I found the Oakley Timebomb at an Oakley outlet store for $250 (US) ... I didn't buy it, but the price is definately right ... So, now I'm thinking about it ... I'm a bit nervous about the movement though ... while it is an automatic, it's not a traditional mechanical watch ... What do you guys think? Attachment: OAKLEYTIMEBOMB.jpg (Downloaded 35 times)

Its a sleek looking watch - and that is a good price (the bay has em for >$380). The movement is an automatic quartz: The Oakley® Inertial Generator® converts human motion into electrical current. The spin of a precision flywheel mechanism, the O Engine®, charges a lithium capacitor that powers the chronometer. The ghost in the machine is the O Engine®, a precision flywheel designed to utilize multiple vectors of motion. Rather than coiling a conventional mainspring, it torques a subminiature generator to drive the process of electromagnetism that calibrates with the cadence of crystal current. Pretty cool imho... hand6.gif

Not sure if I like it, but Oakley sure does dare to be different, and that's cool.
