Montblanc is the Official Timekeeper of the 2010 Belmont Stakes

Why Omega?
A question: Why did you choose Omega? They are rather rare (I often go weeks w/o seeing one, and I live in a big city). Most people dont -appear- to know much about them, though the ads seem to be fairly common. Just curious why you chose one? I love that they are different.
