The Omega symbol in a car

The first time I noticed a named watch or jewelery company putting its' name onto a clock in a car was I think back in the 70s when if I recall correctly, Cartier was on the clocks of the Lincoln Continental. I know currently the BBB is on the dashboard of a Bentley. What car do you think the symbol of Omega should be carried in pals?

Given Omega's more subtle quality approach, you'd need a car of true quality and presence that wasn't loud and flashy. It need not be in the entire range of the cars by a given manufacturer of course.

This should be fun.

So whatcha think pals?


Y'all have a nice day now :001_smile:

Well guys

I was thinking high end Audi. I know Fergie has made the case for the automotive equivalent of Omegas to be Mercs before but I rather think of the Audi as a more subtle presentation. Either would be just the ticket though I imagine.


Be well now pals

I'd go with that Zin. I love the current Audi range (Except the A2). They are not too flashy, well built, drive like a dream (based soley on my experience of driving an A8 2.8 across Northern Ireland). When most people think of a nice car, BMW or Mercedes almost always starts off the list. Kind of like when most people think of a nice watch, they automatically think Rolex without knowing about or considering other makes.

As for the Vauxhall Omega. They are nice cars. They drive well, go like stink for a large car and of course my father has one :001_smile:


Then in the early 90's, there was the 180mph Vauxhall Lotus Carlton, aka Opel Lotus Omega in Europe.


Again, not too flashy. Just looked and acted like a car on steroids!!
