Alpha Watch is a Chinese brand watch the Hong Kong holding company Unidesign Workshop began in 1993. The company is based in Hong Kong with a workshop in China. Alpha brand seems to be an export brand, and if they only sold to Chinese or Hong Kong markets believe that they have a different trade name. No Chinese brand to look Alpha. Company welcomes custom projects or purchasing a large order.
Alpha core line-up is "homage watches" - essentially a copy of the famous Swiss models, but called as Alpha instead of Rolex, Omega, Panerai, etc. The quality control range, but if you get a watch that works is considered an hour's worth the $ 50 - $ 100.

Luxury Watches Omega Replica Watches at Mode
Today about one hour with elegant and stylish look and see themselves as the first to catch this way. But the real side show that calls to make a pulse mode, the following trend for the last many years.
In the current fashion scenario, we have options and could choose an hour in our personality. But in recent years, when the rate at the slurry is taken, many manage with limited possibilities.
Talk about fashion trends for about 10 years ago, who would have thought that with a gold watch is a bad idea. Industry bigwigs Longines watch as use this opportunity and provided customers with a wide range of clocks, royal gold.
Continuing the conversation was a order change detected after five years. If you have a deep look at your last year, would you know how much a silver plated dial Omega Watches with a great drawing. Yes, it was hours long pieces by Fossil, Tag Heuer, etc. We say that this stage is nowhere now, but the change of anger we have seen in these years can be seen at the moment.
So what is the current situation however, we will say that this is an open status. Yes, we are open for most categories and even love at our trends to create. Currently there are a lot of companies to their success in the market. Here again we can add Rolex, who is making his clients achieve their wishes to the King. However, trends are not limited to Rolex if desired sporty appearance can also be obtained from hours of high-end brands such as Omega and Casio watches.Omega Luxury Watches Mode

Omega Coaxial Technology
Omega's introduction of the Co-Axial escapement in 1999 signaled the beginning of a revolution in innovation of escapement technology. Since this bold move by Omega, other watch companies have garnered the courage and resources to attempt their own improvements on the traditional Swiss lever escapement with varying degrees of success.
With the introduction of the exclusive Co-Axial calibre 8500 series in 2007, Omega can rightly claim to have achieved an impressive union of escapement design and watchmaking excellence that delivers better chronometric performance than any other 'production' watch movement in the world.
The short video below follows the production process of the formidable calibre 8500 series movements.
These days there's no such thing, strictly, as an evening watch. The standards of formality have relaxed so markedly that the definition of formal wear has become tortuously ambiguous over the last three decades. It’s almost at the point where you could roll up at Alain Ducasse at the Dorchester and bog into the tasting menu wearing little more than designer jeans and a Ploprof on your wrist!!
Wearing tool watches to black tie events and dress watches to work is commonplace…and in some ways more’s the pity. Men just don’t get as many opportunities anymore to climb into a penguin suit, don a precious metal watch, hang an elegant woman off their arm and mingle with polite society. Not that this new informality is particularly lamentable, but the joys of “dressing up” are few and far between these days.
To add to the ambiguity, watch companies have been transforming tool watches (watches designed and engineered to perform a particular function or in a designated environment) into dress watches and indeed dress watches into tool watches – witness the Omega Constellation Double-Eagle range (Talk about a design code identity crisis). And now the lines are to be blurred further with the release of the Aqua Terra jewellery range.
I’m a great fan of the Omega Aqua Terra collection, both from the aesthetic and horological viewpoint. Since I have waxed lyrically on the case lines and design elements of the AT previously, we will explore other features of this newly released series. To start with, Omega has taken a commonsense approach to case size. Discerning some movement in the market towards cases that do not rival the diameter of Dawn French’s backside, Omega has sized the case sensibly at 38.5mm. It’s hardly small by today's standards, but cleverly positioned in the dead middle of the size-fashion continuum.
The dial looks appealing with the Aqua-Terra’s signature teak design finished in black lacquer. The faceted arrow-head markers are dotted with eleven single cut diamonds and there is a brushed 18 Karat gold applied date window at 3 o'clock. The broad arrow minute hand, truncated Dauphine hour hand and arrowhead sweep draw deeply from Omega’s history and the overall effect of dial and hands is that of deliberately understated luxury.
The watch is presented on either a brushed 18 karat gold bracelet with Omega’s patented screw-and-pin system and a safety clasp or a black alligator leather strap with a fold-over clasp. A stainless steel version is also available.
The bezel is paved set with 52 full-cut diamonds and screams money or at least access to an excellent credit line. Overall, when comparing apples with apples, or jewellery watches with jewellery watches, the Aqua Terra has a timeless refinement about it and shapes up very well as an heirloom watch. Couple stylish design with the excellent calibre 8500 series under the dial and you have an aristocratic member of the montre bijoux class of watches.
But who will buy and wear them? Women for sure, but I can also see half the Chinese Politburo salivating over these watches. A fair number of the more effete varieties of fashionisti would stab each other in the back for one and wealthy dudes with no sexual identity issues will wear them without self-consciousness. And if you add the usual suspects like gansta rappers, hip-hoppers, crack cocaine lords and Ryan Seacrest clones, there will be no shortages of takers.
