On modern Rolex sapphire crystals, there is a tiny Rolex logo laser-etched directly into the crystal itself, right at the 6 o\u2019clock location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rolex started etching its sapphire crystals around 2001 as a way to deter counterfeiters, and now every watch that the brand produces (with the one exception being the Milgauss with its green-tinted sapphire crystal) is fitted with a laser-etched crystal.&nbsp; If you don&#8217;t see the crown on the crystal on a 2001 or newer watch, you may want to check our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/rolex-info\/the-top-ways-to-spot-a-fake-rolex.html\">fake vs real Rolex guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This laser etching can often be difficult to see (particularly if you have a light-colored dial) and it sometimes takes both magnifications and just the right lighting to be able to fully make out the coronet insignia. Additionally, it is also worth noting that you may come across some Rolex laser-etched crystals that are service replacement components and have a slightly different etching on them. On these service replacement crystals, you will see a tiny &#8220;S&#8221; placed inside the base of the coronet, which serves as a way to distinguish them as genuine service replacement crystals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Omega Logo in Hesalite Speedmaster Crystals<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1180\" height=\"787\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Omega_SpeedMaster_20JM4144-Edit-2.jpg\" alt=\"Luxury Watch Easter Eggs Omega Logo Inside Crystal \" class=\"wp-image-47313\" title=\"Omega Logo Inside Crystal\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Omega_SpeedMaster_20JM4144-Edit-2.jpg 1180w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Omega_SpeedMaster_20JM4144-Edit-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Omega_SpeedMaster_20JM4144-Edit-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Omega_SpeedMaster_20JM4144-Edit-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Omega_SpeedMaster_20JM4144-Edit-2-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1180px) 100vw, 1180px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Rolex\u2019s laser-etched crystals may receive the majority of the attention these days, but Omega has been producing crystals with hidden anti-counterfeit markings since the 1950s. Located directly in the center of Omega&#8217;s acrylic crystals is a tiny Omega logo. While the vast majority of Omega watches now feature sapphire crystals, the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.omegawatches.com\/en-us\/watches\/speedmaster\/moonwatch-professional\/product\"> classic Speedmaster Moonwatch<\/a> still features a traditional Hesalite crystal.  If you look directly at the center of one, you will see a small Omega logo right above the hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this unique feature is largely exclusive to the brand&#8217;s acrylic crystals, a small handful of Omega sapphire crystals also contain this subtle detail. The limited-edition 1957 Trilogy watches are intended to be near-exact recreations of their vintage counterparts, but they do feature sapphire crystals instead of acrylic crystals like the inaugural models from the 1950s. However, the domed sapphire crystals on these watches contain this subtle detail etched into them as a way to more closely follow the designs of their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/omega\/vintage-1.html\" title=\"vintage OMEGA\">vintage OMEGA<\/a> predecessors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Green Date Wheel on the GMT-Master II Ref. 116718<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/rolex_gmt-master-ii-ref-116718-yellow-gold-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-57324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/rolex_gmt-master-ii-ref-116718-yellow-gold-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/rolex_gmt-master-ii-ref-116718-yellow-gold-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/rolex_gmt-master-ii-ref-116718-yellow-gold-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/rolex_gmt-master-ii-ref-116718-yellow-gold-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/rolex_gmt-master-ii-ref-116718-yellow-gold-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Green is Rolex&#8217;s signature color.\u00a0 So, it isn&#8217;t unusual to see the brand incorporate different shades of the hue into various offerings in its lineup, most notably anniversary models.\u00a0 Rolex did just that when ref. 116718 hit the market in 2005, marking the <a title=\"50th anniversary of the GMT Master collection\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/resources\/anniversary-rolex-watches.html#50th_Anniversary_Rolex_GMT-Master_II_116718LN\">50th anniversary of the GMT-Master collection<\/a>. The yellow gold model initially debuted with a bright green anniversary dial, followed by the black dial variant.\u00a0 As the first in the 6-digit GMT Master II series, both models also featured shiny new ceramic &#8220;Cerachrom&#8221; bezels, new movements, the upgrade to Rolex&#8217;s Triplock screw-down crown, and an anti-reflective Cyclops lens.\u00a0 But it&#8217;s what&#8217;s below that lens that we&#8217;re most interested in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you look closely at the black dial ref. 116718, you&#8217;ll notice that the numerals in the date wheel are green to match the GMT Master II logo and 24-hour hand.\u00a0 This small detail is easy to miss if you don\u2019t already know it&#8217;s there.\u00a0 It&#8217;s elusive and unique to this GMT model, and that&#8217;s what makes the green date wheel such a charming Easter egg.\u00a0 Interestingly, the green dial variant does not have a green date wheel to match.\u00a0 Instead, it features all-gold hands, all-gold text, and a black date wheel.\u00a0 Next time you see a Rolex GMT green dial anniversary model, keep an eye out for the green date wheel.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Hidden &#8220;50&#8221; on the OHMSS 50th Anniversary Omega Seamaster ref. 210.22.42.20.01.004<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/lume-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-57327\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/lume-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/lume-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/lume-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/lume-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/lume-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Omega has a storied history with the James Bond franchise, dating to 1995 when the debonair Pierce Brosnan took the screen as Agent 007 in the film <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GoldenEye<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with a Seamaster strapped to his wrist.\u00a0 An Omega Seamaster has been featured in every James Bond film since then.

