>>Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Watch With “Liquidmetal” Ceramic Bezel

Why on Earth Omega would call a ceramic bezel "Liquidmetal" is a mystery to me (see update below). It not only is ceramic not liquid, but it isn't a metal. Well, it is liquid-like when being formed, but you get the idea. Ceramic as used on watches is actually made from glass as I understand it. It used to be that most bezels on dive watches were made from aluminum. Not sure why that is, but it is still very common. One approach to "luxurize" the bezel was the Blancpain approach of doing a bezel with a sapphire crystal over it. This prevented the scratching that people hate. This is really the problem with aluminum. Sure you can replace the bezels. but it is a pain, and not something you want to do when paying a lot for a diver's watch. read more...
