2012 in Review: Top 12 Watches of the Year!

The year 2012 wasn’t exactly rewarding for the better part of the population. Greece didn’t default, Doomsday didn’t happen and Valve yet again failed to deliver HL:3. However, there were certain bright spots, too: Spain emerged victorious in the 2012 UEFA Euro cup and the European politicians somehow managed to prevent collapse of the single currency. The watchmakers from Europe and Japan, too, managed to introduce a number of great watches, although there was nothing truly revolutionary neither in terms of design, nor technical characteristics (here I am talking about mass-produced models, not some ultra-expensive one-offs).

Here is a list of twelve timekeepers that were introduced in 2012 and enjoyed the most attention from our readers. Enjoy it right after the jump!

Omega Spacemaster Z-33 Analog Digital Flight Computer

It’s been years since Omega discontinued its (almost) legendary Speedmaster Professional X-33 digital analog watch that directly competed against a similar model from Breitling. Finally, the Swiss watchmaker, which is mostly known for its diving timekeepers, has presented a totally reworked version of the piece. Called Omega Spacemaster Z-33 and featuring stunning (although somewhat controversial) design, the new quartz-powered flight computer clearly belongs to the “love it or hate it” category. It was first demonstrated in flesh earlier this month during Baselworld 2012 event.