Just a few decades ago, the industry was still relying on radioactive materials to make watches glow in the dark. However, modern advancements in lume have allowed watch manufacturers to make dials and hands with a variety of different colors of lume. Not only can the luminous material itself be a specific color, but it can also be made to emit a different color when it glows in the dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Omega has fully embraced different colored luminous material, and all modern Omega dive watches from the brand&#8217;s Seamaster collection now feature two different colors of lume. The minute hand and the zero marker on the bezel insert are finished in green-glowing Super-LumiNova, while the rest of the hands and hour markers receive lume that glows blue. In the daylight, all of the luminous material appears plain white. However, in the dark, the contrast in colors allows users to more easily track elapsed time against the rotating bezel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Two Different Dials of the Rolex Submariner 116613LB<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1180\" height=\"787\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/MicrosoftTeams-image-copy-2.jpg\" alt=\"Luxury Watch Easter Eggs Rolex Submariner Blue Dial 116613LB\" class=\"wp-image-47315\" title=\"Rolex Submariner 116613LB Blue Dials\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/MicrosoftTeams-image-copy-2.jpg 1180w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/MicrosoftTeams-image-copy-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/MicrosoftTeams-image-copy-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/MicrosoftTeams-image-copy-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/MicrosoftTeams-image-copy-2-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1180px) 100vw, 1180px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>When it comes to collecting Rolex watches, it is often rare and unusual dial variations that are responsible for one watch being worth multiple times the value of its near-identical counterpart. However, one of the more unusual and short-lived Rolex dials that seldom receive all that much attention from the collecting community is the gloss blue dial that was fitted to early examples of the Rolex Submariner reference 116613LB. Yes, that is correct &#8211; there are two different blue dials for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex\/submariner-116613\">Rolex Submariner ref. 116613<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Rolex first updated the blue two-tone Submariner to feature a blue Cerachrom bezel in 2009, the brand originally also updated its blue dial. Rather than having a metallic sunburst finish like before, Rolex initially gave the reference 116613LB a bright blue dial with a flat glossy finish (somewhat similar to the style of dial found inside the white gold version of the watch). The intention was to make the dial better match the bright blue hue of the ceramic bezel, but many collectors lamented the loss of the blue sunburst dial and by 2013, Rolex had discontinued the gloss blue dial and returned to the previous sunburst style for the blue versions of the two-tone Submariner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Zirconium Oxide Etching on Ceramic Omega Dials<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1180\" height=\"787\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/MicrosoftTeams-image-copy-4.jpg\" alt=\"Luxury Watch Easter Eggs Omega Ceramic Dial Engraving \" class=\"wp-image-47316\" title=\"Omega Ceramic Dial Engraving\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/MicrosoftTeams-image-copy-4.jpg 1180w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/MicrosoftTeams-image-copy-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/MicrosoftTeams-image-copy-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/MicrosoftTeams-image-copy-4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/MicrosoftTeams-image-copy-4-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1180px) 100vw, 1180px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>In more recent years, ceramic has started to play an increasing role in Omega&#8217;s manufacturing process. Ceramic bezels and cases have been options in the brand\u2019s catalog for several years now, but one of the more recent developments is the use of ceramic dials. Most often found in select dive watches from the Seamaster collection, Omega\u2019s ceramic dials feature a small marking to denote that they are made from ceramic. If you look at the center of the dial right below the hands, you will find a small \u201cZrO2\u201d etching, which stands for zirconium oxide (the type of ceramic that Omega uses for its various components).