Minute Machine Diamond Edition by OAKLEY

[ via Oakley ]

I cannot see an Oakley wristwatch selling for much over $1000, but it looks like they have come out with a titanium Minute Machine with diamonds on the dial for $3,500. Even with diamonds it seems odd to fork over this kind of money for a watch with a quartz movement. Either way here is a link to Oakley where you can buy this chono directly.

Oakley Holeshot Introduced at Baselworld

[ via Oakley ]

Oakley makes some unique watches like the Blade and the Time Tank that I really like because they are unmistakingly Oakley designs. I am not sure if the new Holeshot model will have the same impact as some of their other models, but I guess time will tell.

Oakley Judge Stealth Black

Oakley

Another cool Oakley watch that is a bit overpriced at $650. The stealth black agressive look with stopwatch functionality is nice.

The difference between an ordinary stopwatch and a true chronograph is the precision of 10-jewel Swiss Movement. This intuitive design features a sub dial for logging minutes and hours, plus a sweeping second hand that accelerates to the current moment when pause is released. Surgical stainless steel forms the durable case.

Oakley Blade II

I have to admit I really like Oakley watches, or at least some of them. In my opinion this is one of their better designs, however the Blade II version appears to be the same as the first Blade watch. I think all they did was change the colors a bit and raise the price. If they ever want to earn my business they are gonna have to give one to me for free or lower their prices. Like I said before I really like their watches, but I cannot see paying $550 for an Oakley Blade II or an Oakly Blade I. What is even worse is the other two models I like, the Judge and the Chronograph models, cost even more.

Oakley Judge Leather Edition

Here is a new Oakley Judge Leather Edition. Measure accumulated time, intermediate time and a second time interval with a true chronograph that features 10-jewel quartz movement. This precision instrument includes a sub dial for logging minutes and hours, plus a sweeping second hand that accelerates to the current moment when pause is released. The surgical stainless steel case is matched with a pure sapphire crystal. Anti-reflective (AR) coating helps eliminate glare, and the intuitive analog dial face includes a large date display. This edition of JUDGE™ offers the all-day comfort of a genuine leather strap.

Oakley Time Tank Leather Strap


Here is a new Oakley Time Tank watch with a leather strap. I think it is very creative and different, although I could think of many other watches that I would spend a grand on.

Oakley Announces New Premium Wristwatch


Foothill Ranch, Ca - March 28, 2006
Oakley, Inc. (NYSE: OO) today announced the upcoming release of a new wristwatch called Oakley TIME TANK™. Further expanding the company's premium line, Oakley TIME TANK™ is a Swiss made chronograph that blends the precision of 13-jewel Swiss movement with definitive Oakley design.

"When it comes to authentic design, Oakley TIME TANK™ leaves tracks the world can't ignore," said Colin Baden, president, Oakley, Inc. "Many wristwatch buyers want a look of refinement yet the industry keeps giving them the same, recycled ideas. Oakley TIME TANK™ combines sophistication with outspoken styling and is assertive enough to throw some weight around - even if gravity barely takes notice because it's made of ultra-lightweight titanium."

Oakley comes up with some very unique wriswach ideas. This one starts at $995 MSRP with a leather strap and $1195 MSRP with a titanium bracelet.

    Oakley Blade Watch

    [ via Oakley ]

    The Oakley “Blade” collection is one cool group of watches. These watches use the same pure sapphire crystals used in most high-end watches and they are enhanced with an anti-reflective coating. Oakley says it takes more than 16 million pounds of force to hammer high-grade stainless steel into submission. A 300-ton hydraulic ram blasts an ingot 27 times to create the blade design. The stainless steel bracelet is made to fit many wrist sizes without the wide gapping of conventional links. Possibly the coolest feature on these watches is the curved blade shaped hands that are signature Oakley. The movement is a five jewel Swiss quartz and is powered by a 74-month battery.

    You can order a Blade watch directly from the Oakley website in stealth black, polished or brushed metal. The Blade is reasonably priced considering the quality and design. If the Blade is not for you we recommend looking at the GMT and Judge collections also. Oakley paid close attention to detail when making the Blade watch, which is crucial in a market where detail is everything.

    Oakley Judge Wristwatch

    [ via Oakley ]

    The Stealth Black "Judge" from Oakley is quite mean looking. The Judge is made of surgical steel with a darkened look and it has a 10-jewel Swiss movement. Oakley has not been making watches for a long time, but they definitely make very nice watches for the money. This watch has an MSRP of $650 and many of their watches go for much less.
