Made from grade 2 titanium, the watch is strong, lightweight and corrosion-resistant, making it comfortable to wear during exercise or sweating. In addition, the watch features an aluminium brown bezel and dial, giving it the "tropical" hue of a vintage model over time.
The domed sapphire crystal gives this watch a slim look. The watch is available in two combinations, one with a secondary titanium mesh bracelet with an innovative adjustable clasp, and the other with a nato strap with alternating stripes in brown, grey and beige.
Water-resistant to 300 metres, this 007 diver's watch is powered by the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806, which meets the highest standards of precision, magnetic resistance and chronometric performance. With a power reserve of 55 hours, the watch can easily meet everyday needs.
After the game, Malone wrote this paragraph on social media: "A magical and magical journey, 12 years is also a reincarnation. At any given time, there is a better option than giving up. Thank you for not giving up, and thank you to everyone who cheered us on. "Ma Long's relentless pursuit of table tennis has allowed him to lift the trophy again, and Omega has once again witnessed this glorious moment.