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than being constructed from a sheet of metal that is then coated with different surface finishing layers to provide it with its color and texture, Omega&#8217;s ceramic dials feature a sheet of zirconium oxide ceramic that gives the dial its unique aesthetic. Since ceramic is highly scratch-resistant and impervious to the fading effects of UV light, Omega&#8217;s ceramic dials promise to maintain their aesthetic for the foreseeable future. The dial color is determined by the actual color of the ceramic material itself and on many watches, Omega will laser engrave the surface of the dial to add greater depth and give it a unique, modern appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Glowing Head on the Omega Speedmaster Speedy Tuesday &#8220;Ultraman&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1180\" height=\"787\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/MicrosoftTeams-image-6-2.jpg\" alt=\"Luxury Watch Easter Eggs Omega Speedmaster Speedy Tuesday Ultraman\" class=\"wp-image-47317\" title=\"Omega Speedmaster - Speedy Tuesday &quot;Ultraman&quot;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/MicrosoftTeams-image-6-2.jpg 1180w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/MicrosoftTeams-image-6-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/MicrosoftTeams-image-6-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/MicrosoftTeams-image-6-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/MicrosoftTeams-image-6-2-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1180px) 100vw, 1180px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Omega is no stranger to having a bit of fun with the luminous material that it uses on watches. Even the brand\u2019s standard-production dive watches feature two different colors of lume, so when Omega released the second Speedy Tuesday edition Speedmaster &#8211; a watch that draws inspiration from both a vintage Speedmaster model (nicknamed the Ultraman) and the Japanese \u2018Ultraman\u2019 television show, the brand included a hidden design element that can only be revealed under UV light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Located inside the running seconds sub-dial at the 9 o\u2019clock location is the silhouette of Ultraman\u2019s helmet. Barely visible in the daylight, this hidden feature springs to life when exposed to ultraviolet light and the Ultraman head glows bright orange, rather than green like the rest of the lume used on the hands and hour markers. Omega even includes a little UV light among the various accessories in the box for the Speedy Tuesday Ultraman, so it seems that this hidden Easter egg is one that the brand wanted everyone to find and enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Internal Antimagnetic Shield on the Rolex Air-King 116900<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1180\" height=\"787\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Rolex_Milgauss_116400_20JM7425-Edit-2-2.jpg\" alt=\"Luxury Watch Easter Eggs Rolex Air-King 116900 Internal Antimagnetic Shield\" class=\"wp-image-51967\" title=\"Rolex Air-King ref. 116900 - Internal Antimagnetic Shield\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Rolex_Milgauss_116400_20JM7425-Edit-2-2.jpg 1180w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Rolex_Milgauss_116400_20JM7425-Edit-2-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Rolex_Milgauss_116400_20JM7425-Edit-2-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Rolex_Milgauss_116400_20JM7425-Edit-2-2-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1180px) 100vw, 1180px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This particular Easter egg is so well hidden that you won\u2019t even be able to see it without first opening up the case of the watch. Everyone knows how the Rolex Milgauss features an internal antimagnetic shield that protects its movement from disruptive magnetic fields. However, a lesser-known fact is that the recently discontinued Rolex Air-King reference 116900 also features this exact same internal shield, because it shares both a case and movement with Rolex\u2019s famous line of antimagnetic watches for scientists.<\/span>  You can read a comparison we did on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/watch-101\/antimagnetic-rolex-watches-air-king-milgauss.html\">Rolex Milgauss vs Air-King anti-magnetic watches here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the outer caseback of the Rolex Air-King ref. 116900 does not feature any text like the one found on the Milgauss, the cases themselves are otherwise identical, right down to their internal antimagnetic shields. If you remove the outer caseback on a reference 116900, you will be greeted by another case-back that features the letter \u2018B\u2019 with an arrow above it, which is the symbol for magnetic flux density. While the outer caseback is made from stainless steel and is designed to prevent moisture and dirt from entering the watch, the internal caseback is crafted from ferromagnetic alloys that are specifically selected by Rolex to redistribute magnetic fields, and it functions just like the shield on the Milgauss to protect the Air-King\u2019s movement.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone loves a good Easter egg hunt.
