glider or mini sub in his garage. I bought it in an instant.

Clarkson has used this line more than once.

"...and the only thing in the world worse than a fake Rolex is a real one."

Too bad Clarkson's PO fell apart.
